What's up there. A lift takes you from the 4th-floor entrance to Floor 350, the top of the Tembo Deck, which has a café and the ticket machines for the Tembo Galleria. Floor 345 has Sky Restaurant 634 and the SKYTREE SHOP, which sells goods you can only buy on the deck. Floor 340 has the 2m x 3m glass floor, another café and the lifts back down. The Tembo Galleria is reached by a separate lift, the Tembo Shuttle, from Floor 350 to Floor 445, where a glass-walled tube spirals up to Floor 450; the Sorakara Point at 451.2 metres is the highest point visitors can reach. Everything is indoors, behind glass.
The tickets. The official site lists three ways up. Adults are 15 and over (high-school age up); children are 6 to 14 (through junior high); children aged 5 and under, and 6-year-olds not yet at school, go free.
Combo ticket (Floors 350 and 450): from ¥3,000 adults, from ¥1,500 children. Covers both decks.
Tembo Deck (Floor 350): from ¥1,800 adults, from ¥900 children.
Tembo Galleria add-on (Floor 450): ¥1,400 adults, ¥700 children. Bought only at the ticket machines on Floor 350, and only if you already have a Tembo Deck ticket. It has no on-site fee, but sales can be suspended when the Galleria is at capacity.
Why 'from'? Skytree's ticket page gives starting prices and says the price for your visit date is shown on the official booking site, so expect to pay more on some dates. Check the price when you pick your date.
Online or at the counter? Online tickets are for a date and entry time you choose, from the official booking site or Seven-Eleven's Seven Ticket. Buying at the 4th-floor ticket counter or ticket machines adds ¥500 per ticket, and the official site says counter sales may be suspended on busy days. That's the 'same-day' option: it works on a quiet weekday, but online is cheaper and certain. Skytree's ticket and cancellation pages don't spell out how far ahead each date goes on sale, so check the booking calendar as soon as you know your date.
Changes and cancellations. You can't change the date, time or ticket type; you cancel and buy again. For tickets from the official booking site (LINKTIVITY), cancellation is free up to 31 days before your visit and costs 20% from 30 days before until your entry time; after that it's non-refundable. Cancelling within 59 minutes of buying is free. Cancel from your My Page, not by phone or email. If you're late, join the end of the queue as staff direct.
Combo and special tickets. The Morning View ticket (from ¥2,500 adults, ¥1,700 children) adds a soft drink and food, and the Night View ticket (from ¥2,400 adults) adds one alcoholic drink; their times vary by season. Enjoy Packs bundle deck entry with something else, from ¥2,350 with a 24-hour Tokyo Subway Ticket, from ¥4,000 with the Sumida Aquarium, from ¥2,900 with the Tenku planetarium in Solamachi, and from ¥7,100 with teamLab Planets. Enjoy Packs must be booked ahead; they aren't sold at the counter on the day.
Hours. The official calendar for November 2026 to January 2027 generally shows 10am to 10pm on weekdays and 9am to 10pm at weekends and on public holidays (23 November and 11 January included), with late nights to 10.30pm on 21 and 22 November and 29 to 31 December. Last entry is one hour before closing. On 1 January 2027 Skytree runs a ticketed sunrise session from 5.30am, sold by lottery (see our Tokyo in January guide), then opens normally from 8am; on 2 January it opens at 8am. Hours can change without notice, so check the calendar before you go.
On the day. Have one ticket per person ready. There's a bag check at the entrance. There's no time limit once you're up, though staff may move people along when it's crowded. Prams can be parked on the 4th floor, and a limited number can be borrowed. Free Wi-Fi (TOBU FREE Wi-Fi) works in the tower after registering an email address.
Accessibility. There are priority lifts, and wheelchairs can be borrowed free at 4F Information or the 1F group ticket counter (limited numbers, no advance booking). Accessible toilets with ostomate facilities are on several floors, and assistance dogs are welcome. Skytree has a disability rate for holders of Japanese disability certificates and the same number of carers; the official list names only Japanese documents, so ask at the counter if yours is from elsewhere.
Getting there. Skytree sits right over two stations. Tokyo Skytree Station is on the Tobu Skytree Line; Oshiage Station is on the Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line, the Toei Asakusa Line and the Keisei line. From the West Exit of Tokyo Skytree Station, the 4th-floor entrance is about 6 minutes' walk; from its East Exit, or from Oshiage, about 7 minutes. Follow the observation deck signs up to the 4th floor; there are lifts for step-free access. Official journey times: from Asakusa, about 3 minutes on the Tobu Skytree Line; from Ueno, the Ginza Line to Asakusa then the Tobu line; from Tokyo Station, the JR Sobu Rapid Line to Kinshicho then the Hanzomon Line to Oshiage (about 11 minutes on the trains); from Haneda, about 39 minutes, and from Narita about 49, direct to Oshiage.
