Well, it’s the tallest tower in Tokyo with a cool observation deck. The lifts are uniquely decorated, there is a cafe restaurant on the top (reasonably priced). If my 1 yr old wasn’t having a meltdown, I’d love to sit there for hrs enjoying the view and a drink or two 🗼

Picturesque location to have view. There is a studio ghibli merchandise shops at the top too 🫰🏽

We dont do many observation decks but since this one is the tallest tower and highest deck, we simply had to and we do not regret!If you needed a sign to book it, this is it. And they give you free pictures of you as a gift!
5/5
This is my second visit to Tokyo Skytree. This time, I brought my family on a self-guided trip and bought tickets for the observation deck (350m) and the Tenmo Corridor (450m). The view was better and more beautiful, making it worth the price.

5/5
Tokyo Tower is one of Tokyo's most recognizable landmarks, and it's much more impressive in person than in photos 🗼✨
The tower itself looks very unusual against the backdrop of the modern city: a slightly retro style, a bright red and white frame, and the feeling that it's a symbol of old Tokyo, carefully integrated into the ultra-modern metropolis. As you approach it, you sense its scale and recognizability—it's hard to confuse it with anything else.
Inside, everything is organized like a full-fledged tourist route. There are observation levels, glass floor sections, and souvenir areas. But the main focus of the visit, of course, is the views from above 🌆
The lower observation deck offers a good view of the city, but the real "wow" factor comes higher up—where Tokyo unfolds in all directions to the horizon. On a clear day, you can even see Mount Fuji 🗻, making the moment especially memorable.
🔴 Important: access to the upper level is strictly limited.
4/5
Consider the weather we had encountered before we came to this site, I think it is worth the money spent.
5/5
I purchased tickets for the 150m and 250m observation decks. Upon ascending to the special observation deck, I was greeted with a free photo service and welcome drinks. My initial skepticism about the high price was overshadowed by the realization that this was why it was expensive. Personally, I think Tokyo Tower is more worthwhile than the Skytree.
5/5
I recommend everyone to look at this beauty 😍

The setting sun bathed everyone's faces in a warm red glow. No one cared about others' opinions; everyone was focused on the joy of the moment. When they got tired of dancing, they would simply sit down on the steps by the roadside. Strangers would offer them a cold drink and share their happiness with gestures and simple words. The music never stopped, and the laughter never ceased until night fell. The colorful lights hanging in the square lit up one by one, their vibrant glow illuminating everyone's smiling faces. Looking at the enthusiastic people around me, my heart was filled with emotion. The most unforgettable part of this trip was this unreserved enthusiasm, which allowed me to experience the simplest and purest joy in a foreign land.
5/5
Music drifted across the square on the wind, and people in brightly colored clothes formed a large circle, swaying their bodies to the rhythm. The air was filled with enthusiastic cheers. Street vendors displayed colorful trinkets and snacks, their aromas mingling with the joyful atmosphere. I stood outside the circle watching them dance, and was quickly pulled into the group by enthusiastic locals. They didn't care if you were skilled at the steps; they just led you to sway to the rhythm. Everyone around me wore the brightest smiles. People of different skin colors and languages were connected by music, without any sense of distance or unfamiliarity, only a burning passion in the air. A band nearby played cheerful melodies, the accordion sounding crisp and beautiful. Several young people raised their glasses, dancing and laughing. Passersby joined in, and the group grew longer and longer, the laughter louder and louder. I swayed to the rhythm, forgetting all my worries and inhibitions. The wind carried the sweet scent of fruit juice and the aroma of grilled meat.

Late at night, the ancient town's stone-paved streets are almost deserted, except for the old noodle shops at the end of the alleys, their warm yellow lights still shining. Pushing open the door, the wooden bell jingles. Order a bowl of the town's unique braised pork noodles. The braised pork has been simmering in the broth all day; the fatty parts melt in your mouth, and the lean parts are tender and flavorful. Thin noodles soak in the delicious broth, sprinkled with a handful of bright green garlic leaves, and served with a side of sweet and sour garlic pickled in the town's traditional sauce—the sweet, sour, and crisp flavor perfectly cuts through the richness of the noodles. After the meal, stroll slowly along the empty stone-paved streets of the ancient town. Red lanterns along the roadside cast a warm glow in the night, the river flowed slowly along the ancient town's waterways, and the distant stone bridges reflected blurry images under the lights. Occasionally, a late-returning cat would leap down from the wall and silently disappear into the depths of the alleyways. There were no bustling crowds or commercial performances during the day; every bite of hot noodles carried the unique gentleness of the ancient town at night, and every lamplight shimmering on the water was enveloped in undisturbed tranquility, slowly spreading warmth throughout the ancient town in the dead of night.

