The Imperial Palace in Tokyo is the main residence of the emperor of Japan and has been home to a succession of emperors since 1868. The scenic East Gardens are open to the public throughout the year, offering a popular spot for enjoying cherry blossoms. While Marunouchi is known as a business district, it also offers attractions such as skyscrapers, department stores, and architectural wonders like the Shin-Marunouchi Building and Tokyo International Forum.
Tokyo Imperial Palace East Garden: The Silent Heart of Japan’s History
Hidden amid Tokyo’s towering skyscrapers, the Imperial Palace East Garden (Higashi Gyoen) is one of the city’s most serene and historically rich destinations. Once part of the mighty Edo Castle — the seat of the Tokugawa Shogunate — the garden blends centuries of Japanese history with the quiet grace of traditional landscape design. It’s not a lavish European-style palace, but rather a living symbol of Japan’s journey from feudal power to modern harmony.
Whether you come for the history, the gardens, or a peaceful walk away from the city’s buzz, this is where Tokyo slows down — and Japan’s story speaks softly through every stone and sakura petal.
Visitor Information & Travel Tips
Located right in the center of Tokyo, surrounded by the city’s skyscrapers, the East Gardens of the Imperial Palace (Higashi Gyoen) offer a peaceful retreat steeped in history.
The most important thing to know before visiting: you cannot enter the Imperial family’s residence or the main palace buildings. The only section open to the public is this vast garden, which covers part of the former Edo Castle, once the seat of the Tokugawa Shogunate.
The gardens feature wide lawns, traditional stone walls, and calm walking paths that feel worlds away from the city’s noise. The layout still preserves the remains of the honmaru (main enclosure) and ninomaru (secondary enclosure) of Edo Castle.
The iconic Nijubashi Bridge, visible from the outer grounds, is one of Tokyo’s most photographed landmarks — especially during special imperial events like the Emperor’s Birthday or New Year’s Greeting.
Entrance: Free of charge
Closed: Mondays, Fridays, and during New Year holidays or official ceremonies
Recommended Visit Time: 1–2 hours
Best Seasons: Spring (cherry blossoms) and autumn (maple foliage)
Historical & Cultural Background
The East Garden sits on the former site of Edo Castle, a stronghold built in the 15th century and later expanded by the Tokugawa Shogunate. When the Meiji Restoration of 1868 ended Japan’s feudal rule, Edo was renamed Tokyo and the castle became the Imperial Palace — the new symbol of national unity.
During World War II, parts of the palace complex were damaged by air raids. In the postwar years, the gardens were meticulously restored and, as a gesture of openness and renewal, opened to the public. This act came to symbolize Japan’s peaceful transformation and reconciliation with its past.
Walking through the East Garden today, you trace the footsteps of emperors, shoguns, and citizens alike. Every stone wall and moat whispers fragments of Japan’s layered history — from feudal strength to modern serenity.
In the heart of one of the world’s busiest cities, the East Garden remains a space where Japan’s past and present coexist in perfect balance.

I did not hire a tour guide or purchase an admission ticket. I simply went to explore the area. The grounds are vast, spacious, and beautifully maintained. The landscaping is impeccable, as is typical in Tokyo. It is a popular spot for walking and jogging.
Visiting was definitely worthwhile.
We had the quick visit to the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, and even though visitors can’t fully access the inner areas, the experience was still memorable. The palace grounds are beautifully preserved and give a sense of calm right in the middle of the city. The park is covered with vibrant green grass, neat bonsai trees, and wide open spaces that are perfect for a peaceful stroll. Standing there, you can see Tokyo’s modern buildings rising in the background, which makes the view even more scenic. It’s a quiet place that feels like a hidden pocket of nature in the heart of the city, even if you’re just visiting the outer grounds.
This review is meant to the gardens around the palace. I couldn’t really find the palace itself, as all the trails that led to it were blocked. Some people say you can have guided tours twice a day to visit the exterior of the palace, so that might be an option, but I believe the palace itself is a newish building and unassuming.
However, the gardens or park around the palace are huge, and you start to see some autumn colours (end of October 2025). I took a long walk there, and it was very peaceful. There are also toilets at various sites (I used the ones by the entrance next to Starbucks and they were clean; no paper towels or hand dryer though so bring a washcloth).
I saw many people enjoying the good weather and just relaxing.
So I wouldn’t worry about the opening times of the palace (they might seem very strict), as I was, because you’re probable only going to visit the gardens anyway.
It’s a great place to walk around and to learn some Japanese culture. Depends on your purposes, I suggest spending at least 2-hr to walk around. The walk is about 3-5 miles to cover the best part of the Japan Royal Palace.
Visiting the Imperial Palace is a must! Once the heart of imperial Japan, the grounds are beautifully maintained. You'll be impressed by the sheer size of the walls and various protective features surrounding the palace. Highly recommended for history enthusiasts and anyone wanting to explore Japan's royal heritage!
Absolutely beautiful. It’s pretty cheap to buy the tickets on Klook and just pass the line. The wait isn’t terrible to wait for the elevator but the last 3 floors are stairs only and people can be a bit ripe so be prepared for that.
We visited the place on a Saturday, and did find a lot of tourists. But the place is huge and calm, so you will enjoy walking here. It is well maintained and can be explored without a guide as well. A must visit if you’re in Tokyo!

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, a stunning architectural marvel designed by Kenzo Tange, is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the vibrant city of Tokyo. This iconic complex features two impressive towers, each offering free observatories on their 45th floors that provide breathtaking panoramic views of Shinjuku's skyline and beyond. Recently, the buildings have gained even more attention due to the TOKYO Night & Light event, showcasing the world's largest permanent projection mapping display on their exterior.
Both North and South Observatory are at the 45th storey. The lift entrance is only at Building No. 1, ground floor. The lift takes 55 seconds to reach the top. Mount Fuji will be visible from both towers on a clear day. South tower has a grand piano open to public for performance from 10am to 12pm and 2pm to 4pm.

Incredible nightly video shows with music on the building. Has a fantastic observation deck on the top of both buildings. On the ground floor there is a small mall with two of the best visitors information centers in Tokyo. Visit during the daytime to learn about Tokyo and overlook the city then visit at night to see show and a very different view from the observation deck.
Not a lot of tourists know about this attraction, which is completely free!!
The observatory decks are as good as the other towers out there.
The wait to go up is minimal.
The fact that there is a public piano for performances makes it more mesmerizing.
There is a small cafe on the top, so you can easily chill while watching the view or the performers.
The night shows are also worth watching.
There are different songs and projections.
The building is quite close to a station.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
An unforgettable (and free!) Tokyo experience!
Hard to believe that such a professional and well-managed observatory is completely free to visit! The panoramic views of Tokyo are truly breathtaking—even though I couldn’t catch Mt. Fuji due to cloudy weather, the experience was still remarkable.
What made the atmosphere even more special was the public piano—each performer played so beautifully, and the queue was organized very smoothly. Small details like a free water fountain and reasonably priced vending machines made the visit even more comfortable.
If you’re visiting Tokyo, this is a must-see spot! Can’t recommend it enough.
It's an amazing free viewing platform!
South entrance has always short lines.
Come for stunning sunset views.
And dont forget to catch the light show, starting from 19.30...
This summer they have a nice grassy area to chill while watching.
Unlike incorrectly recommended Shinjuku L Sun Tower, the Metropolitan Government building has a free observation deck on the 45th floor. You can view almost every direction from there. The have gifts and refreshments for sale too. Highly worth the visit IMHO.
One of the best observatories in Tokyo, with two separate observatory decks, a north one and a south one. Both have amazing views of the city at just the right height. The south observatory even has a piano designed by Yayoi Kusama free for your playing (five minute limit). Best of all, both decks are free!
One of the best observation decks in Tokyo! We went up to the North Observatory only, and the view was absolutely amazing — and it’s free! We’re glad we came. Honestly, the North deck alone is enough; no need to visit both. Highly recommended!

The Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center is a modern facility designed by Kengo Kuma, located near the Sensoji Temple's Kaminarimon gate. It offers free guided tours, currency exchange, and an information desk. The eight-story building features a covered observation deck with stunning views of Sensoji Temple. Visitors can also explore exhibitions and cultural events on other floors. Additionally, the center provides electrical charging points for those in need of battery power.
Located in front of the Kaminarimon intersection.
The observation terrace on the 8th floor is free of charge.
There is a café on the same floor, both of which are available for a relaxing break.
The elevator can accommodate only about 8 people, and people cannot get on the elevator from the intermediate floors when it is full on the first floor.
From the 8th floor, you can get a bird's-eye view of Sensoji Temple and the Sky Tree.
I was able to take pictures of Sensoji Temple and Sky Tree at night.
This facility provides information about Asakusa, but there are many spaces where you can sit down for free, so it is just right for a break when you are tired. There is a terrace and cafe on the top floor, where you can view the Kaminarimon gate and Sky Tree from just the right angle. It is open all year round.
Designed by Kengo Kuma, the building is a wonderful example of Japanese culture with its house-shaped laminations and vertical louvers, but also with a modern novelty. The house shape on the exterior is not merely decorative, but is reflected in the sloping floors of the interior exhibition rooms, and the space between the roof and the upper floor is effectively used as a space for equipment.

The Asakusa Culture and Tourist Information Center serves as an excellent first stop for your visit to Asakusa. Located directly across from the famous Kaminarimon (Thunder Gate), it offers free panoramic views and comprehensive tourist services .
Free Observation Terrace: The 8th-floor Observation Terrace is a major highlight, offering a fantastic free view of the Asakusa area, including a direct view down Nakamise-dori towards the Senso-ji Temple and a clear view of the Tokyo Skytree . There is also a cafe where you can enjoy a drink while taking in the scenery .
This building is very close to Asakusa Station. Before heading to Sensoji Temple or other attractions, it’s a good idea to stop by here for information. The front desk provides English support.
The washrooms are clean and there was no queue.
On the 8th floor, there is a free observation deck. You can reach it easily by escalator. The view is beautiful and worth a visit.
There is also a cafe. I found it a bit expensive, but many people enjoy having coffee while taking in the beauty of Asakusa.
A great place for tourist information brochures along with a free observation deck on the top floor. There you have a great view of Senso-ji Temple, Kaminarimon Gate, Nakamise Shopping street and Tokyo sky tree tower.
The staff are helpful in providing information about the area.
There are other exhibits worth taking in. There’s a cute cafe inside for snacks and drinks.
Best place to see Asakusa! They're open until late for you night shot junkies and it's all free. Just be aware that you won't be the only one there, no tripods allowed and you need to avoid taking photos through the double glass, but there are a few spots where you can get that shot you want.
They offer a free observation deck for the temple and skytree. They also have a cafe where you can chill overlooking Sensoji.
Other than it's function as a tourist information centre to this area, it's actually a really beautiful piece of architecture by Kengo Kuma, one of Japanese most famous architects. You can see the details of the timber fins designed and bolt shading the heat.

This is the Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center. There is a spot on the top floor where you can see the Skytree. It's free.

Discover the allure of Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, a 54-story architectural marvel in Tokyo's Minato district. This multifaceted tower is home to the Mori Art Museum, showcasing captivating contemporary art from around the world. Visitors can also indulge in retail therapy and savor delectable cuisines at various shops and eateries within the tower.
From bright sky to sunset to lights on, this observation tower is a good option to hangout and enjoy the whole scenery in comfort as it is indoors, and have places for you to sit and chill while enjoying the 360 view. It is also less crowded compared to more popular observation decks, which means higher chance to find a good spot. Sometimes, there will be limited time exhibitions or events as well.

