With a height of 634 metres, the Tokyo Skytree in the Sumida Ward is the tallest tower in the world. It is used for radio and television broadcast in the Kantō region and it also houses a sky restaurant and two cafes. The main draw of the Tokyo Skytree is of course its observation decks, where visitors can take in awe-inspiring panoramic views over Tokyo. This icon of Japan’s capital city is an attraction that is highly popular with travellers, and the wait to get a standard ticket to the Tembo Deck (350 metres) can be as long as an hour.
