(MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE)
We went to the TOKYO SKYTREE at Japanese national holiday without any reservation tickets in advance.
The sky was blue, so lots of people came to there.
We were passed the vouchers at the beginning from the staff.
The designated time we should visit again is written in these vouchers.
We got the voucher at 1PM. The designated time is 4PM.So We had to wait for about 3hours.
At 4PM, we went to Ticket Counter again and purchased the entrance tickets.
We can purchase tickets only for the TOKYO SKYTREE TEMBO DECK (350m) at 4th floor.
Tickets to the TOKYO SKYTREE TEMBO GALLERIA (450m) must be purchased at the Ticket Counter located on the TOKYO SKYTREE TEMBO DECK (350m).

There are lots of shops in TOKYO SKYTREE(For exsample, restaurants, foods, shop of Japanese traditonal items and UNIQLO) .
