Modern,elegant, huge and tall. Surrounded by old,small, plain establishments and shops. Modern vs Old. But the people are nice and kind. Nice place to visit. More

Beautiful to see, especially lit up! (For a few weeks, they are alternating the light up every night. There are 2 versions, blue and purple) Couldn't get in as they were not open during my recent trip to Tokyo. I heard there is going to be a restaurant, but booking is already full for months ahead.

We first went to Asakusa to see the whole tower, then got off the train at skytree station at the foot of tokyo sky tree. It is not open to public yet but you can see it close. More

while it wont be done until april next year, the tower is complete and still worth the trip to see such a mammoth tower from the bottom. i would recommend walking over the bridge from asakusa, only 10-15 mins or so. More
