Experience the Stunning Diamond Fuji from Tokyo Skytree
Mark your calendars for February 3, 2026, when a unique spectacle known as Diamond Fuji will grace the skies. This remarkable event will take place from the observatory deck of Tokyo Skytree, where you can witness the sun setting just behind the peak of iconic Mount Fuji.

What is Diamond Fuji?
Diamond Fuji refers to a phenomenon where the sun aligns perfectly with Mount Fuji's summit, creating a stunning visual resembling a diamond on the mountain’s peak.

The Tokyo Skytree offers one of the best viewpoints, being strategically located on a ley line that is believed to carry positive energy.
