THE Sakura SKYTREE: Panoramic Views, Seasonal Food and Lights
Experience sakura above Tokyo at THE Sakura SKYTREE, February 26 – April 14, 2026, with cherry blossom displays, treats, photo spots and night illuminations.

TOKYO SKYTREE invites visitors to experience spring above the city: from February 26 to April 14, 2026, THE Sakura SKYTREE “Going to meet the cherry blossoms above the sky”, will showcase sakura‑themed displays, seasonal refreshments and night‑time lighting across its observation decks and TOKYO SKYTREE TOWN
Set primarily on the Tembo Deck some 350 meters above ground, the event outfits the observation floors with photo spots and decorative displays that draw on traditional Japanese motifs. Organizers say the aim is to create a distinctly Japanese spring atmosphere that visitors can both photograph and taste, combining panoramic vistas with seasonal design and flavors.
Highlights and Attractions
Themed Decorations and Photo Areas

Floors 350 and 340 will feature several new sakura‑inspired installations.

Visual motifs include traditional patterns, brush‑stroke designs evoking spring breezes, a light‑filled wagasa (Japanese umbrella) photo set, and a round‑window “front‑row” seat on Floor 340 meant for taking springtime portraits with the city and blossoms as backdrop.

On clear days, the displays offer photo opportunities that include views of Mt. Fuji.
W1SH Ribbon Monument (Floor 350)

For the duration of the event, the popular W1SH RIBBON wish monument will offer pink event‑edition ribbons and pink lighting. Visitors can write personal or collective wishes on the ribbons and tie them to the monument.
Skytree Round Theater(R)

A short, specially produced video celebrating the ephemeral beauty of cherry blossoms will be shown on the panoramic screen at Floor 350.

Each screening lasts roughly three minutes; exact showtimes depend on deck operations.
Food, Drink and Seasonal Treats

Event‑exclusive items at the SKYTREE CAFE (Floor 350) will include sakura‑inspired alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks and sweets designed to be visually striking and camera‑friendly.

Examples listed for the event include Sakura Musubi and Sakura Shizuku (alcoholic, 1,200 yen each), plus lighter options such as Haru no Awa and Haru no Sakuramiruku (980 yen each).

Vegan, gluten‑free sakura donuts will also be offered (600 yen each). Cafe hours vary by day, and prices are tax‑inclusive.
Nighttime Illumination — “Sakurasora (Sakura SKY)”

A special spring lighting program called Sakurasora will illuminate the tower on selected evenings, using intersecting beams to evoke petals drifting across a vast spring sky. Illumination times vary by date throughout the event period. Please note lighting content are subject to change without notice.
Photo Services and Retail

A spring‑limited photo service on Floor 350 will produce commemorative prints with digitally composited cherry‑blossom petals in the sky; one print is priced at 1,500 yen and customers may opt for a regular (non‑composited) photo instead.

The SKYTREE SHOP on the tower’s fifth floor will host a temporary sakura symbol tree and sell limited‑edition goods, including an engraved medal keychain (1,200 yen, limited quantity) which visitors can personalize with the date or a message.
