Because there are no obstructions in the surrounding area, the view is breathtaking no matter where you look.
The view at dusk, when the sky changes color from moment to moment, and at night, when the city is illuminated, is particularly dramatic. The Sky Deck on the rooftop is also a great place to enjoy stargazing.
For the best of both worlds, check out the Sky Gallery that is used as a venue for exhibitions located on the indoor observation deck, which allows visitors to enjoy pop culture while enjoying a panoramic view of the city of Tokyo.