A modern skyscraper with an impressive observation deck offering panoramic views of Tokyo.
The entrance fee to the observation deck is yen 2000 as of March 2025.
The Mori Art Museum inside features rotating contemporary exhibitions, adding cultural value to the visit.
The building is surrounded by upscale shops, restaurants, and an open-air plaza, making it a lively area to explore.
While the entrance fee is a bit pricey, the stunning cityscape, especially at sunset or night, makes it worthwhile.
A great spot for photography and a different perspective of Tokyo’s skyline
The Mori Tower Observatory was disappointing and not worth the price. At 2,000 yen per adult, I expected a clear and stunning view, but instead, the windows were dirty, making it hard to take good photos.
If you’re looking for a view, you’re better off going to the 2nd floor (2F), which is free and still offers a decent perspective of the city. Definitely not worth the expensive ticket for the observatory.
We were there for the Belgian Beer Festival and they did not disappoint. There were also some food stalls available that looked absolutely delicious!
Great views of the surrounding town. Tickets to the observation area are during a specific time window. Buy ahead of time so you can pick your window before it fills up. You can go in as early as 15 minutes (but not before) your time window.
The tower itself is while impressive still just a tower. What counts is the Mori museum on the top floor. One of places to visit while in Tokyo. So hit the 52-nd flor button in the Mori elevator and enjoy.
I’d been to Tokyo Skytree and Tokyo Tower before I came here. This is the best city view of Tokyo.
From Skytree every thing just looked flat whereas Tokyo Tower’s view were blocked by high rise buildings around it.
Here it’s a fine balance. I could enjoy the views of various landscapes of Tokyo.
I can see myself coming here again in the future. I already visited here twice - day and night.
The view from the top of Mori tower was incredible. I visited in March 2025. An amazing 360 view and located in Roppongi right next to one of the entrances at the station. Ticket entry costs 2000 Yen

The Bunkyo Civic Center is a distinctive government building located near the Tokyo Dome, featuring an iconic design with a section resembling a flying saucer at the top, which houses an observation deck. Similar to the renowned Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, visitors can access the observation deck for free and enjoy stunning views of the city under different weather conditions.
Another one of those great “free things to do in Tokyo”. Navigating to it is relatively easy, after Maps gets you there, you just follow the signs to get to the blue elevators that go up to the 25th floor. Crowds can be hit or miss, when we visited there wasn’t anybody at the Sky Tree side (east), but there were a bunch on the Shinjuku side (west). And by the time we were going down, they all were leaving as well. The views are pretty good and if you’re collecting stamps, they do have a stamp area too.

When I came here for registration, it’s very crowded and had a long wait time in the second floor. However workers here are very helpful. Also the top floor has a great view.
I can't say anything about the service of this I situation, sorry. As a tourist I've very much enjoyed a free to visit observation deck and the stamp :) I thank the administration for such an ability and hope it will stay available for others too. Very clean, very comfortable and convenient - no waiting. Great night views. It's also quite funny to see local clerks buzzing I the offices while going up on the elevator :)
GO HERE. Amazing views for free. Try not to get your hopes up about seeing Fuji though.
Great free observation deck at 25th floor (take the blue elevators). You can see mount Fuji on a clear day. You can see Tokyo Skytree on the other side. There are uncrowded toilets, also. And don't forget to get your stamp.
It’s free, people rarely go and it is quiet and perfectly kept. Too bad you cannot see half of the city, but at least Shinjuku with Mt. Fuji in the background and Skytree to the east do their part. Strongly competes with Tocho’s observation deck.
Great FREE observation deck with few visitors. Nice place to be quiet and enjoy the view. Will like to come back and try the restaurant next time.
I checked out the view of the place and ate at the restaurant just next to the viewing place. If you visit the place, make sure to confirm the opening and closing time. I want to take some pictures of the view opposite to the Tokyo Dome and was surprised by a closed dock at 9p.m.

Tokyo Tower, reminiscent of the Eiffel Tower, is a significant landmark in Tokyo and Japan. It was opened in 1958 and celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2018. Standing at 333m tall, it offers observation areas at 150m and 250m high, providing stunning views of Mt. Fuji, Mt. Tsukuba, and the entire Tokyo metropolis.
Absolutely loved our visit to Tokyo Tower! The views are breathtaking—on a clear day you can see all the way across the city, and the sunset-to-night transition is pure magic. The staff were friendly, the lines moved quickly, and everything felt clean and well-organized. The main deck has great photo spots and helpful signage in English.
Bonus: there was a special car promotion happening today at the base plaza with sleek display models, mini demos, and fun photo ops—an unexpected treat that added to the vibe without crowding the experience. Easy access from the station, plenty of cafes and souvenir options downstairs. If you’re in Tokyo, make this a must-do!

Absolutely worth the extra ticket! The Sky Deck gives a breathtaking open-air view of Tokyo — you can feel the breeze and see the city lights. It’s especially beautiful around sunset or at night when the skyline glows.
The staff are friendly and help keep the experience smooth and safe. You can see landmarks like Roppongi Hills, Rainbow Bridge, and even Mount Fuji on a clear day. It’s peaceful, romantic, and unforgettable — definitely one of the best viewpoints in Tokyo.
My wife booked us in for a pickleball game UNDER TOKYO TOWER! I didn’t know they did this… it was a great experience! On the roof-top of the building directly beneath the tower. There were two courts and an attendant managing thins. She provided our rackets and balls + took some photos at then end.
We had the kids with us so they were helping referee our games. There were some photo spots on the room and vending machines, so they kept busy for the hour…
There was also a bar / restaurant up on the roof but unfortunetly it was not open. Would have been nice to be able to head there for a biru after the match! Next time….
All in all it was a great experience, staff were helpful and it was a very cool day seeing a unique side of a historic landmark of the city. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻
Tokyo Tower is an iconic symbol of the city, standing at 333 meters tall. Its design is inspired by the Eiffel Tower, featuring a striking red and white color scheme. Visitors can access observation decks for breathtaking panoramic views of Tokyo, including sights like Mount Fuji on clear days. The tower also houses a variety of shops, restaurants, and an aquarium, making it a versatile destination. The surrounding park is lovely for leisurely strolls. Overall, Tokyo Tower offers a unique blend of history, culture, and stunning views, making it a must-visit for tourists.
Visiting Tokyo Tower at night was an incredible experience. The tower’s warm orange glow against the evening sky is truly stunning. The observation deck offers breathtaking panoramic views of Tokyo’s city lights. The place is clean, well-maintained, and easy to access. Highly recommended for anyone exploring Tokyo!
🗼
We were here last night and the experience was exceptional, a once in a lifetime must see wonder. As Japan, in general bring in the ring of fire and Tokyo in particular this structural icon of Tokyo with stood earthquakes.
The top deck experience for me spiced up the experience. As it gave a different perspective being 252 meters above, with its cool IG picturesque effect.
Absolutely stunning views of Tokyo, especially at sunset!
We paid for the upper floor, and it's well worth the extra cost and should be booked in advance. The main floor is a little crowded, and features a cramped shop and various brand-related events. This whole area becomes pitch black at night, with glass or glow-in-the-dark floor areas, and is overall a great way to experience the area.
However, if you have a time-slot for the additional floor you can line up at another elevator (note your time STARTS at the time listed, not "must arrive by" as the email says!) to go higher. This includes a brief promotional video, a professional photo (printed on a small promotional leaflet as you leave), a small drink, but most importantly a mirror-filled observation deck.
From this deck you can see miles and miles in all directions, with the city's drastic appearance change during sunset providing a unique perspective. Whilst it can be quite crowded, people typically move on after taking their selfies so you can stare in peace. It's even possible to see mt fuji sometimes!
Upon exiting there's a strange small mall at the base, selling various mementos and snacks, with the exit hidden away and requiring careful sign following.
Amazing view! I visited on a Saturday night after dinner, walking from Roppongi Station and taking photos of the tower from several different angles. It’s beautifully lit up at night, and if there’s fog, it adds an extra layer of magic for those chasing the perfect shot.
There was no queue late at night for the observation deck—perhaps because of the rain or simply the late hour. Around the area, you’ll find a few food trucks, a small Family Mart, and souvenir shops on the second floor. Take a stroll before buying anything, as there are plenty of interesting items to choose from.
For photos, make sure to walk around the tower—each angle offers a unique perspective. Personally, I think nighttime is the best time to visit for stunning shots.

Tokyo Skytree is the world's tallest freestanding broadcasting tower, offering a 360-degree view from its observation deck. At night, Tokyo Tower, Odaiba, and Tokyo Skytree light up the city with vibrant colors. Visitors can enjoy a dinner cruise with Japanese and Western-style dishes while taking in the stunning views.
Even on a cloudy and rainy day, visiting the Tokyo Skytree was nothing short of amazing. Standing at 634 meters, it dominates the skyline of Tokyo and offers an unforgettable experience that goes far beyond the view alone. Even though the weather wasn’t ideal, the visit proved that the Skytree’s charm doesn’t depend on clear skies — it’s a symbol of modern Japan and an experience full of fascination from start to finish.
The journey begins at the base, where Skytree Town offers a lively mix of shops, restaurants, and attractions. The atmosphere is welcoming and full of energy, with visitors from all over the world. The elevator ride to the observation decks is a thrill in itself — smooth, fast, and accompanied by beautiful lights that build anticipation as you ascend to the top.
When I reached the Tembo Deck and Tembo Galleria, the city below was wrapped in mist and soft rain, creating a mysterious, almost dreamlike view of Tokyo. The clouds moved quickly, sometimes revealing flashes of the Sumida River, Asakusa, and the endless urban landscape. The reflections on the glass and the quietness of the rainy day made the experience even more serene.
There’s also much to enjoy indoors: the café serves excellent desserts and coffee, and the souvenir shops offer high-quality gifts with unique Skytree designs. Staff members were extremely friendly and patient, helping visitors take photos and explaining details about the structure.
Leaving the Skytree, I realized that even without the perfect weather, the visit had a special atmosphere — calm, elegant, and deeply memorable. Rain or shine, Tokyo Skytree stands tall as one of Japan’s most inspiring landmarks, offering a beautiful perspective not only over the city, but over the harmony of technology, art, and spirit that defines Tokyo itself.

