Tokyo Sky Tree

Capturing the changing faces of Tokyo Sky Tree from different angles during the day, evening, and night

The Tokyo Sky Tree is a symbolic photo spot in Tokyo that offers different looks at different times of the day. During the day, the height and openness of the tree against the blue sky; at dusk, the drama created by the changing colors of the sky and silhouettes; and at night, the fantastic and romantic atmosphere created by the lighting up are attractive. By being aware of the characteristics of each time of day and photographing from different angles and distances, you can bring out the various charms of the Sky Tree even more.

Key points for photography

The key to photography is to be aware of the changes in light at different times of the day. During the day, take advantage of the height and openness of the sky against a blue sky; at dusk, combine the gradation of the sky and silhouettes to create a dramatic effect; and at night, take advantage of the colors and brightness of the lights to create a fantastic atmosphere. In addition, by changing the shooting position and incorporating cityscapes, bridges, and river surfaces in the foreground, you can create depth and express the presence of the Tokyo Sky Tree in a more impressive way.
