Ice Skating Park at Tokyo Skytree Town
Glide around at the foot of Tokyo Skytree on this rink from January 4 until March 12. The view will make it a striking place at any time, but head here after dark, when the surrounding illuminations are switched on, for a particularly atmospheric skating experience. Skate rental is included in the admission fee (¥1,800, junior high school students and younger children ¥1,000) and if you forget your gloves, which are a necessity to use the rink, you can buy a pair on site for ¥300. Drop by from 11am on January 4 for the rink’s opening ceremony to catch a stunning performance by Japanese figure skater and three-time national champion Miki Ando. The rink is open from 11am-8pm between Mon-Thu, and until 9pm between Fri-Sun and holidays.
