Decks of Tokyo Skytree

The Tokyo Sky Tree is notable for its two observation decks, which offer stunning views over Tokyo. The decks that are enclosed are situated at heights of 350 and 450 meters, making them the tallest observation decks in Japan.

Tembo Deck [First Observation Deck]

The Tembo Deck, the lower of the two decks, is 350 meters tall and spans three floors, offering stunning views from every level. The best 360-degree panoramic views of the city can be seen from tall, wide windows on the top floor. On the middle floor, there is a souvenir shop and the Musashi Sky Restaurant.

The Tembo Deck is connected to the 450-meter-high Tembo Galleria by a second set of elevators. The Tembo Galleria, which has been claimed to be the highest skywalk in the world, has a spiral ramp that slopes and gets taller as it circles around the tower.

What is around the Tokyo Sky Tree?

Tokyo Soramachi

The Tokyo Sky Tree is home to Tokyo Solamachi (lit. 'Tokyo Sky Town'), a massive shopping, dining, and entertainment complex. There are more than 300 established and original shops and restaurants, and it is well worth a visit even without Japan's tallest tower on top of it.

A large food market, food court, and four floors of interesting restaurants are also located in the complex. These include the two top floors of the Skytree East Building, which provide nice views of the Skytree.

There is plenty of time to be spent at the Sumida Aquarium, the Tenku Planetarium (without English assistance), and the many small green spaces and terraces throughout the complex.

Senso-ji

Asakusa is the location of Sensoji, a Buddhist temple. One of Tokyo's most popular and colorful temples.

According to the legend, in 628, two brothers retrieved a statue of Kannon, the goddess of mercy, from the Sumida River. Despite their effort to return it to the river, it always returned to them. Tokyo's oldest temple is the temple that was finished in 645.

Visiting the temple begins with the Kaminarimon (Thunder Gate) entrance, which is the outer gate of Sensoji Temple and represents Asakusa and the entire city of Tokyo.

Yakatabune

Yakatabune is Japanese traditional plays that have a long history. The houseboat around Asakusa is a great place to enjoy Japanese cuisine and Sake while admiring the stunning scenery.

Spectacular views of Tokyo can be enjoyed during every season. Spring is when cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and summer is when fireworks are launched, and so on.

In addition, Japanese dishes that use carefully selected seasonal ingredients like Tempura, Sashimi, and a hot-pot dish will be served in autumn and winter.

Where to see Tokyo Skytree?

Genmori-bashi Bridge

It is located between the West and East zones of TOKYO mizumachi. The Tobu Railway runs over TOKYO mizumachi. Taking photos of both the Tobu Railway and TOKYO Skytree is a possibility. Both the Tokyo Skytree and Asakusa are easily accessible from here, so we highly recommend visiting both of these tourist spots.

Asakusa-Nitemmon Pier

During the cherry blossom season, there is another spot near Asakusa-Nitemon Pier that is worth visiting. It is possible to capture a photo of the cherry blossoms stretching along the Sumida River with the Tokyo Skytree in the background. If you’re lucky, you can take a picture of the yakatabune and TOKYO SKYTREE all in one shot.

Riverbed near Yotsugi Station

The Yotsugi Station is covered in Captain Tsubasa's artwork in a literal sense. Characters from the popular series are present on the station platform, stairs, and ticket gates. From the riverbed near Yotsugi Station, you can get a nostalgic view of the TOKYO SKYTREE.

Sumida Park

Taito City side

Despite the late January weather, I was able to capture a combination of plum blossoms and TOKYO SKYTREE. The plum blossoms are one of the best times to visit from late January to February.

Sumida City side

If you're looking to take a photo of both the cherry blossoms and Tokyo Skytree, this park is a popular place to go for Hanami (cherry blossom viewing).
