A package offer from the Asakusa View Hotel was posted in the Japan Times (Feb. 13) while I was still in Japan.

Since the offer is good through March, you may want to consider it if you are planning to visit Japan between now and then.

The article with the offer stated:

The Asakusa View Hotel is offering an accommodation package that comes with a ticket for the Tokyo Skytree observation deck. 

The hotel, Tokyo Skytree’s “official friendship hotel,” is in the Asakusa area, across the Sumida River from where Tokyo Skytree stands in Sumida Ward. 

Available through March, the package includes a ticket for admission to the 350-meter-high observation deck and a Tokyo Skytree-shaped bottle of water per person. Guests can use the ticket on the day of their hotel stay.

I visited the Skytree during my vacation, but didn't go up to the observation deck (not enough time as I had a lunch appointment). It appears that the crowds have died down and while there is a lot of people visiting the Skytree, it looks like getting a ticket to the observation deck is a lot easier and can be bought the same day.

This offer by the Asakusa View Hotel may be another incentive for someone to head off for Japan. The package price ranges from ¥14,000 to ¥19,000 per person, including tax and a service charge.
