Tokyo Skytree Family Trip 2025: Spectacular View of the Observation Deck and the Impression of Toy Story

A trip to the Tokyo Skytree was an exciting time to spend with my family: the spectacular view of Tokyo from the 634-meter observation deck, the Toy Story 30th anniversary event in 2025, the fresh local food, and the relaxing afterglow of the night view. All of these were moments where the future and dreams meet. Here are my recommendations for the best of what Tokyo Skytree has to offer, as my family and I discovered on this trip. The exhilarating view of the observatory, the bustle of Solamachi, the unique experiences for children, and the rest in comfortable accommodations. This trip will surely leave a deep aftertaste in your heart. Why not share a special bonding experience at the top of the Sky Tree with your family or loved ones?

Morning: Enjoy a panoramic view of Tokyo from the observation deck

Arriving at Oshiage Station in the morning, we first headed for the Tokyo Sky Tree Observation Deck. The 634-meter tower, which opened in 2012 as the world’s tallest radio tower, is about a 1-minute walk from Oshiage Station on the Tobu Skytree Line, and we ascended to the two-tiered observation deck of Tembo Deck (350 m) and Tembo Galleria (450 m), where the Tokyo cityscape unfolded under a clear autumn sky. The children were excited, saying, “It’s like being on a cloud! They were so excited. They were all smiles as they searched for the silhouette of Mt. The thrill of looking down on the transparent glass floor strengthened our family bond. While the night view is also attractive, the view of the soft morning light gently illuminating the city is exceptional. The observatory is a great place for families to get a sense of the future.

Admission is 2,700 yen for adults and 1,300 yen for elementary and junior high school students (as of 2025). The observatory is open from 8:00 to 22:00 (last admission at 21:00). Please check the official website ( Tokyo Sky Tree) for ticket reservations and weather information; in the fall of 2025, the contrast between the autumn leaves and the Sky Tree will be beautiful.

LUNCH: Bustling seafood and shopping at Solamachi

After getting off the observatory, we went to Solamachi, a shopping mall with over 300 stores at its foot, and chose the seafood bowl (2,000 yen) at the Sky Tree View Restaurant for lunch. The view of the tower from the window whetted my appetite, and the bowl of fresh tuna and shrimp was “like a jewel of the sea! and their eyes lit up. My husband added a glass of locally brewed sake and said, “This freshness is the charm of Tokyo. I, too, was impressed by the taste accented by the sourness of the pickled plums. After dinner, we went to the Toy Story store to look for 2025 30th anniversary goods and bought small figures for the family. the bustling Solamachi is the perfect place to relax after the observatory.

Hours are from 10:00 to 21:00 (depending on the store). During busy times, it is recommended to aim for weekdays. For more information, visit the official website ( Solamachi ).The 2025 Toy Story event is perfect for family fun.

Afternoon: Enter the World of Dreams at the Toy Story Event

After lunch, attend the Toy Story30thAnniversary in 2025 at the event space in Solamachi. Children can wear staff uniforms and have their picture taken with the panel at the special exhibit celebrating the 30th anniversary of the movie and the uniform experience (1,000 yen, 30 minutes required). The children wore staff uniforms and took pictures with the panels. They were overjoyed. I also enjoyed the heartwarming experience of searching for character figures with my family. My husband and I also enjoyed going around the booths selling limited-edition merchandise and looking back at famous scenes from the movie. This event stimulates the family’s creativity by combining the futuristic feel of the Skytree with dreams.

Night: Skytree Night View Rest at The Gate Hotel Tokyo by Hulic

With the excitement of the afternoon in mind, we checked in for the evening at The Gate Hotel Tokyo by Hulic, directly connected to Skytree and boasting spacious family-friendly rooms. The family room with a lounge with a view has a comfortable bed, and the children are happy to look out the window at the night view. The view of the Sky Tree lit up at dusk was a highlight of the trip. For dinner, we enjoyed a Japanese/Western buffet of local foods at the hotel restaurant. Fresh seafood and Tokyo’s famous tempura were a big hit with the kids, who were especially surprised by the plum-flavored desserts. At the breakfast buffet, freshly baked bread and fruit juices were impressive. The warm hospitality of the staff was also pleasant, and I was delighted to receive a map of Sky Tree as a gift for my children. The large public bath was very relaxing, and bathing in the evening made my body feel warm and fuzzy. The direct access to the hotel makes it convenient for exploring the surrounding area.
