The 31 best walking spots in Taito (2024)

Great overall experience and I would place this above the Tokyo tower for many reasons. The line to get in does take a while, and can be a little tricky to find the start of, so plan to arrive at the general area a few minutes in advance. The views are great and there are countless spots to eat in and around the tower. It will take a little longer than you would like to leave the tower from either floor. The second floor was nice, but not much different from a view perspective than the first floor. You can easily spend a few hours in this area and I'd suggest planning on no less than 90 minutes.

We arrived here about an hour before our ticketed time and had early bird tickets and scan the code and went in, such an easy process. I had used the official Skytree website as the travel websites didn't have the right time slots available. The views at the first stop, 350m, were spectacular. And then we went up to 450m and wow! We got to see MT Fuji in the distance against the sunset.a lot of people crowding for photos but we managed to get a decent view and it was well worth it.

My visit to the Tokyo Skytree was nothing short of mesmerizing. Rising elegantly against the Tokyo skyline, it stands as a symbol of innovation and modernity.During the day, the panoramic views from the observation decks were simply breathtaking. I could see Tokyo stretching out endlessly in every direction, with its maze of streets and towering buildings creating a vibrant tapestry below.As night fell, the Skytree transformed into a dazzling spectacle of lights. The cityscape sparkled and shimmered, and I was captivated by the beauty of Tokyo illuminated against the dark sky. The Skytree itself was adorned with colorful lights, adding to the magical ambiance of the evening.One of the highlights of my visit was staying in a nearby hotel, which offered unparalleled views of the Skytree. Witnessing its majestic presence both during the day and at night allowed me to appreciate its architectural brilliance from different perspectives.Overall, my experience at the Tokyo Skytree was unforgettable. It's not just a towering structure but a symbol of Tokyo's dynamism and spirit. Whether day or night, the Skytree offers an enchanting glimpse into the heart of this bustling metropolis.

Beautiful views!!Try to arrive 30 min before sunset to experience daylight and nighttime in one visit. You need to book in advance as it’s usually crowded, sometimes the booking slots open on the same day only so book early in the morning for the day you’re visiting.There are two stops, the deck and the galleria. Elevator is very fast and 10m per second!Just outside the tower at the base, there are many small food stalls for a snack after you visit.

You can easily buy ticket(s) in advance and train station is directly connected to the actual building.-View is phenomenal in both day and night time. Highly recommend you go on both times.-If you buy the ticket that includes top most deck, it’ll only take you about a minute total.-There are floors of food, merchandise and clothing there that fits most people’s needs.-Area is really modern and clean.

Expensive, but so worth it! Perfect for families and dates with loved ones. There are plenty of photo opportunities to be had here and the views are simply marvelous. Sunset is the best time to be here. Children under 5 are admitted free. There is a sky bar with snacks, ice creams and yummy co*cktails. The Tropical co*cktail was quite nice at 634 meters up!

Tokyo Skytree is a must-visit attraction for anyone visiting Tokyo. Standing at 634 meters, it is the tallest tower in Japan and offers breathtaking views of the city from its two observation decks. The tower is located in Sumida, Tokyo and is easily accessible by train.One of the highlights of my visit to Tokyo Skytree was watching the sunset from the observation deck. The 360-degree views of the city and its surroundings were truly stunning. I was also lucky enough to witness the rare phenomenon known as ‘Diamond Fuji’, where the sunset and sunrise align perfectly with the peak of Mount Fuji, creating a spectacular, jewel-like image.Overall, I highly recommend a visit to Tokyo Skytree for its stunning views and unique experiences.

It was crowded, but the queue went fast until you get to the elevators to go upstairs. When you get up, it's very crowded. The food and drink is relatively expensive but also not too expensive. The view is phenomenal but it will be difficult to take photos of you. Unfortunately, I wasn't at the top because the tickets were all already sold out, so if you want to go to the top, book the tickets in advance, but even if you don't want to go to the top, I would recommend reserving the ticket!

Amazing views of the city at the top, it's worth buying both tickets for the 2 top floors.Nice cafe at the top too selling corn dogs, I bought 3 for myself 😋, your ears start to pop the closer to the top as elevators are quick.Massive shopping centre downstairs with a pokemon centre and other shops for traditional Japanese items, we also got a caricature done which was really fun and everything was reasonably priced.Outside was a Christmas market with lots of warm food to try.Smoking area outside.

As a tourist this was well worth the time and money. Amazing views of Tokyo/Yokohama. Can even faintly see Mount Fuji in the distance. Mind boggling that the city stretches from horizon to horizon. The viewing decks have many interesting things to see, and the tower base complex has several other attractions. I recommend it.

