TOKYO SKYTREE

Tokyo viewed from its highest horizon.

Why we love itThe view changes Tokyo from a collection of neighborhoods into one immense continuous landscape.

TOKYO SKYTREE rises above eastern Tokyo with observation levels at 350 and 450 metres. Its height reveals the scale of the entire city, while the connected shopping, dining and entertainment complex makes it easy to combine with a wider day in Asakusa and Sumida.
