Skytree is modern and well-signed with elevator-first routing.

Elevator

Step-Free Routes

  • Oshiage (Skytree) Station → signed elevators → Solamachi → ticket area.
  • Tokyo Skytree Station (Tobu) → concourse lifts → Skytree Town.

Elevators & Services

  • Frequent, high-capacity lifts; staff assist during peaks.
  • Wheelchair rental on request (bring photo ID).
  • Accessible bathrooms available on multiple levels.

Sensory Considerations

  • Crowding peaks at sunset; mornings/late evenings are calmer.
  • Bring ear protection for elevator “whoosh” and crowd noise.
  • Identify a quiet corner before exploring the Deck.

Assistance Flow

  1. Inform staff at entry for guidance.
  2. Request elevator routing and seating areas.
  3. Ask about the least-crowded deck zones.
Assistance Dogs

Allowed in accordance with regulations; staff are trained and courteous.
