At 634 meters, Tokyo Skytree is the tallest structure in Tokyo and one of the tallest structures in the world. Its design to resembles a five-story pagoda (a tiered religious tower commonly seen across Asia). But it actually serves a more modern purpose as a broadcast and communications tower.
There are two observation decks — one at 350 meters and the other at 450 meters. Both boast incredible views of the city, and you can even see Mt. Fuji on a clear day. The lower deck (Tembo Deck) also a bit of glass flooring — so brave souls can get a whole other view too. The tower itself is often illuminated for special occasions and holidays.
Something fun: You can also see Skytree from a go-kart tour of the area.
