THE Sakura SKYTREE: Panoramic Views, Seasonal Food and Lights

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.
