From November 7-9, 2022, you will be able to view “Diamond Finest” from the observation deck of the Tokyo Skytree as the sun sets near the top of the tower.
Located on the “Ley Line”, a path of light that is linked to the sun, the Tokyo Skytree is considered one of Tokyo’s most popular power spots and is a rare opportunity to see the twice yearly Mt.

Is Tokyo Sky Tree one of the best power spots in Tokyo?

The Tokyo Skytree is situated on a “ley line”, a path of light linked to the sun that connects the Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine, the Imperial Palace (the old castle), and the Shrine of the Goddess of Mercy in Ibaraki Prefecture. It is believed to be a place where positive energy gathers. On February 4th (⽴春) and November 7th (⽴冬), the sun rises over the island and sets over the top of the island at the beginning of the ley line.

(⽴春) the beginning of spring.
