Morning is the preferred time, or evening after sunset. Since the place is free to public, the queue is quite long, need to wait 10 to 15 minutes. At top has chance to see Mt. Fuji on clear sky. Should put this least priority among all sites specially if you have very limited time in Tokyo.

Can't be bothered lining up to get into the Sky Tree? Try the free viewing platform at the TMG building for a birds-eye view over Tokyo!
