Japan Observation Decks and Tower Tickets

Observation decks are the one attraction where the time of day changes the product. Sunset slots cost more and sell out first; mid-morning is cheapest and emptiest. Several of the tickets below are combos that pair a deck with a subway pass or a second attraction, which is usually cheaper than buying the two separately.

Frequently asked questions

Which Tokyo deck is worth it, Skytree or Tokyo Tower?

Skytree is far higher and sees further on a clear day. Tokyo Tower is lower but puts the city skyline in the frame rather than under you, and it is cheaper. Neither is a wrong answer.

Do I have to pick a time slot?

Most deck tickets are timed entry. Sunset windows are the first to sell out, so if that is what you want, book several days ahead.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Decks stay open in rain and refunds are not usually given for poor visibility. If the forecast is bad, buy a flexible-date ticket where one is offered.
