If you come to Tokyo, Skytree and Asakusa are must-visit spots.
The destination is Oshiage Station. From Oshiage Station (Skytree), take Exit B3 or Exit A2 to enter Tokyo Solamachi, a commercial building.
Go up to the 4th floor of the building, and you will arrive at the entrance of the Skytree. From there, you can purchase a ticket to go to the observation deck.
Tokyo Skytree is recognized by the Guinness World Records as the tallest tower in the world. You can get a panoramic view of the Kanto Plain from a height of 450 meters.
If you're not shopping, the Skytree tour will take about two hours.
Families with children can also visit the Sumida Aquarium next to the Skytree.
Sumida Aquarium is like a park where you can meet various creatures in a relaxing atmosphere.
It's a bit different from a traditional aquarium. You can sit on a bench in front of the tanks and feel the gentle waves of water, or chat in a café while watching the animals. It offers a free and flexible way to enjoy the experience, like a park.
You can walk from Skytree to Asakusa in about 15 minutes.
It is recommended to stop by a restaurant along the way for lunch.
Sensoji Temple, established in 645, is the oldest Buddhist temple in Tokyo. It is one of Japan's most famous tourist spots, attracting many visitors from both Japan and abroad.
Nakamise Shopping Street stretches about 250 meters from Kaminarimon Gate to Sensoji Temple.
You can take a boat from Asakusa to Odaiba.
Be sure to check the water bus timetable in advance and purchase your ticket early to ensure you catch the boat.
If you miss it, don't worry! You can also take the train to Odaiba-Kaihinkoen Station.
