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.
One of the best observation decks in Tokyo! 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. Also a small shopping area filled with cool trinkets such as Godzilla. Highly recommended!
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.
visited here for like 2 times. There was a queue for the eleveator but the staffs are attentive and fast (maybe 5min waiting time) It is free of entrance. It is a great place to hang out and watch the scenery. I suggest going here around 5pm so that you can witness both the sunset and city lights, and if you’re lucky maybe you can see the Mt. Fuji if there is a good visibility. They also have a cafe and souvenir shop. They also have a light show at night.
Tip: If you’re collecting stamps, they have one here.
A very well organized place with beautiful campus surrounding the building. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to visit the observatory deck as there was a big queue for it but I got to enjoy the light show that is projected onto the building in the evening.