If you’re visiting Tokyo, I definitely recommend checking out Tokyo Skytree honestly, it’s way more impressive than Tokyo Tower! It’s much taller, and the view you get from the top is absolutely amazing. You can see the entire city spread out beneath you, and it’s such a cool experience.
Personally, I think nighttime is the best time to go. The city lights look incredible, and it’s not as crowded as during sunset or daytime. Sunset can get super packed it’s hard to even find a good spot to look out! During the day there are usually more families and kids around, so it can feel a bit busier.
If you go, make sure to visit both observation floors they’re both worth it! And if you happen to go during the day, check out one of the fancy restaurants up there. Just remember, they have a dress code no running shoes or sporty clothes. Dress up a little, like you’re going out on a nice date!
Overall, Skytree is a fun and unforgettable experience, especially if you love great views and city lights. 🌃
A must visit landmark in Tokyo! Buying tickets at the self service machines was quick and easy, and the elevator ride up to the observation deck took only seconds.
The Tokyo Skytree has two observation levels: the Tembo Deck (350m) and the Tembo Galleria (450m). From the Tembo Deck, you get a breathtaking 360° panoramic view of Tokyo. On clear days, you can even spot Mt. Fuji! Unfortunately, it was rainy and windy during my visit, and I could actually feel the tower swaying a bit, quite an experience! Still, the rainy view of Tokyo, with its neat streets and dense rooftops, had a special charm.
The Tembo Galleria features a glass floor section, standing on it and looking down at the tiny buildings below was both thrilling and unforgettable.
After coming down, I visited the souvenir shop, as expected, Japan’s packaging design is beautiful and tempting. Hard not to buy something!
Right next to the Skytree is Tokyo Solamachi, a large shopping complex with the Sumida Aquarium, restaurants, ice cream shops, Pokémon Center, Kirby Café, and even a children’s play area. Lots to see, eat, and shop, you could easily spend the whole day here!
Tokyo Skytree, Japan’s tallest building at 634 meters, is truly impressive. You can go up to 450 meters with a super-fast elevator, and the view from the top is stunning — on a clear day, you can even see Mount Fuji.
There’s also a glass floor area, which could be fun, but with hundreds of people crowded around, you can barely enjoy it.
Unfortunately, the experience didn’t really feel worth the long wait — over an hour in line to go up, and almost 40 minutes to get down. Going up was fairly organized, but coming down was total chaos.
If I had known in advance how long the waiting would be, I wouldn’t have gone in at all.
Also, don’t bother buying your ticket online — those with on-site tickets get in faster because online tickets must be exchanged for paper ones first, which makes no sense.
Very disappointing. To start, they give people the opportunity to pre purchase tickets for a certain time and recommend on their website that you do so. To us it didn’t give any advantage as people who didn’t have pre purchased tickets just waltzed in and bought them. Further to this, the amount of tickets sold per time slot is far too high leaving you to queue for 30-45 minutes on the ground floor alone just to get admitted.
Secondly, once you’re admitted after (45 minutes) you are packed into an elevator like sardines to a point it’s almost uncomfortable and unhygienic. We understand trying to get people up as fast as possible but this comes back to the underlying issue of selling too many tickets for each time slot.
Once you make it to the deck (350m) you’re are greeted by a view of the backs of people’s heads. There isn’t a lot of opportunity to see the attraction you pay to see because of the sheer number of people inside. You may get fleeting glimpses but you have to really fight for a spot at the front to get a decent look at the view.
After this we decided to go up to the gallery (450m) which we purchased with our ticket. And guess what… more queues. The queue to go up to the gallery alone took another 15 minutes and once we were up there it was the same story. Over crowded.
And then we get to the worst part… to get out you have to stand in a queue yup that’s right, another queue. To get back from the gallery to the deck we waited 25 minutes and then once we were on the deck we queued another 25 minutes to take the elevator down to the bottom.
Overall yes… the attraction is cool however the experience is terrible. Once we got to the top the first thing we wanted to do was leave as there was an unpleasant number of people around. If you plan to go here, go during the day.
If you enjoy waiting in lines this is the place for you!
I prepurchase tickets to guarantee being able to enter in time for sunset. I would highly recommend doing that. It was pretty crowded but we got a space next to the window and it was well worth the effort. It was beautiful with Mt Fuji being the star. City is so pretty and night.
Such a great place to visit and pay to enter the tallest area. We visited early afternoon and the wait time was only 15 minutes. The staff were friendly, great personality, and well organized. Each section was great, not too crowded. I was able to see Mt. Fuji so that made me excited. Currently there's a Toy Story theme, so great exhibits to see. Many photo ops available. Their souvenir shop was good and had a variety of items. Honestly you should visit one paid observatory and Tokyo Skytree I recommend, plus Asakusa had many sightseeing opportunities. There's a mall connected too, but did have a chance to visit. There's a metro line near there too.
We visited Tokyo Skytree around 5 PM. The line moved quite fast, which was nice, but once inside it was extremely crowded. It was difficult to fully enjoy the beautiful view or take pictures without waiting for people to move. The upper deck, though higher and promising a better view, was even busier. At one point, we couldn’t move at all, as the queue to go down took up more than half of the space on that floor. Overall, it felt a bit overwhelming despite the stunning views and beautiful tower. Also highly recommend to buy tickets in advance !!

KITTE Marunouchi is a modern retail center located in a high-rise building with seven floors of shops, restaurants, and services. The architecture showcases the white stone facade of the 1931 Tokyo General Post Office building, offering a blend of history and modernity. Visitors can explore a rooftop garden with views of the city and incoming bullet trains from Tokyo Station.
I had a fantastic shopping experience at KITTE mall. The atmosphere is stylish and welcoming, making it a great spot to explore. I was especially impressed by the thoughtful store layouts and the quality of the products. Although some items are on the pricier side, the overall experience is worth it. I would definitely love to visit again and spend more time discovering the hidden gems in KITTE. Highly recommend it!

Japanese design products store in this building are interesting and worth to visit. Quality of their products are superb. Good restaurants are there too. Just across the street from Tokyo station. Enjoy !
Lots of upscale stores. Good food options in basement. The star of the show goes to the free museum inside. It's an EXCELLENT way to spend time and enjoy a neat experience right near Toyko station.
The Kitte building itself is architecturally speaking quite interesting with it's triangular shape, glass roof and tiled exterior in "Tokyo light beige".
In addition, the former postmaster's office on the 4th floor, which is open to the public, is quite a unique touch. One cannot only sense the atmosphere of past times - and even write some letters & postcards at reserved tables - but the view to the historic Tokyo Station building is simply stunning. Great picture taking spot and really gives you a sense of places & periods "mashing" together.
So, definitely recommended to visit the 4th floor for sightseeing, but the rest of the shops are not worth visiting IMHO: mostly heavily overpriced tourist stuff and chain restaurants. There are many, many better shopping options in Tokyo.
I went to KITTE Marunouchi near Tokyo Station and really enjoyed the visit. The place has a nice mix of shops and restaurants, and it feels modern but still relaxing to walk around. I especially liked the rooftop garden – the view of Tokyo Station’s red brick building was so beautiful and peaceful.It’s a great spot if you want to shop a little, grab something to eat, or just take a break with a nice view. I had a really good time there and would definitely recommend it.
Go to the rooftop terrace for amazing views of Tokyo Station. It is free. Level 6.
If you are there during the day also pop into the free museum on level 3. You will not regret it.
Beautiful and spacious mall. Calm and relaxing ambience. So much to discover here: exhibit, museum, fashion, food and more. Plus point: great view of Tokyo station at letter room on level 4
We like the stores. Ontsuka Tiger shoe shop is here, our favorite

Nature & Parks
Park
Koishikawa Korakuen Garden is a serene and picturesque landscape garden that dates back to the 17th century. It features walking paths, a pond, and bridges, creating a tranquil atmosphere for visitors. The garden was constructed during the Edo Period by Yorifusa Tokugawa and completed by Mitsukuni. Its design includes elements evoking Chinese scenery and famous locations throughout Japan.
Though smaller in size compared to many other Japanese gardens, this one certainly doesn’t disappoint. We arrived around 10 AM and shared the space with only a handful of other visitors, making for a peaceful and serene experience. While it must be even more breathtaking when the lilies and iris are in full bloom, the garden was still beautiful—offering a true sense of tranquility. I did find myself wishing for a park bench to sit and linger a while longer.
Also, if you’re into history,a highlight worth noting is the Full Moon Bridge. Its arch and reflection in the water together form the shape of a full moon. It’s not only visually striking but also historically significant, as it’s one of the oldest stone arch bridges in Japan.

The entrance fee is 300 yen, which is reasonable for a visit. The garden is well-maintained and features several historical markers scattered throughout, offering insights into its past. There are restrooms, shaded areas, and benches that make it a comfortable place to stroll or rest.
While the garden is pleasant and peaceful, it didn’t quite stand out to me compared to others I’ve visited in Japan. Perhaps it was the lack of visible wildlife—aside from a few birds, some lizards, and a couple of pale fish, I didn’t see much. No turtles, which I’ve come to enjoy spotting in many Japanese gardens.
Still, if you're nearby, it's definitely worth a stop. It's a calm and clean space with historical charm, even if it wasn't my personal favorite
An ancient Japanese garden located near Tokyo Dome, this expansive garden not only features a wide variety of plants but also many historical ruins. It’s a great place for walking and photography, and it also holds rich educational value. However, there are lots of mosquitoes here, so when visiting, be sure to wear long pants or apply insect repellent 😅😅😅
Garden is quite small but very well designed. You can have some tea and snacks in old style tea house, enjoy tranquil lake view or take a walk around area.
Place is famous for plum blossoms, but I think there is enough to see every season.
Among my favorite gardens in Tokyo -- classic Edo-era stroll garden, beautifully maintained and serene as can be. The restaurant at the West Gate offers on-site meals with a view overlooking the garden, take-away bentos at lunch, and changes to a teahouse later in the day. Entry into the garden is a little difficult to find if coming from the north (just keep folloing along the white wall) -- there's a west and east point of entry at the southern end of the garden.
Beautiful and peaceful full park. We were pretty much alone there with a few people passing by. We saw cute duckies swimming around in the pond. We even found a stamp station. If you are looking for some peace and quiet, definitely stop there. 🙏
This place inspired retirement goals. Saw a bunch of elderly under a shaded tree to take pictures of a bird by the pond. An ancient spot that was build perfectly for one to enjoy till this date. Definitely worth a visit. It might be a lot more beautiful during spring with all the blossoms.
A beautiful garden. I enjoyed walking around and finding all the hidden routes. The garden is very well maintained and was very clean and fresh. An enjoyable walk.

It is easy to get to as it is directly connected to Shibuya station.The exhibitions and stores in Creative Space 8 were interesting.Many of the stores inside are very nice.There is also a gallery, which I enjoyed.I saw the view of Shibuya from here, and it changes every time I visit.
Great building, 11th floor provides excellent views - though there are signs that (slightly) discourage taking photos from here. Rest of mall is OK too if you can forgive the Corporate Memphis murals on the exterior ground level.
A wonderful shopping centre 😊
I highly recommend
It has shopping, food, and a nice city view. Great place to visit!
Nice shop and department store with various of different styles and fashions, culture, food and much more to explore in the Shibuya area!
Definitely some of the best shopping areas with amazing deals, easy access and of course everybody loves duty-free. If you spend over ¥5500, they seal up your package for easy entry into the airport.

Established in the 1870s, the University of Tokyo is a prestigious research institution renowned for its excellence in humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. The university emphasizes the importance of maintaining biodiversity by addressing various environmental issues such as irregular agricultural practices, excessive logging, and large-scale wildfires. Many historical buildings within the university campus are designated as National Tangible Cultural Properties, adding to its rich heritage.
Probably the best university in Japan. We toured inside the campus and it was amazing! We went through different buildings and small parks or rest areas inside campus. There is a lot of greenery and good landscaping inside the premises. They also have a wonderful and huge campus Cafeteria which serves very good Japanese and international food, and so cheap! The campus Co-Op shop has almost everything that a student will need. Coincidentally this university has a statue of both Hachiko and his master Dr.Hidesaburo Ueno because the late Dr.Ueno was a long time professor here until his untimely death in 1925.

