TOKYO SKYTREE

No image

The Skytree Area is a relatively new sightseeing and commercial district developed around the magnificent Tokyo Skytree, located in Sumida Ward. Standing at 634 meters, Tokyo Skytree is the tallest structure in Japan and one of the tallest freestanding towers in the world. It serves as a primary television and radio broadcast site, but is also a major tourist attraction featuring two observation decks (at 350m and 450m) that offer breathtaking panoramic views of Tokyo, and even Mount Fuji on clear days. At the base of the tower lies "Tokyo Solamachi," a large shopping and entertainment complex with over 300 shops and restaurants offering fashion, souvenirs, groceries, and diverse dining options. It also houses the Sumida Aquarium and the Konica Minolta Planetarium "Tenku," providing ample choices for shopping and entertainment. The Skytree Area blends this modern landmark with the surrounding Shitamachi (old downtown) atmosphere that still lingers. In nearby neighborhoods like Oshiage and Narihirabashi, one can still sense the traditional residential vibe and find older shops and eateries. The Sumida River flows close by, allowing visitors to combine sightseeing with Asakusa or Ryogoku by taking a water bus to enjoy the riverside scenery and experience the blend of old and new Tokyo. Rejuvenated by the completion of the Skytree, this area attracts numerous domestic and international tourists and is a popular spot to witness Tokyo's modern architectural marvel, indulge in shopping and dining, and feel the contrast between new and old cultures.
