Tokyo Skytree is the world's tallest free-standing radio tower with a height of 634 meters, and you can easily spend a whole day in the area around it. It is located just 15 minutes on foot from the popular sightseeing spot of Asakusa. From Asakusa, take the Sumida River Walk and cross the Sumida River while enjoying the fantastic views of the waterfront and trains going past right before your eyes, and arrive at Tokyo Mizumachi. Unique cafes and restaurants, sporting facilities, and hotels line the streets next to the park. Moving ahead while taking in the nature and attractive storefronts, you will arrive at Tokyo Skytree Town, comprising of Tokyo Skytree (observation deck) and Tokyo Solamachi (a commercial facility). There are over 300 shops featuring Japanese cuisine, activities, and popular character shops, just to name a few. From the observation deck, you can also enjoy the spectacular views spreading out below you.
