At 634 meters, Tokyo Skytree is the tallest tower in Japan, and on a clear day you can see Mount Fuji from the top. Here is which ticket to buy, what it costs, and how to avoid paying extra.
Quick answer
Most visitors only need the Tembo Deck ticket (Floor 350), from ¥1,800 for adults.
Want to go higher? The combo ticket adds the Tembo Galleria (Floor 450), from ¥3,000.
Buy online. Tickets bought at the 4th-floor counter or ticket machines cost ¥500 more per ticket.

How to buy and save money
- Online: the official ticket site sells date- and time-specified tickets. This is the easiest option and avoids the ¥500 on-site fee.
- Convenience stores: tickets are also sold at convenience stores in Japan.
- On the day: the 4th-floor ticket counter and ticket machines add ¥500 per ticket.
- Floor 450 later: if you are not sure, buy the Tembo Deck ticket first. You can add the Tembo Galleria at the machines inside on the day.

When to go
Tokyo Skytree publishes its own crowd forecast for the observation decks, by day and hour. Late afternoon into the evening is the busiest time, especially on weekends and holidays. The quietest slots are right after opening and the last hour before closing.
Tokyo Skytree: when it gets busy
Weekdays: From Monday to Thursday, the busiest time is 17:00 to 18:00. On Fridays, the forecast is busy from 16:00 to 19:00, much like a weekend evening. The quietest slots are 10:00 from Tuesday to Thursday and 21:00 from Monday to Thursday.
Weekends and holidays: Weekends and public holidays are busy from 15:00 to 19:00, and until 20:00 on Saturdays. Late morning to early afternoon is forecast as moderately busy. The quietest slot is 9:00, right after opening.
Simplified from the official TOKYO SKYTREE crowd forecast, which we checked in November 2026. It uses five levels, and we show the two busiest as busy. The forecast is based on past crowds and can differ during long holidays such as New Year and Golden Week, and during events. We did not visit ourselves.
- Clear mornings give the best chance of seeing Mt. Fuji, especially in winter.
- Sunset into night is the most popular time. Book ahead for weekends.
- Visibility changes with the weather. On cloudy days, the view can be limited.
Combine it with
Skytree is a short walk or one stop from Asakusa, so most visitors do both on the same day. Our 3-day itinerary puts them together on Day 1, with Ueno and Akihabara.
