Visit the Tokyo Skytree
The Tokyo Skytree is the tallest tower in the world. It’s a broadcasting, restaurant and observation tower.
The Tokyo Skytree was opened to the public on May 22, 2012. The height of this tower is 634 meters (2,080 feet). Tokyo Skytree is a broadcasting, restaurant, and observation tower in Sumida, Tokyo. It is the tallest man-made structure in Japan and the second tallest tower in the world. The tower was completed on March 22nd 2012 after six years of construction. The idea for the building came from a proposal by Toshiaki Endo, a professor at Tokyo Metropolitan University. It was built to replace Tokyo Tower as a broadcasting tower, due to its outdated technology. Tokyo Skytree is an iconic landmark that can be seen from almost anywhere in Tokyo’s 23 wards and has become one of the most recognizable symbols of Japan.

Hakone is a small town in Kanagawa Prefecture, just south of Tokyo, which is famous for its onsen (hot springs). Mt. Fuji sits at an altitude of 3776 meters and it can be seen from many places in Japan’s Kanto region including Tokyo and Hakone. The best place to see Mt. Fuji from Tokyo would be Mount Takao which sits just west of the city center. Another good spot would be viewing it from the top floor of Roppongi Hills Mori Tower which is located near Roppongi Station in Minato Ward. If you are visiting Shinjuku, we recommend Mt. Takao.
