Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building Observation Deck

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, located in Shinjuku, is Tokyo’s centralized administration complex, comprised of three buildings: the First Main Office Building, the Second Main Office Building, and the Metropolitan Assembly Building. The First Main Office Building is home to a 45th floor Observation Deck, which is accessible by dedicated elevator on the 1st floor. In just 55 seconds the dedicated elevator will whisk you into the skies, to a height of 202 meters above ground and the sprawling view of Tokyo below.

After getting tired from walking around Shinjuku, it was perfect to come up here to take a break and enjoy the view. For first-time visitors to Tokyo, it’s a nice beginner-friendly spot.

You can really feel Tadao Ando's architectural style here. The building is made from a million scallop shells, all pieced together by hand. It's a great example of harmony between the natural environment and living spaces.

Whenever work wasn't going well during my time in Japan, I would visit Heikenji Temple to pray for good luck. I think that's why Kawasaki Daishi is always so busy with worshippers—it really feels like it works.
