Sumida Aquarium has been bringing aquatic wonders to the Tokyo Skytree area since 2012. The aquarium is a two-floor housing complex for over 10,000 animals. With its artificial seawater system, the aquarium also reduces CO2 emissions in ways that most other aquariums do not. The aquarium centerpiece--a 350,000-liter tank--is the largest of its kind in Japan and is home to penguins and fur seals.

Tokyo Skytree

Tokyo Skytree

With a height of 634 meters, the Tokyo Skytree is Japan's tallest structure and a symbol of Tokyo. It is located in the northeastern part of Tokyo. The height of the tower is an allusion to both its current location and the history of the area: 634 is also a reading of the Japanese characters for "Musashi," the old name of the province in which the tower stands today. The Tokyo Skytree has two viewing platforms that offer spectacular views over Tokyo. The two closed decks are at heights of 350 and 450 meters respectively, making them the highest observation decks in Japan. The Tembo deck, the lower of the two decks, is 350 meters high and extends over three levels with great views from all floors. The higher Tembo Gallery (450 meters) consists of a sloping spiral-shaped ramp that increases in height as you go around the tower. You'll find many attractions inside the tower's observation decks, such as restaurants with skyline views and photo spots manned by staff. Attached to Skytree is an expansive shopping and sightseeing area called Solamachi. Filled with specialty shops ranging from salts to chopsticks, toys to t-shirts.
