Shibuya Sky and Tokyo Skytree
Posted by Kiah on January 5, 2025 at 1:33 amHi everyone, could anyone comment on their experiences accessing Shibuya Sky or Tokyo Skytree in a wheelchair? Heard some of the areas are not permitted with wheelchair access.
TIA

Our experience with the Tokyo SkyTree was great. We found it to be quite wheelchair accessible/friendly and staff were fantastic in terms of awareness of a wheelchair user and helping to be sure the experience was top quality for this individual as well. We were fortunate that the weather was beautiful and clear and we were able to get our first look at Mount Fuji, having made this one of the first parts of our Tokyo visit. We were entertained by a number of very talented pianists while we visited as well.
I’m interesting. Do you know if it’s advisable to get tickect in advanced? How soon?
We did our travel through a guide and I can’t recall whether we purchased the tickets that day or whether our guide had purchased them in advance. My apologies for not remembering.
Hello we went to Tokyo skytree. No problem with wheelchair. For tickets, I dont remember a lot but we took them just before going. It was a very Nice view
As others have mentioned, Tokyo Skytree is very accessible and provides great views.
Shibuya Sky is also accessible with the exception of a few places on the roof that are raised like steps you can sit on. I went a few years ago and did a full walk around the perimeter in my wheelchair. The main route is an escalator to the roof but there is a secondary elevator as well.