Where the sea of clouds surges, the heart yearns for distant horizons. We are always searching for meaning, yet we forget that meaning lies hidden in every step we take. The world is so vast, every glance is worth seeing, letting the power of nature gently soothe all anxieties. Every step reveals a new scene, each a poem of heaven and earth. No need for perfect plans; a spontaneous trip is the coolest escape from the mundane. Mountains and rivers meet again, and every landscape becomes a dream. Stepping out, we discover that the world is more expansive than we imagined, and our worries become lighter in the vastness of nature. The most moving aspect of travel is never the scenery at the destination, but the feelings softened by the wind along the way. Having witnessed the vibrant life of different cities and traversed the soil of different mountains, you will find that your life has countless possibilities. Those obsessions that cannot be let go of in the cubicle may vanish after crossing a mountain or a river. Don't be trapped by the mundane present; there is poetry, wine, and countless beauties waiting to be discovered in the distance. Take that brave step, let the wind carry away all your unhappiness, and let the sunshine illuminate your heart again. This journey has no end, only the constant reunion with yourself.
5/5
The world is so vast, every glance is worthwhile to see – mountains and seas, letting the power of nature gently soothe all anxieties. We are often trapped by the trivialities of life, thinking that our current predicament is the whole world, until we witness firsthand the grandeur of mountains and the depths of the ocean, only then do we realize that our hearts can also be so expansive. Every step reveals a new scene, each a poem of nature. Stepping into nature is like going on a date with yourself. You can sit by the sea, watching the tides rise and fall, letting the sound of the waves wash away your inner restlessness; or you can climb a high mountain, where the clouds surge, your heart soars to the distance, feeling that sense of open-minded tranquility. Mountains and waters meet, and all scenery enters your dreams. Nature never urges you forward; it simply exists quietly, offering you a space to breathe with its vastness. Here, time slows down, steps become lighter, and those obstacles once thought insurmountable become insignificant in the grand scheme of things. Travel is not an escape, but a deeper return. When you return to your daily life, refreshed by sunshine and the scent of the wind, you will find that you have the courage and strength to face everything.

Travel teaches us to always maintain curiosity about the world. The farther we travel, the more we realize how little we know. Unseen landscapes, unexperienced lifestyles, and unfamiliar dialects and stories gradually broaden our horizons. You'll no longer be trapped in your own little world complaining; you'll understand that life has so many possibilities, and that everyone has a different way of living. This expanded perspective will subtly change your mindset, giving you more tolerance and love for everyday life.
5/5
Whenever I visit Tokyo and head over to the Ueno area, Ueno Park is a place I always come to stroll around. Aside from relaxing in nature, this park pretty much has everything
Cafes, restaurants, shrines,
museums, and a zoo.
The beauty here changes with every season, from the stunning cherry blossoms to the vibrant autumn leaves. If you love taking a relaxing walk, don't forget to add this place to your list.
5/5
It is a place I visit every time I come to Tokyo.
I go there primarily because there is so much to see around Ueno Station, but since I'm there anyway, I always make sure to look around the park. Whenever I feel suffocated in this massive city of Tokyo, I stop by to take a breather. There are also many museums and art-related places, so I recommend setting aside a full day to explore :)

The cherry blossoms were so beautiful when I took photos on February 27th! 😆 I recommend going in the morning or around noon.

I recently stayed at the Prince Park Tower Tokyo and found the room to be spacious with a fantastic view. Although the decor is a bit dated, the cleanliness was impressive, and the service was exceptional. The staff were incredibly friendly, which made my stay even more enjoyable.
If you're looking for a quiet and serene getaway in the bustling city of Tokyo, this hotel is definitely worth considering. The beds were comfortable, contributing to a restful experience.
One of the highlights of the hotel is its proximity to Tokyo Tower and a nearby temple, both offering great sightseeing opportunities. Additionally, the hotel is surrounded by a large, beautiful garden that adds to the tranquility of the area.
However, the location is somewhat isolated, with not much in the immediate vicinity. The only convenience store is a Lawson in the basement, which closes at 11 PM. There isn't a nearby 7-Eleven, and room service also ends before then, which can be a challenge for business travelers like me who often have to navigate time differences and late-night schedules.
On a positive note, the amenities offered are excellent, including quality skincare products and plush bath towels and robes. Overall, it’s a good hotel in a quieter area, perfect for those looking to unwind.FromSGD 287

