Tokyo-to Sumida-ku Oshiage - Tokyo Sky Tree Tembo Deck (340m-350m) & Tembo Galleria (445m-450m)
Tokyo Sky Tree is the second tallest freestanding structure in the world at 634 meter tall. It officially opened on 22 May 2012. I have taken many photos of Tokyo Sky Tree before (here, here and here), but this is the first time from within. There are 2 observation decks in Tokyo Sky Tree : Tembo Deck (3 floors at 340m/345m/350m, JPY 2500 admission fee) and Tembo Galleria (2 floors at 445m and 450m, connected by a spiral Galleria, another JPY 1000 admission fee) Model course is to take an elevator up to 350m floor, then take another elevator up to 445m floor, walk up the Galleria to 450m floor, take the elevator down to 345m floor, walk down to 340m floor, then take another elevator down. The nearest train station is Tokyo Sky Tree station of Tobu Isesaki Line and Oshiage station of Keisei Oshiage Line / Toei Subway Asakusa Line / Tokyo Metro Hanzoumon Line / Tobu Isesaki Line. | ||