Visiting Tokyo Skytree was an unforgettable experience! The panoramic views from the observation decks were absolutely breathtaking, offering a stunning glimpse of Tokyo's vast urban landscape. The structure itself is a marvel of modern architecture, with its sleek design and impressive height. The Skytree Town below also provided plenty of shopping and dining options, adding to the overall experience. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is that the queues can be quite long, especially during peak hours, but the views are definitely worth the wait. A must-visit attraction for anyone exploring Tokyo!

Visiting Tokyo Skytree was really fun and exciting, but also very busy. It’s a super tall tower in Tokyo that lots of people want to see. When I got there, I saw a long line of people waiting to buy tickets. But, I found out that buying tickets online is smarter because you don’t have to wait as long. You still have to get your tickets from a machine when you arrive, but it saves you about half an hour of standing in line.The place was packed with people, but they have a good system for getting everyone up to the top. There are several elevators that take you up to where you can see the views. And wow, the views are amazing! You can see all over Tokyo from up there. There’s even a higher spot you can go to for even better views.For those who like taking photos, this is a great place. You can get some really nice shots of the city. They also have a special elevator for people in wheelchairs, which is really thoughtful. Plus, there’s a place to grab some food and even a service where professionals can take your photo.The only not-so-great part is how crowded it gets. But other than that, going to Tokyo Skytree is a lot of fun and something I think everyone should do if they visit Tokyo.

We got tickets online (same day) for just at dusk. It was perfect. While it was super busy, everything flows like a well oiled machine. The views were exceptional. It was really nice having snacks available at the top and an extensive souvenir shop downstairs. It was neat walking down a couple floors to a glass bottom floor and getting to see Tokyo underneath you. It was definitely worth the admission!

Quite an amazing view.The elevator up to the first observation deck takes only seconds.It gives you a full 360° view and plenty of photo opportunities.There's a snack counter on the initial level that has items such as drinks, ice cream and corn dogs. Having a snack while taking in the view is a pleasant and enjoyable experience.There is a second observation deck at the 450m. You have to buy an extra ticket for this area, but the experience is worth the little extra.The first observation deck has a lower level that has a gift shop and a restaurant. The food in the restaurant is good quality with full meals, desserts and drinks.

Definitely worth the price of admission. We bought the tickets same-day when we arrived as we wanted to ensure we had perfect weather. We had to wait an hour, which was fine as they had a bunch of food stalls on site selling street food, beer, etc.We timed our visit at sunset and we were able to get great views of Mt. Fuji on the horizon. Shortly after sunset, the city lights up beautifully.It can get crowded, you just have to be patient sometimes to get a spot on the window for a picture.We paid for both levels, why not. The highest level is really up there- almost feels like you're in a plane everything is so small!This is a top 10 site in Tokyo and shouldn't be missed.

Highly recommend spending the 3100¥ on the combo ticket to go all the way up! The views are stunning! I recommend going before sunset ti get daytime views and watch the sun set in Mt. Fuji! Being able to see the other mountains were stunning backdrops to the vast Tokyo city!There are maps in English and Japanese so you can join what areas you're looking on.We paid using a machine with credit card the day of, no wait onna Friday afternoon. Plenty of bathrooms on each floor. There are 2 cafes, I recommend the one where you can have a seat and enjoy the view on the lowest floor before you exit.

It's was a good visit for weekend, it takes 3-4 hours to visit the top of sky tree. It's was very crowded and each times for using elevator need to spend minimum 20 minutes in line. If you visit it close to evening you can see a beautiful evening and also you can see the city on night mode with lots of lights.Place is clean and beautiful. The price for adults is 3400 yen. The elevator speed is 600m per minute. It was good feeling use fast elevator.

An advice : don’t pay the extra price to go to the upper deck, it’s exactly the same view you get at the lower deck (only 50m difference), no difference at all except the price.You have a nice 360° view of the city but that’s pretty much it, crowded with groups and kids running around.For the price there is so much more interesting to do and see in Tokyo than this, save your money !!

For those seeking a stunning 360-degree perspective of Tokyo City up to Mount Fuji, Tokyo Skytree is the place to be, especially in a clear sky day. Just be aware that the attraction tends to draw a significant number of tourists, leading to notable crowds. The day I visited in Nov 2023 it was full with foreign tourists. So plan accordingly, as you may encounter extended queues and wait times during your visit.

Worth a visit on a clear day! We could easily buy tickets on klook and saved 200yen per adult and only bought the tickets just an hour before we went up. Kids had fun up there too! Need to buy tickets above the age of 6.Efficient and no lines at the entrance. You can buy at the door immediately even at 6pm (weekday)Stunning view at night. We didn't try during the day. We paid extra to go higher to 450m. It's not a mustThe view was good enough from the 350m actually. Possibly better? There is a little cafe and toilet facilities on each floor. Although it was busy at the top, it didn't affect the view at all. Don't miss the area where we can stand on the glass floor. Souvenir shop is cute too!

