Tokyo Skytree: 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. (checked 2026-08-08)

Tokyo Skytree: Diaper changing table?

Yes. The baby care rooms are for diaper 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. (checked 2026-08-08)

Tokyo Skytree: Nursing space?

Yes. 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. (checked 2026-08-08)

Tokyo Skytree: Indoor / outdoor?

Yes. 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. (checked 2026-08-08)

Tokyo Skytree: Family restroom?

Yes. 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. (checked 2026-08-08)

Tokyo Skytree: English support?

Yes. 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. (checked 2026-08-08)

Tokyo Skytree: 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. (checked 2026-08-08)

Tokyo Skytree: 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. (checked 2026-08-08)

Tokyo Skytree: 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. (checked 2026-08-08)

Tokyo Skytree: Steps & slope caution?

Yes. 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 elevator to floor 345, then by escalator to floor 340. With a stroller you can use the priority elevator inside the deck, which links floors 350, 345 and 340. (checked 2026-08-08)

Tokyo Skytree: Crowding (guide)?

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. (checked 2026-08-08)

Tokyo Skytree: Stroller access notes?

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. (checked 2026-08-08)

Tokyo Skytree

Save

At 634 meters, the tallest free-standing broadcast tower in the world.

High in this tower, part of the floor is glass to stand on.

MoreWhat kind of place

Tokyo Skytree opened in 2012 as a broadcasting tower, and at 634 meters (2,080 feet) it is the tallest free-standing broadcast tower in the world.

It stands on a triangular base about 68 meters (223 feet) to a side; three is the smallest number of legs that will hold something this size steady.

Four elevators run to the deck at 600 meters a minute, which puts you up there in about 50 seconds.

With kidsThe part that matters

The observation deck sits at 350 meters (1,150 feet), and two levels down, on Floor 340, a panel of glass 2 by 3 meters (about 7 by 10 feet) is set into the floor, so your child can stand on it and look straight down at the street.

It is covered by that same deck ticket, so there is no second one to buy.

The official floor guide puts both baby care rooms down in the entrance building, on the 1st and 4th floors, so a diaper change before you ride up saves you the trip back down, and if you are caught out up there, the FAQ does mention a room in the observatory, so ask a staff member where it is.

Strollers park on the 4th floor, and up top a priority elevator for wheelchairs and strollers runs between Floors 350, 345 and 340, so you can move between the deck's three levels without taking the escalator.

The official crowd forecast marks weekdays, roughly 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., as the quiet hours, so that is the window to aim at.

By age0-1 / 2-3 / 4-6

Ages 0-1The Tembo Deck at 350 meters is a floor ringed 360 degrees with glass over 5 meters tall, and the view changes with the direction you face, so a baby in your arms can be held right up to it. Floors 350, 345 and 340 are linked by the wheelchair and stroller priority elevator, so you can go around the observation deck still pushing the stroller.The Baby Care Rooms, used for diaper changes and nursing, are listed in the official floor guide in two places: the 1F group east lobby and inside the 4F main entrance. The official FAQ describes the same facility as a room provided inside the observation deck, so if you may need one higher up, ask a staff member where it is. Strollers can be borrowed but numbers are limited, so you ask a nearby staff member on the day. Once you enter you cannot re-enter, the only drink you may bring in is a capped plastic bottle, and there are no vending machines inside the observation deck. Infants aged 5 and under are free.
Ages 2-3On Floor 340 there is a glass floor, 2 by 3 meters, that a child can step onto to look straight down through the glass under their feet. It is included in the Tembo Deck admission. The elevator from the ground to the Tembo Deck runs at 600 meters a minute, so the ride up takes about 50 seconds.The tower itself writes that anyone uneasy with heights should not force it and should talk it over with the people they came with, so a child who does not want the glass floor can see the same view from the floors around it. The official congestion forecast marks weekdays 10:00 to 14:00 as recommended and Friday to Sunday and holidays 17:00 to 18:00 as the busiest. There is no re-entry, so use the toilet and change diapers before you go up. Preschoolers aged 6 and under are free.
Ages 4-6The Tembo Galleria at 450 meters is a tube-shaped glass corridor that slopes up from 445 to 450 meters. Being a slope rather than stairs, a child can walk it on their own feet all the way to the Sorakara Point, the highest spot at 451.2 meters. A letter posted in the Skytree Post at 345 meters is stamped with a commemorative postmark before it is delivered. On clear cold days or early mornings there is a good chance of seeing Mt. Fuji.A Tembo Galleria ticket can only be added by someone who already holds a Tembo Deck ticket, at the ticket machine on Tembo Deck Floor 350 (1,400 yen adult, 700 yen child). Buying at the 4F ticket counter or machines adds a 500 yen counter issuing fee per ticket (this does not apply to the Galleria ticket), and counter sales may be suspended on busy days, so buying online in advance is safer. Coming down from the Galleria, the official route is Floor 450, elevator, Floor 345, escalator, Floor 340; with a stroller you can use the priority elevator inside the Tembo Deck linking floors 350, 345 and 340. Preschoolers aged 6 and under are free, and ages 6 to 14 pay the child fare.

More notes (5)

Floor 340 has a glass panel set into the floor, 2 by 3 meters (about 7 by 10 feet), and the drop under your shoes is something you get only here. Tembo Deck admission covers it; there is no extra ticket. If heights are not your thing, there is no need to push it, and it is worth talking over with whoever you came with.source2026-08-08
The Tembo Galleria is a tube of glass that ramps upward from 445 to 450 meters, ending at Sorakara Point, the highest spot visitors can reach, at 451.2 meters (1,480 feet). The light and the glass along the way are staged to make you feel like you are floating, and to give a sense of the curve of the earth.source2026-08-08
Four elevators run from the ground to the Tembo Deck at 600 meters a minute, about 22 miles an hour, and the ride takes around 50 seconds. Two more carry on from the deck to the Galleria at 240 meters a minute, about 30 seconds. The deck holds roughly 2,000 people, the Galleria roughly 900.source2026-08-08
The Skytree Post stands on Floor 345, and anything you drop in gets a commemorative postmark before it goes on its way. The only official store inside the observatory, SKYTREE SHOP, is on the same floor. Depending on the season, the mailbox is sometimes moved off Floor 345 for a while.source2026-08-08

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 daysource 2
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 gosource 2
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 canceled 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 wantsource 2 3 Official booking site ↗
Note: once you have entered you cannot re-enter, the only drink you may bring in is a bottle with a cap, and there are no vending machines inside the observation areasource

Pricing moves with demand. The official site quotes every price as a from figure and tells you to check the web booking site for your date. The combined Tembo Deck and Tembo Galleria ticket starts at 3,000 yen for adults (15 and over) and 1,500 yen for children (6 to 14). The Deck alone starts at 1,800 yen and 900 yen; the Galleria alone is 1,400 yen and 700 yen.
