Tokyo is one destination where century-old temples stand alongside futuristic architecture, neighbourhood cafes share streets with Michelin-starred restaurants, and every turn seems to reveal something completely unexpected. It is easy to arrive with a list of places to see, completely prepared to experience as much of the city as possible. Yet some of Tokyo's most memorable days unfold not by racing across the city, but by planning a day around one central landmark that connects visitors to the many experiences found within and around it.

At the heart of such a day is Tokyo Skytree. Rising 634 meters above the historic Sumida district,the world's tallest free-standing radio tower. The tourist attraction and its surrounding neighbourhood bring together traditional temples, riverside promenades, vibrant shopping experiences, local eateries, family-friendly attractions and spectacular skyline views.
