Tokyo, Japan’s bustling capital, offers a plethora of engaging group activities that cater to various interests. Here are some suggestions to help you plan your group tour:

The Tokyo Skytree is a must-visit for any group. Standing at 634 meters, it’s the tallest structure in Japan and offers panoramic views of Tokyo from its two observation decks. The Tembo Deck, located at 350 meters, provides a breathtaking view during the day, while the Tembo Galleria at 450 meters is best visited at night when the city lights up.
