Shibuya Sky

Cool experience and atmosphere great view of the entirety of Tokyo! I think going in the night and going in the day offer 2 completely different experiences but we really enjoyed night time! It was great seeing all the lights and vastness of Tokyo. They provide free lockers for your stuff when at the top since the wind can blow away hats and other loose articles. I would recommend anyone to go here!

There are a ton of differing opinions on the best time to come here - that said, we came late evening and absolutely loved it! Tokyo’s skyline is massive and seeing it from so many different angles is something we’ll always remember. Multiple great spots for photos, along with benches to sit and take in the view if you’d like as well. Make sure to get a reservation as soon as you can as it does book up fully.

You have to buy tickets in advance (released 2 weeks ahead). The official website was annoying to use and long queue to enter the site - research ahead before trying to buy tickets - hard to find for sunset time. I used Klook because it was quicker. It was nice - cool for pictures and everyone in line to wait their turn. The bar on the roof was not open… would have been fun. You walk around a bit and that’s pretty much it. There are other nice observatories free.

* strongly recommend to book your tickets online. When I visited those who did not have a booking were turned away. * personally speaking, come in the evening around 8pm or after. The views are more spectacular and the city truly dazzles. * they have free lockers for you to store your bag and other things * if coming at night, bring a jacket or warm clothes as it gets windy and temperature drops. That said, I highly recommend coming here. Easily the best views of Tokyo, very well run and organised.

Came here with group of friends to enjoy Tokyo from above and it didn't disappoint. We got the ticket in advance and got the time slot as we wanted it. We came like 15 minutes before the designated time and we went upstairs with the lift after showing our ticket. The lift ride up is interesting, with video being shown during the trip. The view from above is stunning. The Shibuya area and beyond can definitely be enjoyed from this vantage point. Sky crappers, highways, big parks and garden, clear blue sky.. you name it. There is a bar as well at the top, selling drinks and snacks for you to enjoy. It's a bit pricey but the place is special. It's accessible, as the lift is provided and there are ramps in many sections, including the toilets

So difficult to book tickets for this but finally managed to get tickets for sunset. The experience was great but wrap up fairly warm because it can get cold, very picturesque up on the helipad, the views are amazing especially during sunset and at night. Its nice with children too as it's a soft surface at the top and suitable for children to run around, we all loved it and I would go there again on my next visit.

Situated in the heart of Shibuya, stands this iconic building. It was easy to find. It takes a few lifts to get there eventually. Staff are very efficient in crowd control but sticks to your nominated time schedule so no early marks for getting there early. Once you are up there, on the 45 floor open air, it's breezy so make sure you have a jacket. Another important point to mention, if the weather changes , it will close and no refunds so it's weather permitting booking. There are 2 bars once you get up there, one is outside with imitation grass area and once you go downstairs to a lower level, there is one inside but only people using the bars are allowed to sit on the lounges/ chairs provided. There is a DJ scratching/ mixing some tunes . There was an immigration flower exhibition as well followed by a souvenir/ gift shop before you are politely escorted to the exit by Japanese speaking hosts but you get the message. The above view gives you the vast size of Tokyo's concrete jungle. No wonder you don't feel cold during the warmer months since the concretes heat remains after dusk. Definitely recommend to visit but most don't stay too long during to limited seating, eating options.

Cool view, but i think best view is during the day when the weather is sunny. Because the rooftop is surrounded by glass panels, at night light from people using lights and camera flash to take photos reflects off and makes it less photogenic. Also even with a reserved time slot, the lines for elevator up, locker room, escalator, and the trip back down can all be quite long, especially close to and after sunset.