Very beautiful campus filled with Neo-Gothic buildings. Although the gothic style is very different from those of the ancient universities of Europe, it still gives the university an old and classy look.
The Hongo Campus of the University of Tokyo is the university’s main and most historic campus, situated in Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo. Established in 1877, it is one of Japan’s leading academic institutions and a hub for cutting-edge research and education. The campus is renowned for its rich history, picturesque scenery, and state-of-the-art facilities, combining traditional architecture with modern infrastructure.
Notable landmarks include the iconic Akamon Gate (Red Gate), a designated cultural property originally built in 1827 as the entrance to the Maeda Clan’s estate, and the Yasuda Auditorium, a symbol of academic excellence and a venue for key university events. The campus is adorned with lush greenery and features gardens and walkways that offer a serene environment for learning and reflection.
Hongo Campus is home to various faculties, including Law, Literature, Science, Engineering, and Medicine, as well as numerous research institutes focusing on disciplines ranging from natural sciences to humanities. It also hosts world-class libraries and museums, such as the General Library and the Koishikawa Botanical Gardens, supporting both academic and cultural endeavors.
Located in the heart of Tokyo, the campus is well-connected to the city’s transport network, providing students, researchers, and faculty with access to vibrant urban life while maintaining a peaceful academic atmosphere. It is a global hub, attracting scholars and students from all over the world, and plays a key role in shaping academic and scientific advancements in Japan and beyond.
What a beautiful architecture , still preserved in its authentic manner. Entire campus is so green, many beautiful pathways, high end modern class room and auditorium infrastructure. Very humble and helpful faculty , astonishing library. Must take a stroll in the campus when in Tokyo to get the vibes of academic excellence thriving here for century!!!
This is my university, I spend 4 years here. One of the best university in the world. The beauty of campus is amazing, therefore in fall; lots of people visit the campus. Best place to shoot autumn vibe photos for social media. Moreover you can feel the vibes from my posted photos. Both Adult and kids will enjoy the place.
One of the best universities in the world, they have very unique historical buildings. The cool environment makes students feel at home doing their assignments here. They have very complete and international standard facilities. I see that one of the requirements for taking a master's or PhD is to have a certificate of being able to speak Japanese. Commensurate with the quality provided.
Went here after continuing our walk from Ueno Park. The environment is cozy. I saw many universities student hanging around the plaza area as well. As I walked around from East side to West side, I realized how comfortable this area is. When we visited, the only gate that is opened on the West side is the main entrance. The signage is a bit confusing, but you can follow the trace for big ginko tree if you're searching for the main entrance as it's lining up beautifully.
Definitely best place to experience beautiful Autumn in Tokyo. Many old buildings with parallel Ginkgo trees. Free entrance. Keep quiet due to many library and teaching rooms near pix locations.

Yebisu Garden Place is a vibrant complex in Tokyo, featuring a tower with high-story restaurants and a lounge offering stunning city views. The place also houses a photography museum that opened in 1990 and moved to its current building within the garden in 1995. Known for its themed exhibitions, it has showcased works by various photographers from different eras.
I came here just to appreciate the night view of Tokyo. What a place to be! There’s no entry fee and you get to see Tokyo Tower, truly a magnificent sight.
Just a reminder if you are a (amateur/hobbyist) photographer:
- Bring a 70-200/200-600 lens
- Use a tripod
- Adjust ISO to 100 and use longer exposure time to get clean images!
Good lucks and have fun!

Hello,
I would like to file a complaint about a food poisoning case that happened on November 1st, 2025.
I had dinner at around 6-7pm at the Unagi restaurant on the 38F of Yebisu Garden Place. The name is うなぎ四代目 菊川 恵比寿ガーデンプレイス店.
I had a set meal with three pieces of Unagi, a big amount of Sashimi, soup, rice and pickles. The amount was around ¥4300 yen.
I developed extreme fever, chills, headache and nausea after the meal. I am still experiencing those symptoms now.
Please investigate
A lovely place to spend a evening with friends and family. Beautiful view of the winter illuminations and the main attraction as now (13-11-22) is the Baccarat Eternal lights with more than 1000s of crystals embedded in the 5m long chandelier. It’s just amazing to view and relax over the weekend. Museum of Ebisu beer is just right there but it’s closed for renovations until end of 2023.
Cool hangout spot, plenty of eateries and food trucks around, and if I'm not wrong it's also where Domuyoji waited in the rain for Makino in Hana Yori Dango, which you know, counts for something, right!? ;)
go up to the 38th floor for an incredible view. lots of restaurants up here so it doesn't feel awkward to hang out up here.
Went there on 31st December, 2022. Beautiful place. The palace building has unique and eye-catching structure. Winter illumination and the displayed chandelier was gorgeous!!

Designed by architect Kenzo Tange and completed in 1936, it houses the bicameral legislature of Japan, comprising the House of Representatives and the House of Councilors. The building reflects Japan's commitment to democracy and transparency. It serves as the official meeting place for legislative sessions and offers public tours, showcasing its remarkable architectural design.
We had the most brilliant tour from one of the guards. We were so grateful that even though we were slightly late, the tour guide let us in. The building itself is very interesting and it was great to hear about the Japanese history that has been made here.

Good guide with rare views of the national diet building’s various rooms.
We just showed up a couple of minutes before the tour started and we could join. A very knowledgeable tour guide. Best to go on foot from the station, lots of roads closed off by police.
This is a Japan National Congress building! It’s magnificent and stunning. Basically police officers do patrol around this facility. It’s calm and peaceful on weekends. When I walked by in front of the main gate, no body here other than police. I took pictures in front of the gate!!! It’s gorgeous building! You must come to see if you visit Japan!!! I like it!
The diet of Japan. The national diet of Japan in Kasumigaseki in Tokyo. Japanese parliament. Built in 1936. There are Emperor’s room and imperial family room inside.
The national diet building was built in 1936. There are many policemen around this building. I watched them carefully. They look so young, in their twenties. When a severe trouble occurs, maybe, they are victims on the trouble. I felt little blue when I passed by them.
It is just a quick visit and you get the chance of visiting the interior of the building. Tours only available in Japanese and English. The building is beautiful.
If you can actually get in, it is well worth a visit. A bit tricky as you have to fill in an application online. Our hotel helped us with our reservation. Be sure to take your passport with you. A lot of history went down here, but you should definitely read about it before the tour, as the guide was difficult to understand. The tour entrance is around the back of the building, and not very easy to find. There are two doors, and you do not want the “Upper“ house. Make sure you are at the lower house entrance. If you make it through all these hurdles, enjoy!

Very nice and popular Christmas Time attraction. The light show starts at 1700. The best part for my fellow travelers is that the train station is just underneath the is attraction. Lots of food options on the inside of mall but this little curry spot that I have posted pics of was they best curry in all of Japan if you ask me😋😋😋
Veeeery futuristic place 👀🤩🫣
Like a Future cities from computer games🚀🪐💫Amazing~
Home to some nice restaurants, especially on 46-47 floor. Recommended for dinner, especially on a clear night, you can see a very beautiful view of Tokyo Bay. In winter, you can see a beautiful winter illumination, recommended!
Lights were beautiful to see at night. The light show was nice, but very short. You can view the show from nearby shops or open places, but can also walk through the exhibit if you wait in line or queue. Once you make it into the show, you can stay for multiple shows.
Very beautiful place at Carrotte Shiodome. Alladin theme special musical+lights show every 15 minutes (Speechless song). Also special musical+lights show every hour for both songs "Speechless and A whole New World"
A nice office shopping mall, but nothing but the Starbucks and 7-11 is open on weekends. It is understandable as Shiodome is very quiet on weekends anyway.
This is one of the best places to enjoy illumination during Christmas time in Tokyo. The nearest station is Shiodome or Shimbashi. The illumination area is surrounded by lots of people. You can also enjoy Tokyo night view from the top for free in 46F of this building.

Large place with a lot of touristy shops to go to. This is a major destination for both Japanese and foreign tourists. Be sure to stop by ramen Street to try some delicious food or there's a different food row for other types of.
There's a character Street. Spend all your money on knick knacks and figurines and clothes based on your favorite Japanese culture characters.
Big station with so many trains-short story-you can load an electronic debit card like SUICA on your phone, use a credit card to fund it ( after you arrive in Japan). That lets you ride almost every thing by just swiping it when you get on and off. Even works for busses. The high speed Shinkansen require tickets that can be purchased from machines and there is usually someone in a uniform to help you.
I’m adding a pic of a Hello Kitty train we say in Fukuyama
One other note bus 7 takes you to the airport. To visit the town of Narita a little better to take the JR train. Japan Transit app shows you all the options easily but doesn’t let you buy tickets. Google app is great as you start your journey and will even give you transfer tips and maps.
Huge station will all kinds of shopping.
Our favorite part was the Pokémon Center and the Kirby Cafe.
We purchased the four pack of Kirby desserts and shared them with five people. They were all beautiful, cute, and honestly.....more style than substance. None of them tasted that good. They are definitely a gimmick, but they are very, very cute, gimmick with getting a boy whose favorite thing in the world is Kirby.
So, get them for the look and the experience, not the flavor.
Great place to buy popular cartoons and toys, as well as to taste the various ramen along the ramen street.
Incredible variety of restaurants and shopping. It’s like an underground city! If the apocalypse hits, you could happily live out your life in here.
This joint is more packed with people than anywhere else I've ever seen. And for a train station it's got better food options than any high-end part of town. Get stuck into it. 5stars

Observation deck
Shibuya Sky is a 360° open-air observation deck situated on the top of the Shibuya Scramble Square skyscraper, which is Tokyo's tallest building at 230 meters high. The observation deck consists of two floors: the sky gallery on the 45th floor and the sky stage on the 46th floor. The sky gallery is an enclosed area with cafes, bars, souvenir shops, and artistic video installations that showcase modern Shibuya.
We personally think that this is the best tower for great viewing experience over the city. We were in 2 towers before and this was definitely the best. Great view and a great experience. We were there in the morning. It was less crowded , I personally think that in the evening hours more people would come to visit. We couldn’t make in the evening because we were busy.
Anyway, a great experience and highly recommended.
If you have a disability card you and your companion will pay half of the price.

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 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…
We purchased our tickets on Klook and selected a time slot in advance, which was super convenient. The view from the top is absolutely amazing — you can see all of Tokyo! We came during the day on a weekday, and it wasn’t too crowded. I imagine the night view would be even more stunning if you come for a later time slot. Definitely worth a visit!
We went during late morning, so unfortunately we didn’t get to see the beautiful nighttime city. Great for kids and families. There is a long line that stretched all the way outside the building so make sure you come early. They only allow a certain amount of people in an elevator so come early and make a reservation online. Lots of beautiful photo taking spots and a long lawn/turf to take photos. When you are coming back, there is a lot of restaurants like sushi and soup dumplings. Not an overflow of people since there’s many restaurants to choose from but there is still a line. I would recommend going in the night because there is a such a beautiful view!!!!!!! We went during summer vacation (July 2025) and it was very hot 🥵 VERY NICE PLACE TO TAKE PHOTOS THOUGH!!!!! I would recommend this over Tokyo sky tree/tower because there is more to see in my opinion. (Attached is what you can see from Shibuya sky and the turf)
Shibuya Sky is absolutely worth the visit! The view from the top is incredible — you get a full 360° panorama of Tokyo, and if you’re lucky, you can even see Mt. Fuji in the distance. The rooftop area feels modern and spacious, with great photo spots and a relaxed vibe. I recommend going around sunset to see the city lights come alive. It can get crowded, but everything is well organized and smooth. A must-see when in Tokyo!
Beautiful view of Tokyo - technically not as high as the Skytree, but a much nicer experience considering the unblocked 360 degree view. Also, much less crowded!
NOTE: Getting night time tickets is difficult. I’d recommend going through the Official Site rather than Klook, as there’s later time slots available. Going between 5-6p will let you see the sunset.
The helipad is a sweet touch for photo taking. Next to it is a bar, and also an area to have professional photos taken on a sort of light-stage. They also give you the opportunity to take your own photos after they take theirs. Getting it taken is free, but you have to buy the printed photo later if you want it.

