Tokyo Skytree tickets: which deck, what it costs, and when to book
Buy Skytree tickets online: the counter adds 500 yen per ticket. Adults pay from 3,000 yen for both decks or 1,800 yen for the lower deck only, and prices change by date and time. Here is which ticket to pick, the cancellation rules, and how Skytree compares with Shibuya Sky.

The 30-second answer
Most visitors: buy the combo ticket (Tembo Deck, floor 350, plus Tembo Galleria, floor 450) online, from 3,000 yen for adults. Lower deck only starts at 1,800 yen.
Book online, not at the counter: the 4th-floor counter and ticket machines add 500 yen per ticket, and online tickets use a separate entry lane.
Cancel early or pay 20%: official online tickets cancel free until 31 days before your visit; from 30 days out the fee is 20%.

"From" prices are the lowest; Skytree prices online tickets by date and time. Buying at the 4th-floor ticket counter or ticket machines adds ¥500 per ticket. A rate for visitors with disabilities exists (see the official site). Online orders through the official seller (LINKTIVITY) or 7-Eleven take up to 8 people per order.
Opening hours
The facility usually opens 10:00-22:00. On some dates in October 2026 (for example October 17, 18 and 24) it closes at 20:30, so check the official calendar for your date before you pick a late slot. Re-entry is not allowed, and there is no fixed time limit once you are in.
When to book
Skytree slots are usually easier to get than Shibuya Sky's sunset slots, because the decks are large and indoor (guidance, not an official figure). Book online once your date is fixed: you get the separate entry lane and avoid the ¥500 counter fee. Because cancelling within 30 days costs 20%, wait to buy until you're fairly sure of the day, or book more than 31 days ahead and cancel free if plans change. For a clear-weather view, a morning slot gives the best chance of seeing Mt. Fuji (guidance, not an official figure).

- From 30 days before until your entry time: 20% fee.

Official site or GetYourGuide?
The official site is the default: official price, the advance-entry lane, and clear cancellation rules. GetYourGuide lists a Tokyo Skytree observation deck admission ticket; it can be handy if you already book your Tokyo activities there or prefer its cancellation terms. Compare the price and the cancellation line on the listing before buying.

Common questions
How much are Tokyo Skytree tickets?
On the official site on October 14, 2026, the combo ticket for both decks (floors 350 and 450) started at 3,000 yen for adults (15 and over) and 1,500 yen for ages 6-14. The Tembo Deck only (floor 350) started at 1,800 yen for adults and 900 yen for children. Prices vary by date and time, and children 5 and under are free.
Is it cheaper to buy Tokyo Skytree tickets online?
Yes. Skytree adds a 500-yen service fee per ticket if you buy at the 4th-floor ticket counter or the ticket machines. Online tickets also skip the ticket line and lock in your date and entry time.
Can I cancel Tokyo Skytree tickets?
For official online tickets (LINKTIVITY), cancellation is free up to 31 days before your visit and within 59 minutes of buying; from 30 days before until your entry time the fee is 20%; after your entry time you cannot cancel. You cannot change the date or time, so you cancel and rebuy.
Is Skytree or Shibuya Sky better?
They are different views. Skytree is far higher (floors 350 and 450, indoors behind glass). Shibuya Sky is an open-air rooftop over the Scramble Crossing, best at sunset. Many first-time visitors pick one: Skytree for height and Mt. Fuji on clear mornings, Shibuya Sky for the city-lights rooftop.
