So awesome. Highly recommend as there is no fee to go to observatory. Might have to wait in line, but it went extremely fast. Thankfully it was a sunny clear day; can see Mt Fuji

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building's observation deck is a skyline game-changer. With stunning panoramic views of Tokyo, it's like having the city at your feet. The best part? It's free! The modern architecture and the sprawling cityscape below make it a must-stop for anyone wanting an epic Tokyo view without breaking the bank. A solid choice for skyline enthusiasts and budget-conscious explorers alike. If you’re lucky you can Mt. Fuji 🗻

Wir mussten zu unserer Überraschung nicht warten und waren innerhalb von 15 Minuten im 45. Stock auf der Aussichtsplattform. Das Wetter war schön und so hatten wir einen wunderbaren Rundblick auf das riesengroße Tokio.

My second time visited this place, finally I am able to make it on my desired timing, 👌. Before sunset time, we arrived at 4:30pm and spent 1 hour within the observatory desl, chasing a stunning view of MT FUJI and central tokyo. It is free and worth it the time. 8-10 mins walk from JR Shinjuko station.

What a perfect 2023 Christmas Day viewpoint around midtown Tokyo Japan

An amazing observatory in Shinjuku area. The entry is free. You would have to line up to enter but the queue passes fast. I would recommend arriving before sunset so you can get in and enjoying the amazing golden hour view of the surrounding area. I was fortunate enough to get a view of Mt Fuji (It looks tiny) from here.

A bargain hidden in plain sight. The observatory atop the 6th tallest building in Tokyo is free to access and offers spectacular views of the city - and on clear days as far as Mt Fuji.

There's a observatory at the very top. It's free to go but can get very busy after 12pm. It's so cool that there's a piano on the same floor as the observatory where someone can play to the crowd. Such a cool atmosphere. There's windows all around where you can see all sides of Tokyo. There's also a Cafe if you need a drink.

Fantastic views on whole Tokyo from this indoor observation deck - entrance is for free and there was no queue to enter. Even during sunset there was plenty of space inside

There are three floors available to the public: 1F, 2F, and 45F.
Floors 1 and 2 are mainly informational. There is a cafe on floor 2 and an information booth and the elevator to floor 45.
Floor 45 is a souvenir shop and the observation deck.
It lets you view the surrounding area.
The view is fantastic. It must be more mesmerizing at sunset and at night. Unfortunately, it may be difficult to actually see as it gets extremely busy later into the day.
It is free so I would recommend visiting.

The views are really nice. You could get some cool souvenirs up there too. I recommend coming early or late in the evening to avoid the queue. The queue was about 20mn each for going up and coming back down for me. There is also a nice park close by that you enjoy after visiting this building.

Free observation deck at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building is a great way to get an overview over the city of Tokyo. The observation floor gives you a 360 degree view and on a clear day you can even see Mount Fuji. Must visit, especially when traveling on a budget. There is also a caffee and a small souvenir shop

Spectacular observation platform that is free of charge 😊 Beware of the opening hours that are usually updated on the official website.

📷 Tip for photographers: My photos did not turn out great as they were from a very cloudy day during the summer and it was cloudy during the whole trip … Either visit on a clear day (if you are lucky with the weather) because you may get a chance to see Mt. Fuji or even better during Golden Hour. Alternatively, if you prefer the skyline at night, you can visit after sunset. Just be aware that last admission is at 21:30 and the observation deck closes at 22:00.

Great place to visit while in Tokyo. The observation deck located 202 meters high has free access, very well organized, Japanese style. You are guided at the elevator on the way up and same goes on the way down. The elevator goes directly there, no stops in between. Please be considerate and don't jump the line, tourists might be used with that but locals don't and being in their country you should always follow the local rules.
The views from the deck are great, 360 degrees with big windows all around. Not very crowded and as a bonus there is a piano where volunteers, mostly very talented children play short pieces.
Right in the middle there is a souvenir shop offering all kind of beautiful Japanese merchandise.
If you are lucky to get there on a clear day, you can see very far having a better picture of how waste Tokyo is.
There are water fountains with cold water and also clean washrooms a level lower, very clear marked so you cannot miss it.
You might get better views from Skytree or Tokyo Tower but there you have to pay an access fee.

This place was easy to find and get to, very close to a cute park and the subway. Building was immaculate and workers were extremely polite and pleasant. The wait to get on the elevator was <5 minutes. After a 55 second elevator ride to the 45th floor, you are greeted with gorgeous views of the city in all directions. Best part is that the entire experience is FREE! Highly recommend!!

What a spectacular priceless view of Tokyo. This a must do experience in Tokyo. The space is quite ample and the views are spectacular throughout the day. I came here twice and the sunset was absolutely remarkable. You can see Mt. Fiji on a clear day and witness the sunset behind the mountain. There is a piano that brave pianists approach to play soothing music.