The East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, located on the inner east grounds of the Imperial Palaces in Tokyo, offer a vast historical landmark reminiscent of New York's Central Park. Despite being near bustling Tokyo Station, the gardens provide a peaceful oasis with large landscaped areas and remnants of Edo Castle's defense structures. In a city where green spaces are limited due to urbanization, these gardens serve as valuable outdoor space for urban residents.
There are extensive grounds, that are well maintained, that you can walk through. You could easily spend an hour or two just walking the entire grounds. That being said, there are not a lot of flowers in this garden. Our group was kind of looking forward to seeing some flower gardens, but there were no major ones. There are some benches. There are some rest areas near the bathrooms.

It is a historical garden in the Tokyo Imperial Palace. The gardens were first used by the Tokugawa shogunate. The garden was built on the grounds of Edo Castle. The building of the modern gardens began in 1961. The garden is over 210,000 square metres. The garden was completed in 1968. Gardens are well maintained and lovely blooms and manicured trees. Popular place, lots of tourists and locals. Picturesque place. Must see place. Uneven terrain, lots of walking. Wear comfy shoes, take water, wear hat, sunscreen. Great place for photography
So well manicured. I’m guessing the gardeners here are an elite team working for the palace.
Both my hubby and I loved the trees, the lawn, the fruit trees to name a few. Never fail to amaze us. We spent a total of 3 hours there and forgot the sun existed. We were hot, sweaty and exhausted when we finished. But…we were very happy.
Very beautiful! It was closed certain areas but we walked around the palace and still can enjoy it. There was a lot of security which I noticed with the imperial palace throughout Japan to enter they do inspection on bags, very nice. There is also a very pretty stamp inside a souvenir shop :)
Only the garden around the palace is accessible to the public. It is a very large area, extremely nice to walk around. There are fish in the water surrounding the palace and fruit trees everywhere around the grounds. The whole area is immaculately maintained. On the day of my visit, it was not too crowded thus the long walk was very enjoyable. A bit of a distance from the subway, so prepare for a lot of walking!
Maybe we were here during the wrong season, because i was not very impressed with the park. It was nice, and peaceful, but also felt bare and empty. We were lucky because we got to hear, and sort of see (by peeking through the bushes) that there was a police training in one of the buildings of the park. What I like about this park is that it reminds me in certain aspects of Central Park in New York. I say this because the park is in the middle of the city.
Expect lots of walking especially since we just went to the free entrance after security. Very serene, but lots of tourists. The shops were cute and there are enough bathrooms everywhere. Overall, if you’re looking for a place to just look at nature amidst this concrete jungle - this is it.
I loved this beautiful gardens! It's a lot bigger than I had expected. Well-managed and preserved. Also lots of benches and clean public toilets. Very people-friendly park in the center of Tokyo!

Shibuya Scramble Square is a modern mall that offers a mix of traditional Japanese crafts, French pastries, and various food options. The highlight of the building is Shibuya Sky, an observation deck located at 229 meters above ground level. This deck provides stunning panoramic views of Tokyo, including iconic landmarks such as Shibuya Scramble Crossing, Tokyo Tower, TOKYO SKYTREE, and even Mt. Fuji.
Shibuya Scramble Square is a super modern and stylish shopping spot right in the heart of Shibuya. There’s a big mix of stores, from high-end fashion to lifestyle goods and souvenirs, so it’s a fun place to just walk around and see what catches your eye. The food choices are great too, with everything from casual bites to cool cafes and nice sit-down restaurants.
It’s best known for having Shibuya Sky, the rooftop observation deck, but not everyone can make it up there because of tickets or time. The good news is you can still enjoy awesome views from the 12th or 13th floor where there are restaurants and bars that look out over the famous Shibuya Crossing. It’s a great option if you want to chill and take in the scenery without the extra planning.
Whether you’re there to shop, eat, or just explore, Shibuya Scramble Square is a great place to feel the modern vibe of Tokyo.

Shibuya Scramble Square is absolutely worth a visit while you’re in Tokyo. One of the main highlights is the view from the top, where you get to see the famous Shibuya Scramble Crossing from above. Watching the organized chaos of people crossing in every direction is surreal—it’s one of those things that truly feels like Tokyo.
🛍️ Shopping, Food & Coffee
The building itself is packed with great stores, restaurants, and coffee shops. So even if you don’t make it to the top, it’s still a really nice place to hang out and explore. But seriously, go to the top—it’s the star of the show.
🎟️ Get Your Ticket in Advance
If you’re planning to visit for sunset or late afternoon, I highly recommend buying your ticket ahead of time. Those time slots are popular and tend to sell out quickly. You don’t need to print the ticket—just show the QR code on your phone.
🧥 Dress for the Weather
If you’re visiting around late March, don’t take warm clothes—it can get pretty hot at the top during that time. Despite the weather, the experience is totally worth it.
🍹 What’s at the Top
Once you’re up there, you’ll find a bar with drinks. The food isn’t anything special—more like quick bites than a full meal—but it does the job if you’re just looking to enjoy the view with a drink.
There are also lockers where you can store your bags, because they don’t allow large bags upstairs—only your phone and wallet are allowed with you.
📸 Photos & Views
There’s a professional photographer stationed at a corner offering to take your picture with the view behind you. It looks fun, but honestly, the price was a bit high for what you get, so we passed on it. If you’re into souvenir photos, though, it’s an option.
🌇 Timing It Right
If you’re visiting during summer or warmer months, sunset would be the ideal time—just be aware those tickets go fast. The golden light and the city view make for a breathtaking scene.
Also, don’t miss the hotspot photo areas these are perfect for capturing those unforgettable views. You’ll find designated spots, usually in the corners of the building, where you can place your phone securely to take amazing photos or videos with the skyline behind you. The backgrounds are stunning, especially at sunset or nighttime when the city lights come alive. These little details make a big difference in your experience, so be sure to walk around and find the best angles—they’re totally worth it!
✨ Final Thoughts
Overall, Shibuya Scramble Square is a great place to visit for the views, the atmosphere, and the experience of being in one of Tokyo’s most iconic locations. It’s clean, modern, and full of energy. Don’t miss it!

The tallest building in Shibuya, standing at 230 meters tall, this modern skyscraper houses a diverse shopping complex, offices, and observation decks.
.
To no surprise, it's typically crowded.
A very nice and new mall that also housed the Shibuya Sky and observatory that overlook the area, giving you a clear view of the infamous Shibuya Crossing below. The mall is full of retail options and home to many Japanese handicrafts and crafts, which are intriguing and nice. Would love to buy them all! Haha. There were also some nice cafes and restaurants to choose from. Overall, it was a good shopping experience here.
Great experience but the crowds within 1h of sunset are wild. 1.5h+ waiting to enter just before sunset. You have unlimited time at the top to enjoy though!
Nice big mall with good selection of food places (12-14th floor) and lots of shopping.
If you are going to Shibuya Sky, come early - elevators took so long and it’s a big place so you can easily get lost.
Nice views.
Cool place to explore.
If you looking for food (bento etc) with good prices check out the B2F, how about groceries ? B1F is for you.
For expensive restaurants go right away at 12F and 13F.
Location: just next to shibuya station

Observation deck
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building North Observatory is a must-visit for tourists, offering stunning views of the city. Located at 202 meters above ground, this free public observation room provides an opportunity to admire the megalopolis that is Tokyo. While both the South and North Observation Decks offer beautiful views, the North tower is recommended for its extended hours and perfect night-time vistas. Visitors can also enjoy a lounge area and may even catch a glimpse of Mount Fuji on clear days.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building is one of those spots in Tokyo that often flies under the radar, which is surprising, considering it offers a free observation deck with panoramic views of the city (on a clear day, you can even spot Mount Fuji).
Unfortunately, when I visited, the city was wrapped in a thick fog, so the view was more atmospheric blur than skyline spectacle. That said, the experience was still worth it: the building is impressively designed, easy to access, and most importantly, not crowded at all.
A rare find in Tokyo.
Inside the observation deck, there's a small souvenir corner, some vending machines, and, for those who like collecting them, four official ink stamps to mark your visit. It’s a nice touch for stamp collectors or anyone who enjoys small, meaningful travel mementos.
If the weather cooperates, it’s a must for budget-conscious travelers who still want that “top of Tokyo” moment. But even on a foggy day, the calm atmosphere and lack of tourist chaos make it a worthwhile stop.

Great view on the top of the building. Access was quite easy, there was roughly a 15-20 minutes line but it was moving quickly.
The view from the top is definitely worth it so don’t hesitate to go up. It was free of charge.
Lastly at every half an hour, there was an evening lights show outside of the building. Awesome experience so don’t miss it
Second time to visit this observatory. The first time was in 2016. Things have turned very touristy here. Ground floor has grown a Tourist Information center. The elevator was filled well up with people before we took off. Once on the top, we were met with a large café area, a HUGE souvenir shop even a toilet and a potable water fountain. The windows where mount Fuji is visible when the weather is good, have now gotten a ramp installed (no idea why). Mount Fuji was semi-visible if one knew where to look at as it is located quite far away from Tokyo. In 2016 the things were simplier - no café area, no ramps(and no need for one as it is all flat…)or stairs for this matter…and definitely NO souvenir shop or a crowd to come in and out of the elevator. Still free of charge but it might change anytime soon. One could spot Tokyo sky tree from a distance.
AMAZING view from the 45th floor. Busy but organized keeping wait less than 30 minutes. Of course there is also a wait for going down the elevator. They have made a nice job with large windows, nice café and a boutique shop. This will be one of my highlights to see Tokyo
Fantastic views at Tokyo from 45th floor. We came in the afternoon and it was not crowded. You can see the city from all angles. It’s free to enter the floor. There is a gift shop and cafe available with reasonable prices. I definitely recommend!
This observatory is the best in Tokyo to see the endless Greater Tokyo area. Do not miss the video-mapping show at night! Free entry, well organized. Allow for 2 visits day/night! There is a gift shop with interesting items. No reservation need. No long waiting lines.
Amazing observation lookout on 45th floor all free. Monday and Thursday have free light show at night against the building and it is awesome set to music. Deck runs 930am to 10pm. Very cool.
Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building – North Observation Deck - F R E E
For photographers visiting Tokyo, the North Observation Deck of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building is an absolute gem — and it’s free! From the moment you step out of the elevator on the 45th floor, you’re greeted by sweeping panoramic views that stretch across the city skyline, with Mount Fuji visible on clear days.
As Photolator photographers, we were impressed by how well the deck is designed for capturing the city — wide, clean windows offer unobstructed shots, and the lighting at sunset turns the skyscrapers into a golden sea. At night, Tokyo’s lights come alive, making for incredible long-exposure opportunities.
Staff are welcoming and organized, and the space never feels rushed. There’s also a small café, perfect for a break while waiting for the perfect light.
Whether you’re a professional photographer or a traveler with a smartphone, the North Observation Deck delivers unforgettable cityscapes — and best of all, it’s one of Tokyo’s best free experiences.

