Overview & History
Completed in 2012, Tokyo Skytree replaced Tokyo Tower as the region’s primary broadcasting facility. At 634 meters (2,080 feet), the numbers “6-3-4” can be read as “Mu-sa-shi,” the historic name of
the Tokyo region.
Beyond its function, it has become Tokyo’s premier tourist destination, blending futuristic architecture with
traditional Japanese beauty (“Sori” and “Mukuri” curves). Whether you’re here for the panoramic views, the
expansive Solamachi shopping center, or the cultural proximity to Asakusa, Skytree is an essential stop on any
2026 itinerary.
