Admission to Japan's tallest tower, and the deck ticket the partner actually sells.
- DurationValid 1 day
Tokyo Skytree admission starts at about $14 and is rated 4.6 from 15,515 reviews. It covers the Tembo Deck at 350 metres, with the Tembo Galleria at 450 metres as a paid option. It is on this site because the most common question a Shibuya Sky visitor asks is which of the two towers to choose, and Skytree is the one whose admission GetYourGuide sells directly. Skytree is far taller and entirely enclosed; Shibuya Sky is lower and open to the air. That difference, not the height, is what decides it for most people.

What the ticket covers
Standard admission is the Tembo Deck at 350 metres. The Tembo Galleria, a spiral skywalk at 450 metres, is a separate option selected at booking. There are also time-limited night and morning tickets that bundle a drink or a snack at the café on floor 350. Floor 340 has a glass floor section that looks straight down.
How it compares with Shibuya Sky
Skytree is 634 metres tall and its decks are glazed; Shibuya Sky's SKY STAGE is an open rooftop at 229 metres with no glass between you and the city. Skytree gives height and a guaranteed indoor visit in any weather. Shibuya Sky gives open air, the crossing directly below, and a rooftop that shuts when the weather turns. Price favours Skytree at $14 against $17 to $22.
Access and timing
Skytree sits above Tokyo Solamachi in Sumida, well east of Shibuya, so it is a deliberate trip rather than something folded into a Shibuya afternoon. The ticket is valid for the day rather than a half-hour slot, which makes it considerably easier to plan around than Shibuya Sky's timed entry.
Who should pick which
Choose Skytree for height, for certainty in poor weather, and for a lower price. Choose Shibuya Sky for the open roof and the view down onto the crossing. Visitors with time for both usually do Skytree by day and Shibuya Sky at sunset.

Who should not book this

- Anyone staying in west Tokyo with little time to travel east

Does Skytree close in bad weather?
Its decks are enclosed, so it stays open when Shibuya Sky's open-air rooftop closes.