Train station
Tokyo Station is situated in the old downtown area of the city, known as Shitamachi, which dates back to the 17th century. It is home to the Imperial Palace, Marunouchi business district, and upscale Ginza shopping and entertainment area. The neighborhood offers a more serene atmosphere compared to other trendy districts like Shinjuku and Shibuya. The station serves as a primary entry point for travelers arriving via Shinkansen or Narita Express.
Outstanding connectivity, excellent maintenance, and seamless access to nearly every part of Japan. The signage system is the best, you’ll find helpful signs at every step, making navigation incredibly easy.
My return flight was from Narita Airport, which is quite a distance from Haneda Airport. I took the Narita Express from Tokyo Station. It was super convenient and dropped me directly at Narita Airport Station, which is connected to the terminals. The frequency is good, and it’s one of the best options compared to taking a taxi or a bus.
Tanzim K — Google review
By far the most intricate and very well designed section of the Tokyo Metropolitan area. This building was very popular with crowds and still offered many great locations for shopping and dinning. The bustle of the building was very quick but the directions were almost always in English. This is a must see in Tokyo!
Tokyo Station is more than just a transportation hub—it is a historical and architectural landmark that represents the heart of Tokyo’s rail network. Conveniently located in the Marunouchi district, this station serves as a central gateway to the rest of Japan, connecting local JR lines, subways, and the Shinkansen (bullet trains) to major cities across the country.
One of the most striking aspects of Tokyo Station is its beautifully restored red-brick Marunouchi building, originally opened in 1914. The Renaissance-style architecture stands in charming contrast to the ultra-modern skyline that surrounds it. Inside, the design pays homage to its history while incorporating modern amenities and world-class efficiency.
Beyond transportation, Tokyo Station is a destination in itself. The underground shopping complex—Gransta and Tokyo Character Street—offers everything from gourmet bentos and local delicacies to exclusive souvenirs and character goods. Whether you’re a traveler or commuter, the station delivers a seamless experience with clear signage in English and other languages, clean facilities, and exceptional service.
Tokyo Station also provides direct access to important business and cultural districts, including the Imperial Palace, Marunouchi’s upscale offices and boutiques, and nearby Nihonbashi. Its connectivity and location make it an ideal base for both tourists and professionals.
Despite the hustle and complexity, the station is surprisingly navigable once familiarized, thanks to its efficient layout and helpful staff. It’s advisable to allow extra time during your first visit, especially if you’re catching a Shinkansen or transferring between platforms.
In summary, Tokyo Station is not only an architectural gem but also a marvel of Japanese engineering and organization. It exemplifies Japan’s attention to detail, respect for history, and commitment to quality service—making it a must-experience landmark in the capital.
Tokyo Station seamlessly blends historic charm with modern efficiency. Its grand red-brick Marunouchi facade dates back to 1914 and was meticulously restored in 2012, complete with elegant domes and neo-Baroque details—including eagle and zodiac sculptures. It’s a must-see landmark in the heart of Tokyo.
5 stars for the station, 3 stars for user errors!
First-time visitors—use Google Maps! The Metro and Train stations are stacked, and it can be daunting for newcomers. After one night (and three hours getting lost solo), one day facing my travel traumas, and another day making only minor mistakes—I finally feel confident I won’t get lost again.
It’s very complex for foreigners, yet incredibly organized and impressive. Pro tip: No talking on any rail system. It’s part of their culture to respect communal spaces—even if you’re shoulder to shoulder with five strangers during rush hour.
A must-experience—unless tight spaces and touching strangers aren’t your thing.
Crowded station confusing for foreigners, but the best to board a speedtrain (shinkanzen) or to go to Narita.
For shinkanzen or bus to Narita ask the taxi to go to Yaesu side. For Narita express train you have to go to the opposite Marinouchi side! Be at the station well in advance.
Speedtrains to various destinations depart every 10-15 min, do not bother with seat reservation. Nozomi cars 1-2 are not reserved, 1-6 Hikari, Kodama. You can board Nozomi with railpass (no check onboard). Every car has luggage space for large suitcases behind the first/last seat row.
There are small waiting rooms with AC and small shops on the platforms.
Buses to Narita depart from the Yeasu side bus station stand No 7 every 10 min (1500 JPY). Tickets are not sold in advance, same day tickets only. At nearby counter booth you can pay in cash or card. To buy ticket on the bus you need IC Suica!
For Narita express train it is best to buy in advance (reserved seat needed) at a machine assisted by staff, as it is tricky for foreigners (as online). The machines for Narita train tickets are placed on both sides of the station.
Crossing from one side of the station to the other is a long walk (10 min) in crowd, so arrive at the suitable side.
Tokyo Station is one of the busiest places I’ve ever been, but somehow it all runs like a well-oiled machine. It’s a perfect example of controlled chaos — thousands of people moving through the space, yet everything is clean, organized, and remarkably efficient. I was honestly overwhelmed at first, but once I took a breath and followed the signs, it all started to make sense.
The amount of food available inside is almost ridiculous (in the best way). PLENTY of options, which is on I believe the East? side of the station. Along with a row of giftshops, I forgot what they called it, but you can't miss it.
From quick snacks to full meals, you could easily get lost in the station’s many underground food halls and still not try everything. There’s a lot to explore, so arriving early is a smart move, especially if you're unfamiliar with the layout. It gives you time to find your platform, maybe grab a bite, and even store your bags.
Speaking of which, the locker system is amazing — easy to use and super convenient if you’re carrying luggage or shopping bags. I had a Shinkansen to catch, and the reserved seats were a lifesaver. I used a kiosk to print my ticket, which saved time and stress. Despite the crowds, Tokyo Station delivers a smooth, well-managed experience. It’s intense, but it works.
A huzzle and buzzle but practical station nearly 4 Millingen passengers pass by here every day the front is japo european style and the set up already was big. It is nearby the imperial palace and contains many shops lugguge lockers are harder to find that is to so say available ones

The mall is conveniently connected to the hotel I am staying. It's big, lots of shops and many good restaurants as well. Plus point for me is that it has pokemon center, bandai cross as well.
The sunshine 60 observatory is a very good alternative to skytree or shibuya sky.
Although it had the aquarium, I didn't get a chance to visit it.
Also, it's only 12 minutes walk from ikebukuro station and it even has an underpass straight to the heart of ikebukuro

If you're around the area with some free time then the aquarium can be a fun stop, but I wouldn't go out of my way to make a purpose trip solely around it. It's not huge by any means but they put in as much as possible. Was a nice way to kill an hour or two. It located on top of a big mall so there's plenty to see there too.
A big mall that is mostly known for the many and huge pokemon stores on the 3rd floor. If you are a pokemon fan this is a must visit.
I am not sure much of the other stores are worth a visit.
When we visited there was some kind of boy band performing, so that could be a possibility.
Loved visiting Sunshine City! There are so many merchandise shops to explore — from anime and character goods to fashion and cute souvenirs. It’s a great place to shop and spend a few hours indoors. Super convenient location and lots of choices for food too!
Been here 6 years ago. The place did not change. Great spot with children and good option to avoid the heat during summer. Price is totally correct. You can enjoy time in the sunshine city mall before or after, so it’s a top choice
With Sunshine City Prince Hotel here, visiting this mall is so convenient.
I’ve been here so many times now, rooms in Prince are still kinda small in comparison to most other Prince out there but you can’t go wrong if you want to live near a Mall like this one.
Come here for Crayon Shin-chan and Pikachu. Cute and fun. Very long Q if to buy Pokémon stuffs. We enjoy our team time at Cafe.
I came here for trying to play the biggest gatcha place in the Japan (as many people stated). To be honest, the location was still quite far from the nearest train station and the place was closing early.
If you also want to visit this biggest gatcha place, then you may need my info: They are 2 gatcha places in Sunshine City. The smaller one called gatcha gatcha no mori (if I remembered correctly) was located on either 1st or LG(sorry I forgot). This place closed at 8pm along with most of the stores inside like kiddyland, Pokemon etc. While the biggest one will close at 9pm and the restaurants inside will close at 10pm.
The gatcha place is really so big and there are lots of gatcha to play. My experience was just okay because I arrived quite late and only have around 1 hour to play before it closed. The place is clean but they don't have many staffs. Once, my gatcha ball didn't go out and it was hard to find the staff and when I found it, she asked me to wait because another customer already asked her for something (I managed to get my stucked gatcha ball at the end). In my opinion, you don't have specially to come here. There are lots of gatcha too at Akihabara.

Reasonable price for a quick sushi set around Kyobashi area.
People often spend 10-20 mins in the standing counter, and a bit longer when using the outside seats.
After 12:30 it could get crowded quickly.
Fish is okay, quite fresh.
Absolutely the best sushi I’ve ever had! We ate here three days in a row — everything was fresh and delicious. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel at home. On our last visit, they even gave us complimentary sushi and green tea. Can’t wait to come back next time we’re in Tokyo!
Stumbled upon this place leaving Kyobashi station.
High quality fish, very low prices for the area, friendly chef and staff. Definitely would recommend.
Google mentioned this restaurant open until 23:00pm but arrived at 21:20pm on 21/9, the restaurant was not offer any seat and told close now. What a mess?
The food was amazing as the staff. I can just truly recommend the restaurant.

Tokyo City View, located in the Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, offers a stunning panoramic view of Tokyo from its indoor and outdoor observation decks. Standing at 238 meters above ground level, visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of the cityscape, with the possibility of spotting iconic Mount Fuji on clear days.
Looking for a tower for a great view of Tokyo, look no further than Tokyo City View at Roppongi Hills.
For me this is the beat high viewpoint in the city. It's not a tourist trap like Sky Tree and has a bit more about it than the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building North Observation Deck.
We paid about 4,000 Yen for entrance fee and it certainly was worth it.
It didn't have crazy crowds of people and you could enjoy the space and the views without the madness of SkyTree.
Before buying our tickets a lady showed us a clipboard with images of what the view would look like as it was cloudy and wet. This is great to prevent any disappointments at the top.
There were a few art exhibits taking place at floor 52, which was great to explore in-between admiring the Tokyo skyline.
If you are looking for a quieter observation deck to see Tokyo's skyline, this is the place for you!
Antzarmy — Google review
Visiting Tokyo City View was a really nice experience. The observation deck offers panoramic views of Tokyo with floor-to-ceiling windows that wrap around the entire level, giving you multiple angles of the city.
I booked my ticket for 5pm, which I highly recommend—it’s the perfect time to watch the transition from daylight to sunset to night. Seeing the city gradually light up, with the Tokyo Tower glowing in the distance, was definitely the highlight.
If you’re into photography, this is a great spot with plenty of opportunities for stunning shots. That said, it’s mainly a sightseeing experience, so don’t expect much beyond the views themselves.
Overall, a beautiful way to take in Tokyo’s skyline, especially if you time it for sunset.
Amazing! Best view in Tokyo if you ask me. Went up at 4pm for sunset at 4:45pm. Staff very friendly and views were amazing. Able to walk around on the floor to get different views, including Tokyo Tower and Mt Fuji (on a clear day). Highly recommend this viewing platform above others.
Had one of the best sunset views in our lives here. We were able to see Mt Fuji and the Tokyo Tower. It can get a little crowded, but we managed to grab some seats and enjoy the view. Definitely won’t forget this evening!
One of the best place to view Tokyo Tower and take beautiful photos of it and with other landmarks, like Rainbow Bridge, Sky Tree, Haneda airport, even Mt. Fuji when the weather is good. It’s also easy to walk in and buy tickets as the spot, and not too crowded, unlike Shibuya sky where you must book tickets weeks ahead. I happened to find the Fire bird exhibition is on when I visited - another bonus for me. Unfortunately the deck closed at 10pm and in order to wait for the classic Tokyo Tower light during public holidays, I couldn’t go here for night pic, but it’s equally breathtaking during the day.
A nice city view from 52th floor. Entry price is 2,000 yen. Not so many people even on the weekend, and had a relaxed time there.
Nice experience. Enjoy the wonderful birw of blue sky with mountain, if you are lucky enough and the weather is good.
Buying tickets is a breeze and redeemed on site. Came around 7pm with excellent views of Tokyo tower and other parts of Tokyo
Good value overall and there’s a 360 degree view
Less people than Shibuya sky which is a big plus

