The Ultimate Tokyo Heights & Depths Experience

Experience the perfect fusion of futuristic architecture and natural wonder at Tokyo Skytree Town. This dual experience allows you to ascend 634 meters to the world's tallest freestanding broadcasting tower for unparalleled 360-degree views of the Kanto Plain, before or after immersing yourself in the artistic marine world of Sumida Aquarium. Located in the same Solamachi complex, this combination offers a diverse day out where you can witness the sprawling metropolis from the clouds and then relax by the ethereal jellyfish tanks and open-air penguin pools without ever leaving the building.

Highlight of our Tokyo trip!

We did the combo ticket and it was perfect. The views from the Skytree are insane—we could see all the way to Yokohama. The aquarium is smaller but stunningly designed. The jellyfish area is like an art installation.

Great views, crowded weekends

I recommend going on a weekday. The Skytree elevators are fast and smooth. Sumida Aquarium's penguin tank is unique because you can see them from above without glass. A bit pricey but worth it.

Beautiful at sunset

Booked the sunset slot for Skytree and it was magical seeing the city lights come on. The aquarium was a relaxing way to spend the afternoon before going up.

Digital tickets worked perfectly. Skipping the ticket line saved us at least 45 minutes. The aquarium is great for kids, very interactive.

Must-do in Tokyo

The architecture of the Skytree is mind-blowing. The Tembo Galleria (450m) feels like walking in the sky. The aquarium is a nice bonus right downstairs.

Good but busy

The views are great, but the line for the elevator to the 450m deck was long even with tickets. The aquarium is beautiful but small. Go early!

Technical marvel

As an engineer, the Skytree is fascinating. The damping system is explained well. The aquarium is very modern and clean. Highly recommended.

Lovely day out

We spent the whole day at Solamachi. Aquarium in the morning, lunch at the mall, then Skytree for sunset. A perfect itinerary.