As for the room, yes, it's small, but that's pretty standard for Tokyo. However, all the facilities are spotless and brand new, giving it a very tidy feel. I have to especially praise the bathroom; the hairdryer and showerhead are from the famous Japanese brand Refa. Plus, the complimentary amenities in the lobby are from Sekkisei.

Room and bed were very comfortable, immaculately clean and modern. 2 mins walk from train station, if you need lift access to train then a 6 mins walk, we had a stroller.
Breakfast was a bit of a zoo, we went during Christmas, very busy! But tables were spacious so even though there were so many people you don’t feel cramped. Good variety of food selection. We had dinner at the Japanese teppanyaki restaurant. Delicious, especially the tuna salad.
I found the lobby staff a little lack of personality, at check in, no mentioning of where breakfast will be, what time check out is. Just checked you in and that’s it, no personal notes in the room. When I expressed I’ve lost my phone at the shop in Tokyo, no sign of empathy (it was a western male staff) no gesture of helpfulness, very cold and robotic. This goes for concierge also, he is an older western gentleman, he needs to use Google translate also which is frustrating cause I could do exactly the same research with Google translate.
Overall, hardware is solid, need to fine tune the staff, sprinkle a little bit of personality in them.FromSGD 351

They even have an airport bus service that you can book online, which is a big plus.FromSGD 183

Shinagawa Tokyo|5.46km from city center
Right across from Shinagawa Station, this hotel is super convenient for getting anywhere as Shinagawa is one of Tokyo's major transportation hubs. There's a 7-Eleven on the 2nd floor of the hotel annex, though it gets so busy during peak hours that the staff look completely worn out. It's generally very convenient if you avoid the 7-9 PM rush. I was a bit disappointed that the ice machine on my floor was out of order during my stay. The breakfast buffet was absolutely delicious, with both Western and Japanese options, including cold udon, curry rice, gyudon, and freshly made onigiri.FromSGD 95

Wonderful hotel that goes above and beyond for families traveling with children. From the child amenity kits and pajamas for our toddler to the crib and diaper pail for our infant we felt that every need was met which made for a really comfortable trip. The 7eleven in the hotel was the icing on the cake! We also were able to utilize the Poppins onsite daycare although this is run independently and you should book well in advance of your trip as only 1 day that we requested was available for booking. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend.FromSGD 448

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi Tokyo|1.59km from city center
The room was spacious with a great view, and the service was excellent. The lobby is stunning, and the non-alcoholic drinks in the minibar are complimentary. They even left a small gift with turndown service every night. It truly lives up to the Aman standard. The only minor downsides were the breakfast, which wasn't very good and remained almost identical for all seven days of my stay, with no buffet and extra charges for additional items. Also, it seemed like they didn't empty the trash during room cleaning.FromSGD 2,163

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi Tokyo|1.42km from city center
Located on the Marunouchi side of Tokyo Station, this hotel, though not large, offers exceptionally warm and attentive service. Every staff member I encountered greeted me proactively. I arrived at 2:15 PM, before check-in time, and stored my luggage. After a quick stroll around the area, I returned to find my bags already neatly placed in my room. When I needed more water, the front desk delivered it to my room in an instant. The room itself was very quiet and well-equipped with all necessary amenities. For such a central location, the value for money is outstanding. The view from the window is excellent; during the day, the train tracks are busy with trains coming and going, while at night, the city lights are spectacular. I even saw a rainbow on the day I checked in – a lovely start to my stay.FromSGD 166

Shinagawa Tokyo|4.74km from city center
The hotel isn't right next to a subway station, but the shuttle bus service is super convenient, running every 15 minutes to and from Meguro Station. It pretty much covers all your transportation needs. It wasn't until after we checked out that we realized they'd upgraded our room type! It was definitely bigger, and we could easily spread out three 28-inch suitcases, which was really handy. The only downside was that the facilities felt a bit old. Even though it had been renovated, there was still an unpleasant smell from the sink drain in the bathroom.FromSGD 320