Great spot if you’re a baseball fan—lots of energy, excitement, and team spirit in the air. But for someone like me, who’s not into baseball, it felt more like I accidentally wandered into a teenage reunion. So many young people around, I started questioning if I should be doing homework or downloading TikTok. Not really my scene, but if you’re into fastballs and youthful vibes, this place hits a home run.
Very comfortable and quiet.
Staff were very helpful and friendly.
Do visit the 43rd floor artists board.
My personal favourite "Perfume" is listed multiple times.
Enjoy great views of the Tokyo Dome and the rest of the Tokyo skyline.
A great place to shop and eat as there are many restaurants and retail outlets. In addition there is a roller-coaster, ferris wheel and other rides.
It glows at night just giving that holiday vibe. There is a lot of food, entertainment, hotels and stores around the place. All just walking distance, really connected. Also, there are 3 train stations within the walking distances
Went to the Giants vs. Carp game.
Incredible experience. The food selection was incredible.
Atmosphere was great. Very polite as well. Only cheering for the teams. No booing.
It's an area with a few rides next to the stadium, and various other attractions (indoor kids play place, haunted house thing), plus restaurants and shops. 3 stars because it can be confusing to navigate, especially with a baby in a pram (same for wheelchair users). The elevators are not straightforward to find and are often tucked away.
I found that to get to the shopping area from the play zone, I had to exit and walk along the busy road because the underpass only had stairs.
The food court area on 1F next to kids play place did not have enough seats for the number of food venues, but there are other restaurant options around.
This amusement park is not that big and it has indoor and outdoor rides. Adult and kids can enjoy. The roller coaster is a must try but if you’re afraid of heights that’s a no. They have many restaurants to choose
from.

An unforgettable (and free!) Tokyo experience!
Hard to believe that such a professional and well-managed observatory is completely free to visit! The panoramic views of Tokyo are truly breathtaking—even though I couldn’t catch Mt. Fuji due to cloudy weather, the experience was still remarkable.
What made the atmosphere even more special was the public piano—each performer played so beautifully, and the queue was organized very smoothly. Small details like a free water fountain and reasonably priced vending machines made the visit even more comfortable.
If you’re visiting Tokyo, this is a must-see spot! Can’t recommend it enough.

Not a lot of tourists know about this attraction, which is completely free!!
The observatory decks are as good as the other towers out there.
The wait to go up is minimal.
The fact that there is a public piano for performances makes it more mesmerizing.
There is a small cafe on the top, so you can easily chill while watching the view or the performers.
The night shows are also worth watching.
There are different songs and projections.
The building is quite close to a station.
Incredible nightly video shows with music on the building. Has a fantastic observation deck on the top of both buildings. On the ground floor there is a small mall with two of the best visitors information centers in Tokyo. Visit during the daytime to learn about Tokyo and overlook the city then visit at night to see show and a very different view from the observation deck.
Both North and South Observatory are at the 45th storey. The lift entrance is only at Building No. 1, ground floor. The lift takes 55 seconds to reach the top. Mount Fuji will be visible from both towers on a clear day. South tower has a grand piano open to public for performance from 10am to 12pm and 2pm to 4pm.
One of the best observation decks in Tokyo! We went up to the North Observatory only, and the view was absolutely amazing — and it’s free! We’re glad we came. Honestly, the North deck alone is enough; no need to visit both. Highly recommended!
Unlike incorrectly recommended Shinjuku L Sun Tower, the Metropolitan Government building has a free observation deck on the 45th floor. You can view almost every direction from there. The have gifts and refreshments for sale too. Highly worth the visit IMHO.
One of the best observation decks in Tokyo! The view was absolutely amazing — and it’s free! We’re glad we came. Honestly, the North deck alone is enough; no need to visit both. Also a small shopping area filled with cool trinkets such as Godzilla. Highly recommended!
It's an amazing free viewing platform!
South entrance has always short lines.
Come for stunning sunset views.
And dont forget to catch the light show, starting from 19.30...
This summer they have a nice grassy area to chill while watching.

Video game store
Store
Used game store
Super Potato Akihabara Branch is a vibrant store that specializes in vintage video games, consoles, collectibles, and candy. It is a spin-off of the renowned Super Potato located in Ikebukuro. Despite occupying a smaller space on a single floor, it boasts a well-maintained stock compared to its more famous counterpart. The store offers an intriguing selection of game music and is worth exploring for unique finds.
If you want to feel like you’ve just jammed a nostalgia IV directly into your veins, Super Potato is your place. Walking in here is like stepping into your childhood basement, except instead of your older brother yelling at you for beating his save file, there are rows of pristine retro games that’ll make your adult salary cry for mercy.
I walked in thinking, “I’ll just browse,” like a total idiot. Within ten minutes I was gripping a boxed Famicom copy of Dragon Quest III like it was my firstborn. The best part? Before making my financially irresponsible purchase, I sat down at their Pong table – yes, a table that plays Pong – and promptly lost to my travel partner, who now thinks they’re the reincarnation of Steve Wozniak.
The place is stacked floor to ceiling with old cartridges, consoles, strategy guides, weird gaming accessories, and enough plastic to build a small nation. There’s even a mini arcade on the top floor where a bunch of people were hammering away at retro cabinets under faux jungle vines, sweating out the calories from their konbini snacks. It smells like old circuits and victory.
If you’re even a casual gamer, Super Potato is a mandatory pilgrimage. You will walk out poorer but happier, clutching a little piece of your childhood while whispering “no ragrets” to yourself as you descend the stairs lined with Kirby posters.
Jim R — Google review
If you want to say you visited, then sure, go here. If you are serious about retro games, avoid. Crowded, extremely expensive (even by western standards). Most of the good games are either priced not to sell, or just not there. So much value to be found elsewhere.
I found Super Famicoms here 4x more expensive than other shops.
Walked by but luckily one in our party noticed the potato sign. Super Potato party indeed. Take the elevator to the 5th floor or climb the steep stairs. Walk into an arcade straight from the 80s. There is Die Hard in Japanese, X-Men, even a physical Pong machine. One giant Mario and a life-sized spec-ops soldier. Japanese treats from the 80s as well on sale here. This is quite a nostalgic treat for folks so check it out. Looks to be all 100yen coins each play so a good deal.
If you're a serious video game enthusiast, a visit to Super Potato is nothing short of a pilgrimage. This isn't just a store; it’s a living, breathing museum dedicated to the golden age of gaming, and the atmosphere alone is worth the trip.
Located in Akihabara, the store is famously cramped and stacked high with plastic-wrapped treasures, but that's part of its charm. The background noise of classic 8-bit tunes and the faint hum of old CRT monitors immediately immerses you in pure nostalgia.
The selection here is absolutely unmatched. Whether you are hunting for an obscure Famicom cartridge, a pristine Super Famicom console, or classic titles for the Nintendo 64, Game Boy, or even Sega Saturn and Neo Geo—they have it. The three floors are meticulously organized, offering everything from common classics to rare, high-value collector's items. Don't forget to check out the arcade section upstairs for a quick burst of retro gaming action!
While prices can lean toward the higher end, especially for rare titles and mint-condition boxed items, the joy of simply browsing and finding that one childhood game you forgot about makes it worthwhile. Plus, you’re paying for the experience and the guaranteed authenticity of their stock.
Super Potato is an essential stop in Tokyo. Bring your yen, be prepared to spend a while digging through the shelves, and enjoy the unparalleled hit of retro gaming goodness. Five out of five stars!
Lots of retro games and consoles. Small vintage gaming area on the upper floors. A little crowded but really cool to see older gaming items!
Super Potato felt like something from another world. After taking the lift up to the top floor, each floor had a different unique vibe. Some had a few guys hanging around playing arcade games, others were more like a small sweet shop, others were more like museums.
I can't comment on prices, but it was great seeing thousands of retro games and tech scattered everywhere, although the narrow corridors made it hard to navigate sometimes.
If you are in Akihabara, it is worth a visit. Clearly iconic. However. Very very overpriced, but still had a great selection of games and staff were friendly. There was a neat space on I believe the fifth floor. I only give it 3 stars due to pricing. I found better prices at resale stores basically anywhere else but who knows, you may very well find what you are looking for here.
Searched all over Japan for old VFD games, wasn't disappointed here and came away with one. There was another but I already have that back home. But Crazy Climbing is coming home with me for £30, boxed and in great condition 😁 These are over 40 years old so not a huge collection of VFD's unsurprisingly. The store itself has all sorts of stuff and well worth a visit.

Business center
The Shinjuku Nomura Building is a prominent skyscraper situated in the bustling Nishi-Shinjuku business district of Tokyo. Completed in 1978, this 50-story building stands at an impressive height of 209 meters. The top floors house chic and cozy establishments like HAGOROMO, offering a relaxing atmosphere with sofa seating and private compartments for couples seeking privacy.
If the main part of Shinjuku feels to busy, heading to the Nomura Building can give you a small break. There’s lot of restaurants to choose from and if you go before the peak time get a table will be easy.
Fenix D — Google review
50 story building with good restaurants on top with a decent view. You’ll hear a pop on your ears when this very fast elevator brings u up for about on the 40th story.
If you are nearby, it's a free viewpoint
Amazing view form this building. I was on 48th floor... Very beautiful view
Nice building that I bet you've seen if you've ever seen pictures of Tokyo! Large open spaces for working, and the restaurants on the top floors have great views. (They are also great Japanese restaurants - highly recommended if you get a chance to visit!) It's a nice feeling to go to a landmark like this and have a good experience, which I believe is likely for any of the reasons you might want to come here.
Love the Salvatore lunch buffet, downside is it's always crowded and the line to get food cuts into your actual dining time limit. The restaurants on the 49/50th floors have amazing views.
The Shinjuku Nomura Building is a skyscraper located in the Nishi-Shinjuku business district in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan. Construction of the 209-metre, 50-storey skyscraper was finished in 1978.
Excellent location for basement restaurants if you don't want to battle the crowds in Shinjuku. Ideal for visitors staying in Nishi-Shinjuku hotels. Alsi had a post office with an ATM that will take your international cash passport cards and give you money.

