Shibuya Sky

The BEST observatory deck in Tokyo!! Amazing views and great picture spots! I love that there is a lot of seating area on the roof and a HELIPORT! Definitely recommend to go during a sunny day for a great views! We initially booked during a rainy day during which the outdoors deck was closed. But when entering they offered us a full refund and reschedule, so we decided to reschedule. Amazing customer service and very friendly staff! Also recommend exploring the indoor part as well!

Visiting Shibuya Sky on a weekday offers a more relaxed experience compared to weekends. However, because of its popularity, it is nearly impossible to purchase tickets for the evening time slots on the day of visit. The rooftop area is accessible, but since it is almost entirely enclosed by glass, it does not offer the best opportunities for photography. If your main purpose is taking photos, you may not find it necessary to go up to the rooftop. Overall, Shibuya Sky provides excellent panoramic views of Tokyo, including famous landmarks and beautiful sunsets. The experience is enhanced if you visit before sunset, allowing you to enjoy daylight, sunset, and nighttime cityscapes. Still, for photo enthusiasts, the glass barriers on the rooftop may limit ideal shot opportunities, so consider this when planning your visit.

One of the best views of Shibuya, Yoyogi Park, and Shibuya Crossing all in one rooftop. The way to get to it is a bit tricky, but best to find the correct elevator on the ground floor and follow the signs for the 14th floor. This roof top access, for a price, allows a tourist's view of the buildings below. Make sure to bring a jacket, because it does get windy and cold. Good place to spend an hour or so, with family and friends. Many areas that allow access to pictures and chill spots. There is a lounge area that closes by 2pm (if I remember correctly), on one of the sides.

Shibuya Sky is honestly one of the best viewpoints I’ve ever visited. The moment you step onto the observation deck, the atmosphere hits you — open, modern, and breathtaking. The 360° views of Tokyo are unreal, especially at sunset when the whole city lights up. Everything is organised and smooth, with friendly staff and a clean, high-quality setup. The outdoor rooftop area is the real highlight — it feels like you’re floating above the city. If you’re visiting Tokyo, this is an absolute must. I’d give it more than 5 stars if I could!

Visiting Shibuya Sky was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. The entire experience was absolutely beautiful — from the moment we entered the building to the breathtaking views at the top. We booked our tickets about one month in advance, which I highly recommend because time slots sell out quickly, especially around sunset. The observation deck offers a 360° panoramic view of Tokyo, and it honestly feels magical when the city starts to light up as the sun goes down. You can see famous landmarks like Tokyo Tower and even Mount Fuji on a clear day. The design of the rooftop space is very modern and open, with glass walls and comfortable sitting areas where you can relax and take in the view. The best time to go is definitely for the sunset — watching the city transform from daylight to a sea of sparkling lights was an unforgettable moment. The sky slowly turns golden and pink, and when the city lights come on, it feels like you’re looking at a living postcard. Everything was well-organised, clean, and peaceful despite the crowd. Staff were polite and helpful, and the elevator ride up was fast and smooth. There’s also a café and lounge area where you can grab a drink while waiting for your slot. If you’re visiting Tokyo, Shibuya Sky is a must-see — it perfectly captures the beauty and energy of the city from above. It’s worth every minute and every yen.

We went up at 3pm on a Thursday afternoon. There was a short wait but we essentially all got right in. Our family of five plus another couple. So the 7 of us enjoyed the afternoon up top for aprox 1.5hrs. There were line ups for specific picture shots up top, with a number of people over staying their time taking shots with a mounting line behind them. But to be expected at a busy attraction as this. There was some interesting art around the inside of the top floor that showed the history of the area and the construction of the building etc. Once we got up to the view, of course it was great and there were plenty of spots to both sit down or lay down to relax as the entire top helicopter pad that you are on is made of Astro-turf. There were some interesting mesh seating areas that were also comfortable. There was one tourist sleeping on one next to us who did not seem too impressed with the noise and excitement of kids around him 🙄 there is always one… However the views were amazing and we were lucky enough to get a clear day. The staff were all very accommodating and helpful as well. There was a rooftop bar/lounge area which looked great as the seating was much like a roped off VIP section at a nightclub, but with this view. However surprisingly there was no one in it… And the bar was not open… It would have been a very cool place to have a couple of beverages of course. All in all a great experience and perch above it all to watch from the top of the city, everything & everyone for miles below you…

Me and my boyfriend loved Shibuya Sky so much that we ended up staying for two hours! We booked our tickets on Klook.com with a set time slot (definitely recommend to book your tickets online), and even though we arrived about 20 minutes late, the staff were kind enough to still let us in. We visited on a Thursday midday, and it was really crowded, but still totally worth it. There were tons of great photo spots, and the panoramic views were absolutely stunning. The rooftop bar opens at 2pm, and there’s also a bar and dining area on the 45th floor inside the indoor observation area. Overall, an unforgettable experience and one of the best viewpoints in Tokyo! Must go!! Worth the hype!!!

We bought tickets to visit Shibuya Sky on the Roof deck after dark at 7:20pm. Shibuya Sky is a 229-meter open-air observation deck atop Shibuya Scramble Square (floors 14-46), offering 360-degree views of Tokyo, including the Scramble Crossing below, Tokyo Skytree, Tokyo Tower, and Mount Fuji on clear days. Zones include Sky Gate with digital art, rooftop Sky Stage with hammocks and a nightly “Crossing Light” beam show, and Sky Gallery café. Tickets are required and need to book in advance, evenings feature romantic illuminations. It was an awesome experience for us!
