Photographers are always looking for new Tokyo Skytree photo spots. But one spot offers something different. Go to Chiba Prefecture’s Ichikawa Station. Next to it is I-Link Tower. It is a huge tower apartment building. Look out from its rooftop observation floor and you’ll enjoy a very special view.
You can get a panoramic view of the city that includes Tokyo Skytree. But, Mount Fuji is also there! On a fine day, it’s incredible. It’s the place for “only in Japan” photos.
But I must say this Tokyo Skytree photo spot guide is unfinished! Getting good pictures there is so weather-dependent. And being so far from my home, I am sometimes hesitant to go.
Summer pictures might be necessary. Why? Because at that time of year, the sun will be more to the north. So at sunset, we might get more light on Mount Fuji. That could be pretty cool. I’ll let you know when I get them up.
I-Link Tower is in Chiba Prefecture, next to Ichikawa Station. From Shinjuku, it is about a thirty-three-minute train ride. Only the Sobu line goes there.

Yes, they are! But only on the 20th and 21st of each month.
I took them at I-Link Tower on Thursday, January 12, 2023.

Wrapping up
I-Link Tower is an excellent place for panoramic views of Tokyo. Local photographers love it. And luckily, the observation deck is rarely crowded. I can only attribute that to the building being in Chiba, far from central Tokyo. If you are looking for a new Tokyo Skytree photo spot, this might be the place to go. And as a bonus, you get Mount Fuji! That sounds like a good deal!
Big lenses like the Fujifilm 100-400 are great choices for this place. Because it has a wide zoom range you can take wide-angle (relatively speaking) and telephoto shots. You can also zoom in on distant subjects, while also being able to capture the surrounding cityscape. It is pretty amazing to catch two iconic landmarks without having to move a step! Just remember to take something to fight that glare.
