With one of the best vistas of Tokyo cityscape, Tokyo Skytree is a popular spot for enjoying aerial views of our beloved city. For a limited time this winter, the lower observation deck is hosting exclusive geisha and sumo shows that are only available to 20 guests per session.
There are two separate plans: geisha dance at night and sumo wrestling at the break of dawn.
On November 26 and December 15, you can experience the enchanting world of geisha with the Night Plan. From 10pm to 12.30am, the observation deck will come alive with the mesmerising sounds of traditional shamisen music and the graceful dance of elegant geisha. There will be refreshments, and you will have a front-row view of the artistry, with a panorama of the glittering skyline in the background.
The plan also includes an interpreter to guide you through the performance and share insights on geisha culture. Furthermore, you’ll also get to create your own Edo Kiriko, a traditional Tokyo glass craft.
Early-risers on the other hand are in for a treat on November 27 and December 16. The action-packed Morning Plan starts at 5.15am (5.30am on Dec 16), where you can witness the raw power and ancient ritual of sumo wrestling. Imagine the thrill of watching these impressive athletes face off against the backdrop of the rising sun, as the city slowly awakens from slumber. The morning sumo plan comes with a breakfast bento box featuring dishes made with fresh ingredients sourced locally in Tokyo.
Prices start at ¥100,000 per person.
