What other travelers are saying about Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building
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.
You can get very nice views from the top of the building. Entrance is completely free which is very nice. There is a good selection of souvenirs on the top floor. Also, you can get refreshment there and take some dessert or drink. No freshly squeezed juices tough, so thats the only drawback for me. Overall, a nice experience for a short time that we spent there.
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!
Great observation deck, and free too which was a bonus. We waited around 20 minutes for the lift up at around 3pm, but was well worth it. The gift shop was actually very good with some nice items I hadn't found in the other tourist places. The views were fab and we enjoyed a soft serve ice cream from the cafe too. Good for a free observation view, would recommend.
