<p>A beautiful view from the tembo deck where you can see the vastness of the city of Tokyo and dream that you can fly like a bird. </p>

<p>The view from the front of the shopping mall under the Tokyo Skytree building! </p>

<p>These guys are the mascots of the Skytree and you can take photos with them; they're right in front of the entrance to the shopping mall. </p>

<p>Very close-up photo of the Skytree tower seen from near the entrance of the mall and looking straight up. </p>

<p>This awesome mural is inside the entrance before you go up the elevator and you can see different towers and their heights from all over the world. </p>

<p>This is the area where you have to line up to purchase the tickets to the first tembo deck; from there you can purchase the extra ticket to go to the higher deck. </p>

<p>This is the beautiful ceiling inside the building while you wait for the elevator to go up to the first viewing deck. </p>

<p>The elevator moves quite fast since you have to go up 350 meters of tower in about a minute or two. </p>

<p>Once upstairs you and your partner can touch the awesome heart display for Valentine's day and find out what type of love you both share. </p>

<p>There is quite an area on the viewing deck to see the city and you can walk around and find a great space to stand and take photos. </p>

<p>There's also an awesome touch display which shows the view from the Skytree both during daylight and also at night-time, it's a must-see. </p>

<p>The viewing deck has a couple of floors and stairs that you can go up and down on, and on the second floor under the main deck there's a coffee shop as well as some chairs and tables.</p>

<p>During the Valentine season you can also go and have your photo taken by the tower staff with an awesome background of the city and you can purchase the photo afterwards for ¥1300. </p>

<p>At this time there's also a display of Hello Kitty costumes chosen by people from different communities in Japan. It's interesting and also fun to see the different outfits that Hello Kitty is wearing. </p>

<p>On the lower of the three floors you can see the amazing and scary glass floor on which you can stand and look down at the city.</p>

Tokyo Skytree is an amazing architectural building which has a large shopping mall at its base with five floors chock-full of stores and restaurants. The tower has two viewing decks. The main deck has 3 different levels, from the top level you see a beautiful view, the middle level has a coffee shop and a souvenir shop. On the lower level you can stand and look down through the glass floor. When Valentine's Day is approaching you can check what type of love you and your partner share and also take a romantic photo with the city as a background.
