A Taste of Home Beneath TOKYO SKYTREE

TOKYO SKYTREE in Tokyo's Sumida City is the most prominent landmark on the city's skyline. During the day, its massive structure soars into the clouds; when night falls, its lights illuminate the city, creating another captivating view.

In April 2023, we visited TOKYO SKYTREE and unexpectedly came across a familiar and welcoming Taiwan Festival. Red lanterns hung overhead, crowds bustled about, and all kinds of Taiwanese street food filled the streets of a foreign country. For a moment, although we were traveling in Japan, it felt as if we were back at a night market at home.

Compared with the strong local Japanese culture of Fukuoka's yatai food stalls, the Taiwan Festival beneath TOKYO SKYTREE offered a different kind of cross-border exchange. Taiwan's warmth and Japan's orderliness came together naturally in this modern city—not in conflict, but in remarkable harmony.

As we gazed up at TOKYO SKYTREE and enjoyed the familiar flavors of home, the sounds of Japanese streets filled our ears while memories of Taiwanese night markets appeared before our eyes. Perhaps the most captivating part of travel is unexpectedly finding a familiar feeling in an unfamiliar city.

TOKYO SKYTREE is one of Tokyo's most iconic landmarks. Its soaring structure can be seen from far away and is very impressive. Looking up from the base of the tower really makes you feel especially small, and I was also amazed by the building's height and design.

This time, I went up to the observation deck and looked down over central Tokyo from high above. The densely packed buildings and roads seemed to stretch endlessly, and in good weather, you can even see far into the distance. Watching the sunset in the evening and then seeing the countless lights of Tokyo after nightfall was truly beautiful.

The high-speed elevator ride is very quick.

Visiting TOKYO SKYTREE left a very deep impression on me. After taking the high-speed elevator to the observation deck, the expansive view before me was breathtaking, with the entire Tokyo cityscape in sight. When the weather is clear, you can also see far into the distance. There are many shops and restaurants in TOKYO SKYTREE, so it was a lot of fun to browse while trying some local treats. I also bought a few souvenirs to remember this wonderful trip.

The night view from TOKYO SKYTREE is also very beautiful, but it felt a little stuffy inside the observation deck, so I still prefer Shibuya SKY because the view is more open. When I went, TOKYO SKYTREE was doing a Toy Story collaboration, and the entire observation deck was decorated with Toy Story displays. Super cute.

Standing beneath TOKYO SKYTREE for the first time, I couldn’t stop looking up. At 634 meters tall, it’s absolutely breathtaking! Take the elevator to the Tembo Deck, then continue up to the Tembo Galleria for sweeping views of Tokyo. On a clear day, you might even see Mount Fuji. It’s totally worth it and definitely a must-visit.

Don’t rush off afterward! Tokyo Solamachi downstairs is fantastic for shopping, dining, souvenirs, and clothes. You can also visit Sumida Aquarium and the planetarium. Whether you’re traveling as a couple, with family, or with friends, you could easily spend half a day or even a full day here. You won’t want to leave!

Standing right underneath TOKYO SKYTREE and looking up is a totally different kind of awe! The steel structure is absolutely massive, stretching up into the sky, and the design feels really refined. It’s even more beautiful after it lights up at night. The glowing steel lines against the night sky look just like a futuristic building from a sci-fi movie.

Rather than going up to the observation deck for the night view, I actually found it more moving to stand below or go to a nearby bridge and admire the tower’s lines and lighting. Every photo comes out amazing!

TOKYO SKYTREE has spectacular views. From the observation deck, you can take in the Tokyo cityscape, and it has a different charm during the day and at night.

There are also plenty of shops and dining options nearby, making it a popular Tokyo attraction that’s definitely worth visiting.

TOKYO SKYTREE is definitely one of Tokyo’s iconic attractions that you can’t miss. There are also lots of shops and great food here.

Want to take a TOKYO SKYTREE photo like mine without the crowds getting in the way? Here’s a little hidden photo spot: go to the stairs just a little uphill past the "Ghibli store." From this angle, you can get the whole tower in the shot and avoid most of the tourists, so it’s easy to capture your own perfect TOKYO SKYTREE photo!

I’ve been to TOKYO SKYTREE twice. How should I put it? I first found out about it because of a Detective Conan movie.

The first time I went, it was almost closing. I got two capsule toys, and I really loved them, but they’re gone now. The mall inside is also really fun to shop around!

The view outside is beautiful too, and the colors change. It’s definitely a must-visit photo spot for tourists~

The weather was great both times I went. Does “Skytree” mean a clear sky? Haha.
