Tokyo Skytree Entry Tickets Overview
Rising 634 metres above the Oshiage district of Sumida ward, Tokyo Skytree is the tallest structure in Japan and the second tallest in the world after the Burj Khalifa. Completed in May 2012 and designed by the Japanese architectural firm Nikken Sekkei, the tower was conceived as a broadcasting facility to replace Tokyo Tower in an era of urban high-rise construction that had begun to block the older tower's signal, but has become one of the most visited attractions in Japan in its own right.
The tower's observation experience is divided between two levels. The Tembo Deck at 350 metres is the main observation floor, accessible via high-speed lifts that carry passengers from the fourth floor to the deck in approximately 50 seconds. The floor-to-ceiling glass panels rise over 5 metres tall, arranged in a 360-degree arc that allows views of up to 70 kilometres across the Tokyo metropolitan area. A glass floor section creates a direct downward view over the city below. On clear winter days, Mount Fuji is visible to the south-west, the Boso Peninsula to the east, and the complete sprawl of greater Tokyo in every direction.
The Tembo Galleria at 450 metres is accessible as a separate add-on ticket from within the Tembo Deck. A gentle spiral ramp winds up through a dramatic glass tube structure to the Sorakara Point at 451.2 metres, the highest publicly accessible point in Japan. The Solamachi shopping and dining complex at the base of the tower houses approximately 300 shops and restaurants, a Sumida Aquarium, and a planetarium, creating a complete full-day destination.
Know Before You Go
Last admission to the Tembo Deck is strictly at 21:00 despite the tower's nominal 22:00 closing time so arriving after 21:00 means you will be turned away regardless of the stated hours
The best time for views of Mount Fuji is during winter from November to February when atmospheric clarity is at its peak, while early morning visits offer the clearest air and shortest queues throughout the year
The Tembo Galleria ticket at 450 metres must be purchased from within the Tembo Deck on the day as it cannot be pre-booked separately and is subject to capacity limits
The tower is illuminated nightly in one of two signature designs: Iki (deep Edo blue) or Miyabi (rich Edo purple), with seasonal and event-based variations making evening visits particularly photogenic from outside as well as within
Book your Tokyo Skytree tickets online in advance to avoid the ¥500 per ticket surcharge added to all purchases made at the fourth-floor ticket counter or vending machines, and to secure your preferred time slot as sunset slots fill quickly

FAQs
Tokyo Skytree has two observation levels. The Tembo Deck at 350 metres is the main observation floor accessible with the standard ticket, featuring 5-metre-tall glass panels in a 360-degree arc, a glass floor section, a café, shops, and Sky Restaurant 634. The Tembo Galleria at 450 metres is a separate glass tube spiral ramp structure that winds up to the Sorakara Point at 451.2 metres, the highest publicly accessible point in Japan, available as a separate add-on ticket from within the Tembo Deck.
Tokyo Skytree is located at 1-1-2 Oshiage, Sumida City, Tokyo 131-0045. The most convenient connections are Tokyo Skytree Station on the Tobu Skytree Line, directly adjacent to the tower, and Oshiage Station on the Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line and Toei Asakusa Line, a short covered walk from the fourth-floor entrance. From Asakusa the journey on the Tobu Skytree Line takes approximately 2 minutes.
Last admission to the Tembo Deck is at 21:00, a full hour before the tower's nominal closing time of 22:00. This catches many visitors out who assume they can enter until 22:00. Arriving after 21:00 will result in being turned away. If planning an evening visit, arriving by 20:30 at the latest is recommended to allow time for the lift queue and a comfortable visit before closing.
Yes, Tokyo Skytree is an excellent family destination. Children aged 5 and under enter the Tembo Deck free. The high-speed lift ride taking approximately 50 seconds from ground to the observation deck is a memorable experience for children. The glass floor section is consistently popular with young visitors. The Tokyo Solamachi complex below with its Pokémon Centre, Sumida Aquarium, and numerous family restaurants makes the site a complete full-day destination.
Yes, on sufficiently clear days Mount Fuji is visible from the Tembo Deck and Tembo Galleria to the south-west. The best conditions for seeing Fuji are during the winter months from November to February when cold, dry air provides maximum atmospheric clarity. Early morning visits on clear winter days offer the most reliable Fuji views. Summer views are possible but significantly less frequent due to haze and cloud.
Tokyo Skytree is illuminated nightly after dark in one of two signature colour schemes: Iki, a deep Edo blue inspired by traditional Tokyo craftsmen's culture, and Miyabi, a rich Edo purple with a more elegant character. The illumination cycles between these two designs on a rotating schedule, with special seasonal and event-based colour variations throughout the year. The Sumida River Fireworks Festival on 25 July 2026 triggers special illumination and extended viewing hours.
Buying tickets online in advance is the most effective way to save money at Tokyo Skytree. All purchases made at the fourth-floor ticket counter or vending machines on site carry a ¥500 per ticket surcharge. For a family of four this represents a saving of ¥2,000. Online tickets also allow you to select a preferred time slot and avoid queuing at the counter on arrival.
Tokyo Solamachi is a large shopping and dining complex at the base of Tokyo Skytree housing approximately 300 shops and restaurants across multiple floors. It includes a Pokémon Centre, the Sumida Aquarium, the Konica Minolta Planetarium Tenku, numerous Japanese and international restaurants, and the Tokyo Skytree Official Shop THE SKYTREE SHOP. Solamachi is free to enter and does not require an observation deck ticket.
