'Moonlit Waltz'Tokyo Skytree 10:00
Weekdays (¥2,150 for children 12-17, ¥1,300 for children 6-11 and free for children under five); weekends and hols (¥2,350 for children 12-17, ¥1,400 for children 6-11 and free for children under five)
This pop-up collab is the first of its kind and celebrates the upcoming February release of Walpurgisnacht Rising, the long-awaited sequel to the 2013 film Rebellion, which itself is a continuation of the popular animated series Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
The magic starts at Tembo Galleria (Floors 445 and 450), where the entire place has been decked out in décor featuring scenes from the series and films. On Floor 445, you can have a cute little photo op with one of nine Madoka characters. The photographer takes your photo, then edits in the character of your choosing for ¥1,700 per pic.
The Skytree gift shop on Floor 345 features exclusive items with original visuals ranging from acrylic stands and keychains to handbags and hologram badges. Spend over ¥5,000 to receive a special themed shopping bag.
The Skytree café on Floor 340 features a limited-time speciality menu with food and drink items inspired by the Madoka franchise. For a savoury option, try the Kyubey-themed rice gratin with white sauce, or if you’ve got a sweet tooth, go for the sinfully rich Walpurgisnacht-inspired chocolate parfait.
Beverages come in a variety of flavours, from Madoka’s pink strawberry-flavoured Calpis drink to the lemon tea with orange jelly, inspired by Mami Tomoe’s yellow garb. Each purchase of a Madoka-themed café item gets you one of seven free coasters.
On select evenings, the tower lights up in an array of coloured lights corresponding to each magical girl’s outfit, alternating every two and a half minutes throughout the night.
Tickets are ¥3,100 on weekdays (¥2,150 for children 12-17, ¥1,300 for children 6-11 and free for children under five) or ¥3,400 on weekends and holidays (¥2,350 for children 12-17, ¥1,400 for children 6-11 and free for children under five).
By the way, you can purchase a special ticket that includes a 2026 calendar, which you can print yourself at any local 7-Eleven. Special tickets are ¥3,500 on weekdays (¥2,350 for children 12-17, ¥1,450 for children 6-11) or ¥3,800 on weekends and holidays (¥2,550 for children 12-17, ¥1,550 for children 6-11). Special tickets must be purchased at least a day in advance (no same-day tickets available), so plan accordingly.
