Tokyo Skytree 10:00
Adults from ¥3,100, senior high & junior high school students from ¥2,350, primary school students from ¥1,450
Tokyo Skytree is getting a Pokémon-themed makeover for summer. From now until September 24, the 634m-tall tower will be illuminated in colours inspired by popular Pokémon.
At one of its observation decks, the 450m-high Tembo Galleria, you’ll find photo spots featuring Captain Pikachu and friends. Avid fans will be delighted with the special Pokémon-themed menu at the lower observation deck’s Skytree Café. There’s a cute fruit parfait (¥1,400) with three ice cream flavours plus a Pokéball biscuit. And if you get the special kiwi-melon soda or the ginger mango soda with Pokémon illustrations (¥1,000 each), you can then order the mystery cupcake as a dessert set, which will come decorated with one of six Pokémon picks.
To make the most of your visit, be sure to stay until sundown and catch screenings of Pokémon anime. The evening shows are projected onto the observatory windows at the Skytree Round Theater. This will surely make the Tokyo skyline look even more mesmerising. Each screening runs for six minutes, with shows at 7.30pm, 8.15pm and 9pm daily.
