About Tokyo Skytree

Tokyo Skytree, completed on February 29, 2012, stands at 634 metres and is the world's tallest broadcasting tower. Finished two months late due to supply shortages from the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, the tower was designed from the start to withstand major seismic events. Its Tembo Galleria observation deck at 450 metres offers 360-degree views, and on clear days the Mount Fuji and the Japanese Alps become visible to the west.

Frequently asked questions

How far can you see from Tokyo Skytree?

On a clear day the terrain allows a line of sight of up to 225 km from Tokyo Skytree. The average visible distance across all 360 directions is 89.7 km. Atmospheric conditions (haze, humidity) usually reduce practical visibility below the terrain-limited maximum.

What is the farthest point visible from Tokyo Skytree?

The farthest terrain visible from Tokyo Skytree lies 225 km to the north, at an elevation of 1,746 m. Earth's curvature and atmospheric refraction are accounted for in this calculation.

How high is Tokyo Skytree?

The observation point at Tokyo Skytree sits at 469 m above sea level (Copernicus GLO-30 elevation model).

How is this visibility map calculated?

UpToWhere traces lines of sight in 360 directions from the observer using 30 m-resolution Copernicus terrain data, correcting for Earth curvature and standard atmospheric refraction. You can run the same analysis for any point on Earth with the free calculator.