Visiting Tokyo Skytree was an absolute delight! Compared to Tokyo Tower, I found Tokyo Skytree to be superior in terms of both view and facilities. However, Tokyo Tower has its own unique charm that shouldn't be overlooked.If I had to pick just one, Tokyo Skytree would win hands down, especially for its breathtaking nighttime views of Tokyo city. The experience was truly unforgettable, making Tokyo Skytree a must-visit attraction in Tokyo!

Amazing 360 views of the entire city. You’ll get a different experience depending on the time of day you go. May get a bit crowded but for the most part easy to walk around and take some great pictures. Easy to purchase tickets right on site, nice souvenir shop inside and located next to the mall. Great place to visit while in Tokyo.

There are many Skytree and Towers across the Japan. This one is one of them. We visited around late afternoon. It was still crowded due to Weekend. There is almost nil waiting despite of heavy crowd. We didn’t go all the way top and took the tickets for 65th floor, reached there in super quick elevator. Very well management, you can enjoy the beautiful view of the city, you can also enjoy night view since it gets dark early during the winter. We enjoyed the sunset and Fuji San view from the top. Good experience.

Typical tourist attraction. You can really see how big Tokyo is from the observation deck. I like that the 4 elevators are decorated for each season. Purchased same day tickets for the last available time 7:30 p.m. or 19:30 p.m. and it was packed. Plus it was super hot in there because of the amount of people. Only had about 30 seconds on the glass floor.

Visited the Tokyo Skytree as part of a package tour organized by Japan Panoramic Tours. The best part of the tour was that we could go straight up without any wait, when there were endless long queue otherwise. If you are visiting independently be prepared to wait in queue 1 to 2 hours. Visited the Tembo deck floor 350 meter, then 345 and 340, which has the glass floor. There are a lot of restaurants and shopping options at the Skytree. The 360 degree view of the Tokyo city was nice. I guess it would be better in the evenings to see the city lights. But if someone is not able to visit it, don't worry, you are not missing much.

Unique experience with a marvelous view! Strongly recommended to visit at 8am, since it is less crowded and you don’t have to line up for the lifts.There are several ticket options for the same day and a following day, for 350m and 450m. A saving option is to book a ticket in advance and visit only the first station 345m. The second station of 450m is amazing and is less crowded but not necessarily a must!If you are lucky and the weather is sunny and clear, you can see the Fuji mountain from the first and second station.On all the stations have a photo spot with an opportunity to take a picture with the great view on the background.On the first station there is a cafe shop, with cakes, toasts and hot/cold drinks.

First time visiting Tokyo Skytree and wasn't disappointed. Buying tickets in advance is essential as you skip a lot of the line and save some time. We got tickets for both the 350m and the 450m observation decks.Apart from all the ticket buying and trying to work out where to go ( as this seems to be the norm for all Japan), once stepping out the lift on the 350m deck the view is breathtaking and scary at the same time. It's quite surreal being that high almost 2000 feet and going close to the window gave me a little vertigo.After a while it's not scary but absolutely beautiful. You can see almost all of Tokyo and if the weather was a little more clear I'm sure I could see Mt Fuji.Overall a must see when visiting Tokyo and I'd like to go at night as it would be a whole different experience.

Love Observation decks, the higher the better!Missed out on the skytree on my last visit so super happy I made it this time.Booked tickets online and staff were great at navigating so many people while remaining friendly and professional.The views were outstanding and worth going to the highest level.Got a few shots of Fuji too!There was also panorama shots with labels as to what was in the direction you're looking which is cool!It was mind blowing and could have spent all morning here.

Wonderful views of the entire region. If you plan to come for sunset pictures, arrive a little early as it gets crowded and people will set up at the best windows with phones propped up on the ledge. This is especially true if you're not tall as I saw a few folks that couldn't see at all. If you purchase the upper level, there is a spiral ramp you go up on, many people stop here, but it continues up to a better viewing area above.

Visiting Tokyo Skytree was an incredible experience. The stunning views overlooking Tokyo from the observation decks are absolutely breathtaking and offer a unique perspective of the city's vastness and beauty. The service at Tokyo Skytree was excellent; the staff were very pleasant and helpful, making the visit even more enjoyable. We purchased our tickets on-site, and the wait time was minimal, allowing us to start our adventure without delay. You can also have a bite from the locals outside. Overall, it was a memorable experience and a must-visit for anyone in Tokyo.

