I recommend booking SHIBUYA SKY tickets online well in advance because it gets really crowded. The route there can also be a little confusing, so arrive early to avoid missing the sunset.
The rooftop has an outdoor area, and relaxing there while watching the sunset is wonderful. The escalator is also a must!
So, when you go up in the elevator, there’s this video segment, and wow, I honestly thought it was so well done.
Right after the video ended, we arrived at the top.
So awesome.
Too bad I can’t share the video, but I’ll leave that as a surprise for you guys.
The view wasn’t great that day though, so I’ll spare you my photos.
I really wanted to see the sunset, but all the afternoon time slots were sold outtttttt, which was seriously so unfair because we had the morning slot...
But it was pretty comfortable up there, and the sofas were great.
There were also people helping take photos, and on the way down there were quite a few souvenirs to buy.
Once I see something limited edition, I seriously want to splurge.
The ticket really isn’t cheap, but I think if you catch the sunset, it must be absolutely gorgeous.
I’ve seen so many super pretty videos online.
Such a shame I didn’t get to see it.
Looking out over Tokyo from SHIBUYA SKY is an amazing experience. The open-air observation deck gives you an endless view that makes you feel like you’re blending into the sky. The biggest highlight is being able to see both Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Skytree in the same view.
I especially recommend booking an evening time slot so you can enjoy both the sunset glow and the city lights coming on.
When it gets crowded, it feels pretty packed. You have to wait in line for all the popular photo spots, which really slows the pace down. There are also lines for the elevator and entry, so the whole experience ends up taking quite a bit longer.
A full 360-degree view with no blind spots. On a clear day, you can even see Mt. Fuji.
Sunset is the most popular time slot. You need to book and buy tickets online in advance, and it’s hard to get tickets on the day of your visit. Definitely something to keep in mind if you plan to come here.
The overall design feels really refined. It’s not just about the view—the layout and the space itself are very comfortable too.
It feels more modern than places like Tokyo Tower, so if you love urban night views, you’ll probably like this place even more.
Security is pretty strict, and having to keep checking your things and putting them in storage is a bit of a hassle.
In the end, it’s mainly just about the night view, so I wouldn’t say it’s a must‑visit.
You can get a bird's-eye view of all of Shibuya from up here. On clear days, you can even see Tokyo Tower and Mt. Fuji in the distance.
I visited on March 13, 2024, at 10:40 AM. I thought it would be easier for the staff if I printed out my online ticket, but they only checked the digital version on my phone. So I recommend having the file ready on your phone. The weather was great that day, and I could see Mt. Fuji. There weren't many people in the morning slot, so it didn't feel crowded at all.
The best time to visit Shibuya Sky is about an hour before sunset. That way, you can enjoy the daytime view, watch the sunset, and then see the city light up as night falls. It's a romantic way to experience Tokyo from day to night.
