Tokyo Skytree and Oshiage: New Symbol Born in Downtown Tokyo
World's Tallest Broadcast Tower
Tokyo Skytree is the world's tallest broadcast tower at 634m (musashi), opened in 2012. On clear days, views from the first observation deck (350m) and second observation deck "Tembo Galleria" (450m) extend to Mt. Fuji, Mt. Tsukuba, and the Boso Peninsula.
Shopping at Soramachi
"Tokyo Soramachi" in the Tokyo Skytree Town complex is a large shopping facility with 313 stores. Diverse shops from Tokyo souvenirs to latest fashion are available, with food stalls for snacking too.
Tourist Course with Asakusa and Sumida River Park
Asakusa Temple, Nakamise shopping street, and Sumida Park are within walking distance from Tokyo Skytree, and routes enjoying downtown culture and sightseeing in one day are popular. Combining Asakusa rickshaw experience with Skytree observation is a classic Edo-and-modern Tokyo journey.