It is a magnificent structure. The elevators are very fast so get ready to feel the pressure in your ears. It is very well organised when you enter and the queue goes relatively fast despite all the crowds. You will have 360 degrees view of greater Tokyo are. The views are breathtaking. There is a restaurant up top. We had lunch there but you need a prior reservation. There is a cafe as well without any need to reserve. I recommend going up there

One of the tallest structures in the world.You can go to two different platforms the higher one costing slightly more. I definitely recommend the combo ticket.Waiting for the elevators was not too bad at 2:30 on a Thursday but would expect it to be incredibly busy at the weekends.All the staff were friendly and helpful.The shop had a number of souvenirs.There is a cafe but this will need booking in advance.Oh, and there is the view. On a good day you can see parts of Yokohama and if you are lucky, Mount Fuji is visible too.Would recommend buying tickets in advance but you will need to specify a date and a time for your visit.One of the best places to spend a couple of hours in Tokyo.

The view is really great.If you want to enjoy a beautiful view of the sunset. This is a really good place.Good for dates as it becomes a bit romantic as the sun goes down.A bit overpriced but do take kitkat and chopsticks, they are really good.They click good pictures and print it and sell it to us.

The Tokyo Skytree (東京スカイツリー) stands as a testament to modern engineering and cultural significance in Japan. It is a nice place to visit with a great view of Tokyo. If you are lucky u can spot the Mount Fuji there. The waiting time is quite long but you can purchase the ticket earlier. It is simply a good view

The effort to build this tallest observation deck is to be praised.Big crowd even on a weekday. Crowd management is excellent.Even though you buy tickets online and hot the online voucher, you still line up to get physical tickets. It doesn't take long though.Go to the entrance 5-10 minutes before the time slot you pick.

Tokyo Skytree is a must-visit landmark! The views are absolutely breathtaking. The structure itself is an architectural marvel, seamlessly blending modern design with traditional Japanese aesthetics.Don't miss the chance to explore the surrounding area, particularly the Solamachi shopping complex, which offers a variety of unique stores and eateries. Overall, Tokyo Skytree is a highlight of any trip to Tokyo, providing unforgettable views and a rich cultural experience.

This is a great place you definitely don’t want to miss when you visit Japan. Very amazing & spectacular landscapes. Lower floors have a lot of restaurants and entertainment options including a Pokemon store your kids will be enjoying so much. If your time is limited, advance tickets are really recommended as it is always crowded in ticketing lines.

The place is good for shopping cute things for children and kids at heart. The place has an amazing view up there. We had our photos taken for a souvenir. We got a cute stamp for the brochure and we contributed to the growing tree of cherry blossoms all over the world. It was a wonderful experience.

The view is magnificent and spectacular. Especially at night, you have an incredible view of the city..It gets pretty crowded, so make sure you buy your tickets online in advance. You had to wait a long time at the elevator to get to the top..I would still recommend it if you are in Tokyo.

We enjoyed our experience so much at the skytree. Buying your tickets in advance proved to be cheaper and more convenient. I recommend going up just before sunset, so you can see the view in the daylight and dark. We spent a few hours up there wandering around and exploring. I didn't find it too crowded when compared to other places in Toyko. You can see the entire skyline and even Fuji on a clear day. We did some research and did this instead of Tokyo tower - no regrets there.

Very busy, but this is totally worth it. Buy your tickets in advance, and it makes it easier to ensure you will get inside. It's a very jammed pack, and you will go in large groups up the elevator. You will start out on the medium floor, and if you buy the higher floor tickets, there is another elevator to take you to the compete top. Beautiful views, we went at night to see all the lights of the city. Im sure it's just as beautiful to see it in the daytime as well. There are tons of beautiful photo opportunities as well.There are photo opportunities to take photos on a glass floor! They have a souvenir coin machine that you can get engraved for free later and two separate gift shops to explore. It's totally worth the visit. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity, and we loved every second of it. We are so happy we are going to be a part of this.

You need to get tickets for this beforehand or you will be waiting around. There is plenty to do while you wait, if you are into shopping around. It is difficult to get good pictures or videos because of all of the window panes and not being able to get right up against the glass in a lot of places. There are tons of people here. Still worth it to go up to the 450 m.

Booked in advance, very cool views. Quite busy even on a weekday. Would definitely recommend getting tickets to the upper floor. The only real downside was the slightly dirty windows but I wouldn't want to go out and clean them either....

Very cool to be so high up and the views are great. You can go to the 350m floor or pay a bit extra for both the 350m and 450m floors. The wait time is virtually nothing despite so many people however it gets very crowded and if you are unlucky like me you get some inconsiderate people who don't care that there are other slack-jawed tourists behind them waiting to take photos. The worst part is that the highest point should have the best view as it faces central Tokyo with Tokyo Tower and Mt. Fuji in the distance but if you see my pics there is a huge light behind you which reflects off the glass and totally ruins the view! I don't know if i would say it's worth it to go to the top floor or if it is suitable for night views.