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi Tokyo|1.35km from city center
I really love this hotel and have stayed here multiple times. The location is excellent, right by the Marunouchi North Exit of Tokyo Station, just across the traffic light. It's also very close to the Imperial Palace, making it super convenient for shopping, dining, and sightseeing. This time, I noticed some changes: the twin beds were wider, and the 8th-floor breakfast is now entirely self-service.FromSGD 362

Shinjuku Area Tokyo|6.73km from city center
Excellent, very satisfied. The daily cleaning service is a rare find, and they offer a free shuttle to Disneyland (reservations required). The hotel rooms are spacious, and the airport shuttle drops you off right at the hotel entrance. I even got a room with a view of Mount Fuji!FromSGD 263

Ginza Tokyo|0.79km from city center
The hotel's location is just right, not too far nor too close to the subway, making it super convenient for visiting the Imperial Palace, Ginza, and Marunouchi. It's really pleasant to take a stroll from the hotel to all the nearby attractions, especially during cooler seasons.FromSGD 322

Ginza/Tsukiji Tokyo|0.31km from city center
Though small, this hotel has everything you need. Its Ginza location is incredibly convenient, perfect for shopping or quickly getting to Narita Airport via the expressway.
What truly impressed me is how many features are packed into such a compact space. They have a coin-operated laundry and a large public bath. The room, which I'd estimate at about 20 square meters, even managed to fit bunk beds (1.2m/1.5m), making it very family-friendly.
A minor point is that since the hotel is directly above the subway, you occasionally feel vibrations as trains pass. This led to a funny moment when an actual earthquake hit at night, and I initially thought it was just another train going by!FromSGD 104

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi Tokyo|1.84km from city center
The hotel's location was excellent, and the rooms were very spacious, exceeding my expectations. The hotel was immaculately clean, truly spotless. Each floor has six rooms that share a common lounge area. After each use, staff would come to clean it thoroughly, restoring it to its pristine condition, which was incredibly thoughtful. Every staff member at the hotel was extremely kind and friendly. I particularly loved the rooftop hot spring; after a soak, they even provided ice-cold milk, which was a lovely touch. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with my stay.FromSGD 798

Pros:
the duty manager Mai who is fluent in English and demonstrated outstanding attentiveness and a genuine dedication to hospitality. She took the time to truly understand my specific needs and thoughtfully arranged the perfect room for me.
To be quite honest, this level of personalized care and attention to detail is something rarely encountered in the hospitality industry nowadays. I was both deeply impressed and delightfully surprised by this experience.
Cons:
regarding the housekeeping service during my stay, While I appreciate that the bedsheets were changed diligently, the overall cleanliness and attention to detail have been highly disappointing.
Instead of clearing the room, the housekeeper consistently left trash behind after cleaning. Day1 The housekeeper actually stuffed a piece of paper waste into the room card slot. Day 2 The trash remained unclean.
Day 3 The housekeeper even left their own dirty cleaning towel right next to the bathroom sink. （see the picture)
As a guest, I expected a high standard of hygiene and professionalism, but these incidents have made my stay quite uncomfortable.FromSGD 137

Roppongi Tokyo|3.16km from city center
It was my first time staying in the Roppongi area, and the location is extremely convenient. The hotel is just a two-minute walk from the station, making it easy to get around Tokyo. The neighborhood is lively and well-connected, which is perfect for shopping and sightseeing.
Check-in is self-service, which was quick and efficient. Amenities such as toiletries are available on the lobby floor for guests to pick up, and there is also a vending machine on the floor for added convenience.
One downside was the cleanliness. I found a hair on the bed and a fruit seed on the floor, which was a bit disappointing and could definitely be improved.
The highlight of the stay was the massage chair inside the room — it was absolutely perfect after a long day of shopping and walking around Tokyo. It really made a difference in helping me relax and unwind.
On the second floor, there is a hotel restaurant as well as a well-known BBQ restaurant. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to try them during this trip, but it’s great to have dining options so close by.
Overall, a very convenient stay in a prime location, with the massage chair being a standout feature.FromSGD 84

Great location and nice facilities, Staff service was very nice too except a non-Japanese front desk staff who was a bit rude. The lounge was a great place to hang out and relax. Room is definitely on the small side without closet but bathroom is spacious. Welcome drinks are lovely, would be better if wine not served in a plastic cup.FromSGD 223
