Explore Tokyo Skytree

Your tour stops at Tokyo Skytree where you can marvel at the 634-meter-tall tower that was completed in 2012. The structure is the tallest self-supporting steel tower and broadcasting tower globally, standing taller than both the Eiffel Tower and the CN Tower. Inside, visitors can enjoy a variety of attractions such as the Tembo Galleria shopping mall and the Skytree Restaurant offering panoramic views from its observation decks. At 350 meters above ground level, the main deck provides stunning vistas over Tokyo's skyline, while the higher special observatory at 451 meters offers even more expansive views. The tower also houses a clock that chimes every hour with a unique melody composed by Japanese composer Taro Hakase in 2012. Unlike other observation towers, Tokyo Skytree integrates cultural elements like traditional Japanese design motifs and materials such as steel and wood to create a modern yet culturally resonant structure.

Visit Sensō-ji

Your tour takes you to Sensō-ji, one of the oldest and most significant Buddhist temples in Japan. Established in 628 AD during the Asuka period by two fishermen who caught a statue of Kannon, the bodhisattva of compassion, in nearby Sumida River, the temple complex covers an area of approximately 3 hectares. The main hall houses the Kannon statue and is known for its intricate carvings and ornate decorations, including gold leaf on the ceiling and walls. Visitors can also explore other notable structures within the complex such as the Asakusa Shrine dedicated to Benzaiten, goddess of good fortune and prosperity, and Nakamise Shopping Street leading up to the temple entrance where vendors sell traditional snacks like senbei (rice crackers) and souvenirs. Unlike many modern temples that have been rebuilt or reconstructed over time due to natural disasters or war damage, Sensō-ji has maintained its historical integrity through careful preservation efforts since its founding.
