Visit Report: Tokyo Skytree East Tower Observatory Floor

Tokyo Solamachi is a commercial complex adjacent to Tokyo Skytree.

The restaurant floors on the 30th and 31st levels feature two free observation spaces.

The first is an observation space offering southwest views.

Beyond the large windows, Tokyo Skytree towers with overwhelming presence.

While there are many famous spots for viewing Tokyo Skytree, this observation space offers a uniquely close-up perspective.

Behind the Skytree, you can see high-rise building clusters in the Minato and Shinjuku Ward areas, creating an incredibly bright display of lights.

The second observation space offers northeast views.

While not as dramatic as the southwest side, the train views around Hikifune Station and the beautiful city lights along the gently curving Sumida River are truly stunning.

When visiting Tokyo Skytree's observation decks, Sumida Aquarium, or Tokyo Solamachi for sightseeing, be sure to stop by this spot.
