Best time to visit Tokyo Skytree

The best season to visit Tokyo Skytree is from November to February, when the skies are at their clearest and you’re more likely to spot Mt. Fuji from the observation decks. Spring is also a beautiful time, with cherry blossoms dotting the cityscape below.

For fewer crowds and the best experience, visit on a weekday morning around 10am, right when the tower opens. If you're chasing views with a bit of magic, go just before sunset to see Tokyo glow as day turns into night. Avoid weekends and public holidays when it gets especially busy.
