An epic sight with an unrivalled view of Tokyo

As the second tallest tower in the world, the Skytree dominates the skyline of northern Tokyo. I luckily had great weather and went up an hour before sunset so I could see the city in the day and night time. I also booked tickets in advance and as an overseas visitor could take advantage of the fast-track option (paying a little more) to skip the very long regular queue. The architecture is fascinating and the elevator ride also very rapid. There are two levels and the second lift connecting them had a glass ceiling. Wonderful views over the Tokyo and for miles in all directions, the only slight disappointment was the Mt Fuji couldn't be seen due to cloud in that direction. All in all a must-do experience.

A iconic landmark
What a iconic landmark of Tokyo . First of I must say I have not been up in the tower , only seen it from outside and of course the best view for a photo is at a distance. During our time in Tokyo over the last week or so we have viewed it many times from different locations . When out walking it can be used as a focal point to where you are . A great construction.

City views - with a price tag
The Skytree is the tallest building in Tokyo providing superb views, particularly if the sky is clear. When the weather is cloudy, the top of the tower is often invisible from the ground and these days are best avoided when planning the Skytree visit. The ticket is rather expensive, though, and if you want to economize, you could try visiting the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building in Shinjuku instead. It is not nearly as tall as the Skytree, but it is completely free of charge and if the weather is good, you can still see even Mt. Fuji from there as well. We visited the Skytree around dusk which gave us the opportunity to see the city both in daylight and then dark, with all its lights shining.