Observation deck
Perched on the 25th floor of the Bunkyo Civic Center, the Observation Lounge offers a stunning 330-degree panorama of Tokyo and its surroundings. From this vantage point, visitors can marvel at iconic landmarks such as Mount Fuji, Tokyo Skytree, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office. The deck provides an unobstructed view of the cityscape by day and a mesmerizing display of city lights by night.
Easy access with the metro and just a short cue to the escalator bringing us up to 45 floor. We visited a wednesday at around 10.30 am and it was not crowded. You can choose the south or the north tower. We chose the south. Amazing 360 degree view! Looking all the way to the mountains as well as the sea. It’s all for free. Will go back.
Marcus H — Google review
If you're looking for a quiet, lesser-known spot to admire Tokyo's beauty from a reasonable height, this is the place for you. I love that it’s not bustling with tourists or noisy. Bring a cup of coffee and enjoy the sunset as you take in breathtaking views of Tokyo's skyline and, on clear days, the northern mountains. If you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of Mt. Fuji.
You can access the observation deck directly from Kasuga Station. It’s free of charge and open until 8:30 p.m. However, please note that it will be temporarily closed starting March 1, 2025, so be sure to check if it's open before you visit.
Free!!!! An almost 360 view of Tokyo on the 26th floor. Hours are 9 to 8:30, not 7:30 to 9:30 as posted on Google. Lots of space here to rest. There are even drink machines.
Update (May 2025):
The Sky View Lounge on the 25th floor has been closed since 1 Mar 2025 for renovations and will only reopen in December 2026 😭. Hopefully it will remain a hidden secret (and still free) and will be an even better place to visit. I look forward to the reopening.
Original review:
Having visited Japan many times over in the past decade, I can't believe I've only discovered this gem! Free, uncrowded, quiet and if you're lucky with a cloud-free day, a gorgeous view of Mount Fuji.
The observation deck has toilets and seats, so you could literally spend the whole day here admiring the diorama of life passing by under you.
Pro tip: Mt Fuji is less likely to be hidden in clouds during the winter.
Tokyo’s hidden secret spot. The place is spacious compared to the Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Municipal Building Observatory. Also it is free to visit.
You can also see Fujisan on a fine day! It’s near Tokyo Dome.
Amazing observation lounge completely free of charge. We visited at around sunset and there were very few people and the lounge was very quiet. The location is easy to find. There are also toilets available and a coffee/drinks machine. You can forget about the paid and overly crowded observation decks in Tokyo and come here instead.
On clear days, you can even see a little bit of mount Fuji.
I would recommend coming sometime before sunset to enjoy both the sunset and the night view of Tokyo.
Free observation deck that was extremely quiet when we visited, seems like most people don't know about it. On a clear day you would be able to see Fuji off in the distance, but unfortunately we couldn't get a full view through the cloud/haze on the day we were there.
Great viewing lounge. If you are coming from the subway, just follow the signs to Bunkyo Civic Center. Once inside the building, find the elevator and go up to the 25th floor and it's there. It's free, wasn't crowded and super easy to get in (no need to ask for a visitor pass or anything like that).

Shinjuku Expressway Bus Terminal (Busta Shinjuku) may not offer the same breathtaking views as other skyscraper observatories, but its spacious pedestrian deck on the 3rd floor provides a charming view of iconic Shinjuku landmarks like Takashimaya Times Square and Docomo Tower. The deck is accessible 24 hours a day. The departure waiting room can get crowded, but ticket machines make purchasing easy, and information is well-presented.
I was traveling with 3 luggages from the station to Haneda Airport. It cost me 1400 for the ticket and charged my 3rd luggage of 700 or 50% of the tix price.
It took 30 min to Haneda. The first bus to haneda start at 04.00 and last bus at 22.50.
Bus comes every 20 mins.

I think most tourists who frequent Tokyo are very familiar with this bus terminal on the 4/F. Take the escalator up from the street level, there’s also a lift that goes straight up.
Buses go most places most often to kawaguchiko / fuji
Make sure you are not late as buses depart on the dot.
Also don’t go to the wrong berth , you can check the boards for the details
Went here to ride a bus to Shimoyoshida and Kawaguchiko. Very efficient, clean and timely. Prices are very reasonable and is actually cheaper than using the trains (if you don't have a JR Pass of sorts). There are 2 konbini where you can buy food to take with you in the bus.
Need to get to Narita airport? We used this service - punctual, efficient and comfortable! Luggage included in price 3,600 yen.
The Shinjuku "Buster" long distance bus terminal is convenient for reasonably comfortable access at reasonable prices to many Japanese cities and towns. Buy food for your journey on the 2nd floor, since the convenience store is crowded on the 4th floor where the bus departure lounge is located.
If you are arriving 3rd floor), check out the tourism kiosk if you want free information on Tokyo. Turn right for taxis. Shinjuku JR train entrance is on the 2nd floor.
If you are arriving by cab, you need to go upstairs to get to the bus departure lounge.
We use frequently busta, especially the Odakyu bus round trip service from Hakone to Shinjuku. The place is well maintained, amazing service and convenience store is nearby. Have a good trip✨

That was supposed to be a Wiener coffee. Either it had very few whipped cream, or it had melted down already. In both cases it was disappointing
Quiet calm little cafe in the middle of a fiant loud chaotic tech store. Nice juxtaposition
Very good service and hospitality. The coffee is very suitable for those who have coffee addiction. It is very strong for the hot coffee. Meanwhile the cafe latte is very creamy😍
Food is great . The only issue it was extremely hard to find. So when you searching for the Cafe you need to enter the technology building and use elevator to come to the 4th floor.
nice service. ham-egg toast is good for breakfast. pancake is required to wait 20mins, drink comes along with food.
Always visit every time travel in Japan.

Great place to read a book and have coffee (they have Starbucks on the second floor). A lot of people were studying and working too. Washroom outside the bookstore was nice and the train station is literally outside the building when you step out. Nice place to hangout and purchase/browse through books 😊
Nice place to chill-out, with a Starbucks inside. Very small selection of books in english, you can get your Murakamis.
Not worth any detour though.
"A cozy gem right across Tokyo Station! I love grabbing a book and a coffee here – before I know it, two hours have flown by. The perfect spot to unwind after work while waiting for the station crowds to thin out."
The stylish bookstore appeared on the 3rd and 4th floor of the Marunouchi building. There used to be a great interior shop, so I am very sad. We can use the shared lounge and Starbucks. This Share Lounge is spacious and comfortable, and you can see a beautiful view of the Tokyo station from the window seats. It’s a little bit noisy because many people are doing some business or discussing with each other.
Stumbled upon this by accident and had the best time! For a small price you can get the “soft drink” entry, get a table, desk or couch seat, have free wifi and free snacks, tea, drinks, nuts, muffins etc. And lots of books to browse. Very quiet and calm. Amazing stop for a rest during a busy day
A cool place I was here specifically to look for JSCENT perfume. They have books, coffee, co working space (paid) and more worth checking out
Very very nice view.

Nijubashimae Station is conveniently located in the neighborhood of Tokyo Station, with a direct connection to Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line and just a 5-minute walk from Exit No.5 on Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line. The area around the station features Gyoko street, known for its luxury stores and excellent restaurants. During the summer, visitors can enjoy the sight of water displays along the street and make use of public benches and tables for relaxation or work.
The air feels regal — guarded moats, stone bridges, and the hush of reverence. Joggers, tourists, and guards all share the same respectful silence near the Imperial Palace. The Chiyoda Line glides beneath like a whisper under centuries of watchful calm.
Tourist Tip:
Short walk to Imperial Palace gardens; arrive early for morning light over the bridges.

In the neighborhood of Tokyo station. Gyoko street is one of the bests luxury passages in Japan. You can see a lot of luxury stores and awesome restaurants. When I took these pictures in this summer the street looks cool with the splayed water. We were able to sit and work freely on the public bench and table. I highly recommend coffee and finger food providing by the kitchen cars. Everything is cool and yummy.
Get down here for a lot of places including imperial palace and the underground gallery of Tokyo station. Connected to many Subway, JR and other station via underground walkways.
Under my impression this station is not so much used frequently, but it is very much convenient if you take this station into your option whenever you come around Tokyo Central Station.
Nice services!
Surprising place full of small shops and coffee shops.

They don’t do fresh bakeries anymore, like they used to a year ago. Also it’s now too crowded. Don’t expect to grab an external monitor (or a monitor equipped seat) unless you come right at the open.
The one in Roppongi was an excellent quiet workspace. But this one, very bad receptionist telling me it’s closed when I can see free seats in different areas. If it is really fully booked, at least say so politely. No need to be rude.
Very cool space that you can go work or just relax with some drinks. The view of the famous Tokyo Station is amazing. Also, it’s right next to the bookstore or inside of it. A truly unique lounge.
Great share lounge, though I much preferred the one in Shibuya!
Pretty nice selection of drinks and snacks and very cosy vibe

Although the store is small, it has a decent selection of items, mainly items under 500 yen such as food, drinks, miscellaneous goods such as stationery and umbrellas, cosmetics, and socks and innerwear.

There were a lot of drinks and snacks inside the store, so I thought it would be more like a convenience store, but unfortunately the store opens at 10:00, which is outside of working hours.
We also carry seasonal patterns, warm socks and T-shirts.
There is also a water server in the store, so if you bring a tumbler or something, you can refill it.
There were other lotions as well, so I think it would be good for Muji users who often use the Sobu Line Mitaka area during the day.

季節柄、暖かい靴下やTシャツも取り扱っていました。
店内にはウォーターサーバーもあり、タンブラーとかを持参すれば給水できるようです。
他にも化粧水とかがあったので、日中に総武線三鷹方面をよく利用する無印ユーザーには良いのではないかと思います。

(Translated by Google) You can get some snacks during your transfer. There are a lot of foods and drinks that you won't find at other stores, and there is a wide variety. It's quite interesting to see MUJI's unique uniform packaging lined up all over the wall.

Guidance A — Google review
(Translated by Google) It is located right near the Shinkansen ticket gate.
So convenient! But the number seems to be small.
Touch the watermelon and there is a ``Print'' button to the left of the displayed information, so press it and your seat number will be printed on thermal paper.
It's also a good idea to print it out just in case there are duplicate seats or someone else is sitting.
It might even become a memory.

新幹線改札のすぐ近くにあります。
こりゃ便利！だけど台数が少ないような。
スイカをタッチして、表示された内容の左側に「印刷」ボタンがありますので押すと感熱紙で座席番号が印刷されて出てきます。
万が一、座席重複とか誰か座ってたりしたらの念のために印刷しておくのも手です。
思い出にもなるかも。

Mentioned on
Toranomon is a bustling business district in Tokyo, home to the headquarters of various companies and government-affiliated corporations. It's often referred to as a hub of government-related activities, similar to Nagatacho and Kasumigaseki. The area boasts Tokyo's tallest skyscraper, Toranomon Hills Mori Tower, which stands amidst a modern skyline characterized by high-rise buildings. This district is also known for its luxury lifestyle hotel, Andaz Tokyo, located on the tower's highest floors.
Mentioned on
Kasumigaseki, situated in Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward, is renowned as the hub of Japan's cabinet ministry offices. Often symbolizing the Japanese government bureaucracy, it stands in contrast to Nagatachō, which represents the elected government or legislative branch. This district ranks as one of the least populated wards due to its primary occupation by the Imperial Palace grounds and government districts of Nagatacho and Kasumigaseki.
