The tallest free-standing broadcast tower in the world has an observation deck ringed all the way around with tall glass. The deck's lowest level has a panel of glass set into the floor, and you can stand on it and look straight down. A postbox inside the tower adds a commemorative stamp to whatever is posted. Above the deck, a glass corridor ramps upward to the highest point open to visitors.

| Stroller friendly | Yes | There is a stroller parking area on the fourth floor. Inside the observation deck a priority elevator for wheelchairs and strollers links floors 350, 345 and 340; its doorway is 1,000 mm wide and 2,200 mm high, and the car is 1,600 mm wide, 1,500 mm deep and 2,400 mm high | Web-checked | checked Aug ’26 | tokyo-skytree.jptokyo-skytree.jptokyo-skytree.jp |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diaper changing table | Yes | The baby care rooms are for nappy changes and feeding. The official floor guide lists two of them: in the group east lobby on the first floor, and inside the main entrance on the fourth floor. Whether the men's restrooms have a changing table is not stated on the official site | Web-checked | checked Aug ’26 | tokyo-skytree.jptokyo-skytree.jp |
| Nursing space | Yes (2) | The official floor guide puts the baby care rooms in two places: the group east lobby on the first floor, and inside the main entrance on the fourth floor. The official FAQ describes the same facility differently, saying a room is available inside the observation area, so the two official pages word the location in different ways. If you think you will need one while you are on the upper floors, ask a member of staff where to go | Web-checked | checked Aug ’26 | tokyo-skytree.jptokyo-skytree.jp |
| Indoor / outdoor | 屋内 | Indoors. The 350 m deck is a floor ringed by glass panels over 5 m tall, set through the full 360 degrees, and the 450 m galleria is a tube-shaped corridor walled in glass | Web-checked | checked Aug ’26 | tokyo-skytree.jp |
| Family restroom | Yes (12) | Twelve multi-purpose restrooms, described by the official site as restrooms that wheelchair users and anyone who needs more space can use, with ostomate fittings among the equipment. Four of the twelve are up in the observation area, on floors 340, 345, 350 and 450. Whether they contain a baby seat or a changing table is not stated on the official site | Web-checked | checked Aug ’26 | tokyo-skytree.jp |
| English support | 英語メニュー・表示 | Leaflets come in two versions: Japanese, and a multilingual one covering English, simplified and traditional Chinese and Korean. The official site does not say that staff speak English. On sign language it says some staff can help but that none are permanently on duty | Web-checked | checked Aug ’26 | tokyo-skytree.jp |
| Outside food allowed | No | The only thing you may bring in is bottled drinks with a cap. Drinks without a sealable lid and cup drinks are on the list of items that cannot be brought in, and eating or drinking anywhere other than the designated places is not allowed. There are no vending machines inside the observation area | Web-checked | checked Aug ’26 | tokyo-skytree.jptokyo-skytree.jp |
| Elevator | Yes | Four elevators run from the ground to the 350 m deck at 600 m a minute, about 50 seconds, and two more from the deck to the 450 m galleria at 240 m a minute, about 30 seconds. Inside the deck there is also a priority elevator for wheelchairs and strollers | Web-checked | checked Aug ’26 | tokyo-skytree.jptokyo-skytree.jp |
| Stroller rental | Yes | Strollers can be borrowed, but numbers are limited — you ask staff on the day. The official site does not state the charge, the ages the strollers suit, or whether they can be reserved in advance | Web-checked | checked Aug ’26 | tokyo-skytree.jptokyo-skytree.jp |
| Steps & slope caution | バリアフリー | The 450 m galleria climbs as a ramp from floor 445 rather than by stairs, and the deck has a priority elevator for wheelchairs and strollers. The official site publishes illustrated barrier-free routes from the two nearest stations, and describes tactile paving, audio guidance and easy-to-use restrooms. One thing to plan for: for visitors who go up to the 450 m galleria, the way back that the official site describes runs from floor 450 by lift to floor 345, then by escalator to floor 340. With a stroller you can use the priority lift inside the deck, which links floors 350, 345 and 340 | Web-checked | checked Aug ’26 | tokyo-skytree.jptokyo-skytree.jptokyo-skytree.jptokyo-skytree.jp |

| Crowding (guide)Extra info — guide only | Yes | The official site publishes a crowding forecast by day of the week and hour. Weekday hours from 10:00 to 14:00 fall in the band the site marks as recommended, while 17:00 to 18:00 on Fridays, weekends and public holidays is the busiest. The site itself calls this a picture of past crowding at the decks and elevators, so read it as a guide | Web-checked | checked Aug ’26 | tokyo-skytree.jp |
| Stroller access notesExtra info — guide only | Yes | From Oshiage station the barrier-free route is to leave the ticket gates, turn left towards the elevator hall, and take the elevator up to the fourth floor. The official site shows a separate barrier-free route from the west exit of Tokyo Skytree station | Web-checked | checked Aug ’26 | tokyo-skytree.jp |

Basics
- Fee：Prices change by date: the official site writes each fare as a figure with 'and up' and asks you to check the price for your date on its web booking site. The ticket covering both the 350 m deck and the 450 m galleria is from ¥3,000 for adults (15 and over) and from ¥1,500 for children (6-14); the deck-only ticket is from ¥1,800 and from ¥900; the galleria-only ticket is a flat ¥1,400 and ¥700. The same page adds that the child fare applies up to junior high school age and the adult fare from high school age. Children of 5 and under, and pre-school children of 6 and under, go free. Buying at the fourth-floor ticket counter or machine adds ¥500 per ticket — except for the galleria-only ticket, which carries no counter fee. There is no age limit on the disability fare. Among the set tickets, the Morning View ticket (deck entry with a soft drink and food) is from ¥2,500 for adults and from ¥1,700 for children, and the SKYTREE Enjoy Pack is from ¥4,000 with entry to Sumida Aquarium and from ¥2,900 with the Tenku planetarium; the Enjoy Pack must be booked in advance and is not sold at the counter on the day■
- Hours：The usual pattern is 10:00-22:00 on weekdays, with no regular closing day. Last entry is one hour before closing. On weekends and in the summer and holiday periods it opens at 9:00 or 8:00, and some days stay open until 22:30 (from the official calendar covering the 93 days from 1 August to 1 November 2026). The official site notes that hours may change without notice and that entry times for group bookings differ, so check the official opening-hours calendar for the day you plan to go■
- Booking：The official site says neither that booking is required nor that you can simply turn up. There are several ways to buy: the official web ticket site, a Seven-Eleven ticket machine, and, on the day, the ticket counters and machines on the fourth floor. Buying at the counter adds ¥500 per ticket, though not for the 450 m galleria ticket, and the official site warns that on busy days ticket sales at the counter may be suspended — so buying ahead is the safer choice. To get in you need the QR code from your web purchase or the paper ticket from Seven-Eleven. The galleria ticket can be added only by people who already hold a deck ticket, at the machines on deck floor 350. Tickets that include the collaboration cafe cannot be changed to another date or time after purchase, and cannot be cancelled or refunded at the buyer's request. If bad weather stops you using a deck-and-galleria combo ticket, the date and time cannot be changed either — you cancel and buy again for the time you want■Official booking site ↗
