Though it\u2019s not all the way up at the tip, the new Starbucks will be located <strong>150 meters (492.1 feet) above the Tokyo streets, on the spire\u2019s 30th floor. From there, you\u2019ll be able to see not only across the city, but out to the Kanto Plain to the west, with Mt. Fuji rising from the horizon<\/strong>. The new Skytree Starbucks will also offer views of the nearby <strong>Sumida River<\/strong>, and with the cafe\u2019s opening slated for March 10, it\u2019ll be ready in time for when the<strong> cherry blossom trees<\/strong> along the waterway burst into bloom this spring.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-727201\" src=\"https:\/\/soranews24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/02\/sb-3.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Officially, the new branch is dubbed the <strong>Starbucks Reserve Cafe Tokyo Skytree Town Town 30F<\/strong>, with \u201cReserve Cafe\u201d being the chain\u2019s designation for branches that are a little fancier than a regular Starbucks, but not quite as upscale as their Reserve Roastery locations. The Skystree cafe will have an expanded menu of espresso-enhanced beverages, and to celebrate spring they\u2019ll also be baking special <strong>sakura-filling cornetti<\/strong>, with the recommendation of dipping the Italian pastries into your coffee. There\u2019ll be a total of 80 seats across three areas: a counter for customers pressed for time, a lounge zone for those who\u2019re ready for an extended relaxation session, and a table section for those whose schedule is somewhere in between.<\/p>\n<p>The Starbucks Reserve Cafe opens on March 10.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Location information<\/strong><br \/>\nStarbucks Reserve Cafe Tokyo Skytree Town 30F \/ \u30b9\u30bf\u30fc\u30d0\u30c3\u30af\u30b9\u30ea\u30b6\u30fc\u30d6\u30ab\u30d5\u30a7\u6771\u4eac\u30b9\u30ab\u30a4\u30c4\u30ea\u30fc\u30bf\u30a6\u30f330\u5e97<br \/>\nAddress: Tokyo-to, Sumida-ku, Oshiage 1-1-2, Tokyo Solamachi 30th floor<br \/>\n\u6771\u4eac\u90fd\u58a8\u7530\u533a\u62bc\u4e0a1-1-2 \u6771\u4eac\u30bd\u30e9\u30de\u30c130\u968e<br \/>\nOpen 10 a.m.-11 p.m.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source, images: <a href=\"https:\/\/stories.starbucks.co.jp\/press\/2026\/pr2026-0217\/\">Starbucks Japan<\/a><\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u25cf Want to hear about SoraNews24\u2019s latest articles as soon as they\u2019re published? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/RocketNews24En\">Follow us on Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RocketNews24En\">Twitter<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New cafe will offer beautiful views of the city, Mt.
