Japan has Tokyo SKYTREE, the 2nd-highest building in the world, with 634m (2,080 ft) height following the highest building Burj Khalifa Tower in Dubai, UAE with 828m (2,722 ft.) Do you want to go to the top of the Sky Tree once? I usually see many people queuing up for going up on it, especially on weekends. But actually, international visitors can get the Fast Ticket which grants you admission by a shorter wait than the regular ticket.

Direction to the counter.

The location of the ticket counter is located at Tokyo Skytree 4th Floor West Entrance. If you cannot find that, please ask the information counters on each floor where English speakers stand by. You can purchase the ticket on the same day and in advance via Internet as well.

▽You can book e-tickets for skipping the line to Tokyo Skytree Observation Deck▽

Should I go up on it at night or day?

It is too difficult to answer the question since both of views are worth seeing. Just choose one following your itinerary!

Is there any other attractions?

Japanese souvenirs.

Of course, Yes! The shopping mall and commercial facility spread at the bottom of the Skytree. You can get a variety of Japanese souvenirs, have elegant Japanese foods, enjoy the aquarium and so on.

How about adding this attractive spot in your itinerary?
