Why Tokyo SkyTree Should Be on Your Bucket List
If you’re heading to Tokyo, you simply cannot miss Tokyo SkyTree. At this height, who could? This towering marvel is an adventure-packed experience that offers some of the best views, food, and shopping in the city. At a jaw-dropping 634 meters, it’s the tallest structure in Japan and the third tallest in the world. Ready to learn why it’s worth your time and yen? Let’s dive in!
Why Visit Tokyo SkyTree?
First, it’s an iconic symbol of modern Japan. The mesh-like appearance will have you thinking you just stepped into the future. Plus, it’s not every day you get to say you’ve been at the top of one of the tallest buildings on Earth. Whether you’re a solo traveler, a couple looking for a romantic spot, or a family seeking fun, SkyTree has something for everyone.
So, What’s So Special About It?
At night, it lights up in different themes, creating a magical skyline that’s worth a photo (or ten). And if statistics are your thing, the 634-meter height is a clever nod to the old name for the region: Musashi. In Japanese, “634” can be read as “Mu-sa-shi” — how cool is that, right?
Things to Do at Tokyo SkyTree
Take in the Views: No brainer here, you must head up to the Tembo Deck (350 meters) or the Tembo Galleria (450 meters) for panoramic views of Tokyo. There is even a high-resolution telescope on this floor. On a clear day, you might even spot Mount Fuji!
