The tower also features many shops within the structure such as the Tokyo Solamachi with over 300 shops and restaurants, Tokyo Skytree Town, the Sumida Aquarium and many other attractions.

Entrance fee:

The tower has 2 viewing decks which differ in price. Prices also vary depending on age and time of the year. With all these considered the prices can range from 500 - 4200 Yen.
