Tokyo, Feb 25: Tobu Tower Skytree Co., Ltd. has announced the return of its seasonal spring event, “THE Sakura SKYTREE® – Going to Meet the Cherry Blossoms Above the Clouds,” at TOKYO SKYTREE. The limited-period experience will run from February 26 to April 14, 2026, offering visitors a reimagined cherry blossom celebration 350 metres above Tokyo.
Positioned around the theme “Sky × Sakura,” the event transforms the Tembo Deck (Floors 350 and 340) into a curated spring environment featuring cherry blossom décor and Japanese-inspired photo installations. Designed to evoke the fleeting beauty of sakura, the installation pairs seasonal symbolism with panoramic skyline views, creating a distinctive alternative to traditional park hanami.
Immersive Projection at SKYTREE ROUND THEATER®
A major highlight for evening visitors will be a special seasonal presentation at SKYTREE ROUND THEATER on Floor 350. The observatory’s expansive windows will convert into a panoramic projection surface for a three-minute visual narrative capturing the quiet poetry and transience of cherry blossoms.
Powered by 24 projectors and immersive surround sound from 13 speakers, the presentation integrates culture, technology, and storytelling within one of Tokyo’s most iconic landmarks, adding a theatrical dimension to the spring viewing experience.
Limited-Edition Sakura Café Menu
Complementing the visual programming, the SKYTREE CAFE on Floor 350 will introduce a limited-edition cherry blossom-themed menu. Offerings include both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, alongside spring-inspired sweets crafted to be visually striking and share-worthy.
Featured items include plant-based, vegan, and gluten-free donuts in “Sakura Mochi” and “Sakura Sky Vanilla” flavours. The menu aligns with growing demand for inclusive and aesthetically engaging culinary experiences at landmark attractions.
W1SH RIBBON Installation and Seasonal Illumination
Extending the spring theme, the W1SH RIBBON monument on the Tembo Deck will feature limited-edition pink ribbons throughout the event period. Visitors can tie their wishes against a softly illuminated pink installation symbolising renewal and new beginnings. The monument lighting will also transition to pink to ensure cohesive visual continuity across the deck.
On select evenings, TOKYO SKYTREE will be illuminated in a special spring lighting display titled “Sakura SKY (Sakura-Sora).” Inspired by cherry blossoms blooming against a vast spring sky, intersecting beams of soft pink light will symbolise petals dancing in the wind, transforming the tower into a seasonal beacon across Tokyo’s skyline.
A New Perspective on Hanami
With immersive décor, projection mapping, curated gastronomy, and city-scale illumination, “THE Sakura SKYTREE®” positions TOKYO SKYTREE as a compelling addition to Japan’s spring travel calendar. By blending tradition with contemporary presentation at 350 metres above ground, the event offers an atmospheric, accessible, and distinctly urban interpretation of cherry blossom season.
