- โWebsite live cam โ check 'Tokyo Skytree Live Camera' before you commit
๐ฏWeekday 10:00 opening slot beats sunset for Fuji
Sunset is the busiest window (90-min queues) and east-facing Fuji sightlines wash out in low sun. For Fuji photos, go at opening on a dry November morning โ the deck is near-empty for 45 minutes.
Best time to visit
- โWeekday mornings 10:00-11:30 โ shortest queues, clearest air for Fuji
- โWeekday evenings 20:00-21:30 โ city-lights photography, 20-min queue typical
- โAvoid โ Sat/Sun 15:00-18:00 (2-hour waits), New Year's countdown
- โRainy days โ observation decks occasionally close at 450 m due to wind
