A travel guide to the best places to visit

Tokyo Skytree

The Tokyo Skytree is an architectural marvel in the heart of Tokyo. It’s the tallest structure in Japan, the biggest tower on the planet and the second tallest structure in the world with an impressive height of 634.0 metres, which is 2,080 ft. The only taller building is the Burj Khalifa which stands in Dubai. It serves as a futuristic looking media broadcasting tower.

At the base of the Tokyo Skytree you will find a shopping mall with plenty of souvenir shops, more than a hundred fashion shops and countless restaurants with quint Japanese snacks tempting tourists to try some local delights. On the fourth floor is a ticket counter where you can buy a ticket for the observation deck on floor 350 and floor 450, which are respectively 350 and 450 meter above ground level. Offering the best panoramic view imaginable over the endlessly outstretched city of Tokyo on one of the highest observation decks on the planet. From here you can even see Mount Fuji in the distance.

Considering a ticket to the observation decks of the skytree is actually quite reasonably priced this is a must do attraction in Tokyo. If you go sightseeing in Tokyo then the Tokyo Skytree is an obligatory visit. It’s an unique experience which really can’t be found elsewhere.
