Demon Slayer is taking over Tokyo Skytree this autumn. At the Tembo Deck, about 350m in the air, screens on the windows will be playing six-minute clips from the anime series throughout the day, so you can watch while marvelling at the cityscape.
Head up to the Tembo Galleria where you’ll be greeted by a light-up monument of the characters, and illustrations from the anime wrapped around the 110m-long spiral corridor – there are even scenes from the blockbuster movie ‘Demon Slayer: Mugen Train’.
At the halfway point, you’ll spot a wooden box that looks just like the one our hero Tanjiro uses to protect his sister Nezuko from sunlight, which makes a great photo-op for fans. There will also be a designated photo spot where you can take a picture overlooking the city with your favourite of the 13 major characters. You can get one photo for ¥1,900 or two for ¥3,000, which come inside a special Demon Slayer frame.
Don’t forget to stop by the gift shop while you’re here. You can shop for Demon Slayer merchandise that’s exclusive to this event including keychains, cookies, T-shirts, mugs and more.
If you go up to the Sorakara Point, the highest accessible point of Skytree just over 450m in the air, you’ll find a Demon Slayer shrine where you write your wishes on a ribbon and tie it to the shrine. The ribbons come in six different designs which you can purchase via a capsule machine for ¥300 each.
And make sure to visit the Skytree Cafe to fill up on Demon-Slayer-themed foods like black curry (¥1,500) and colourful soft drink floats (¥950) that represent different characters. Your meal also comes with a special collectible coaster that comes in five variations. If you’re lucky, you might even find Tokyo Skytree’s mascot Sorakara dressed up as Nezuko, too.
You can even enjoy the event from outside. From October 21 to 23 and every Sunday (except January 2) between 4.45pm and 9pm, the entire Tokyo Skytree will be lit up in seven different colour patterns, each representing a different character from the series.
