Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building North Observation Deck

This place had free admission for the public. Sadly, it was foggy and rainy on the day of visit so the view was restricted.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building Observation offers nor just free entrance but also a souvenir shop that sells unique souvenir for travelers to bring home. I love the commemorative coin machine that you can engrave your name and date of your visit for free. the coin can also be a key chain or a necklace. the Observation deck room comes with a coffee shop as well so you can conveniently rest while viewing pme of Japan's tallest building. the place is also conveniently located across our hotel which is Keio Plaza Hotel. very convenient to locate

Its awesome! Whats more it is frree. You can catch the view and also see mount fuji if it decides to show up. Definitely worth going up since it is free. Is also easy to get there! Theres a souvenior shop upstair where you can buy some cute japan souvenior, definitely recommend it!

It's the best place to get a panoramic view of Tokyo! The Tower of Tokyo, the Tower of Clear Sky, the Temple of God and Mount Fuji are all at a glance! It takes about a kilometer to get off from Shinjuku Station without tickets, as long as you queue quietly and enter the elevator in sequence! The same is true down! Only the elevator will be one floor higher than the elevator on it (maybe for diversion!).

When you get off at Xinju Station, you can walk for about 15 minutes according to the sign, or you can take the short-distance bus at the gate of the station. The twin towers are very beautiful. They are divided into two outlook halls, the South and the north. They are open to the public free of charge. The North outlook hall is closed at 11 p.m. There are many skyscrapers in the vicinity of the metropolis under the blue sky and white clouds.

A bird's-eye view of the whole Shinjuku area, it feels super cool. But when you go, you must bring polarization lens, because there is glass, so it is not very good to take pictures. And if you go outside of working hours. Take the elevator from the negative first floor. We went there at 9:30. The doors were closed and we looked for the entrance for half a day. There are also various souvenirs and cakes on the viewing platform. It's slightly more expensive than other places, but think about the price of things on the top of Mount Huangshan and Mount Tai. It's much more conscientious here. Again, it's free here.

Shinjuku is the most popular scenic spot in China, but it is a strange scenic spot with very few Chinese, but many crooked nuts. Maybe we are numb to high-rise buildings. No tickets are required to come to the Prospect Hall, but there is a security check on the first floor. After the security check, you can take a direct elevator to the Prospect Desk. Prospect hall is surrounded by large glass, used for photography, the middle part is mainly commercial, selling small souvenirs and other attractions. Personally, it's better to watch it during the day. I queue up in the evening to see the sun go down. It feels normal. The lights in Tokyo are not particularly beautiful. The main reason is that there is glass reflection in the evening, but it is not good to take photos. It would be better to come and look at the distance in the daytime. Finally, if you come at noon, there is also a Japanese civil servant canteen where you can go to eat, which is quite different from ours. There will be no dinner time, otherwise we can enjoy the treatment of civil servants.

Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building is the headquarters of Tokyo Metropolitan Government. From the observation deck on the 45th floor, you can overlook Tokyo. Not only can you see Shinjuku Gyoen, Imperial Palace, Meiji Jingu Shrine, Yoyogi Park, Tokyo Tower, etc., but also can see the spectacular scenery of Tokyo Bay Rainbow Bridge and the beautiful Mount Fuji when the weather is clear. It is open as usual during holidays except New Year. This is the only place in Tokyo where you can see the night view for free. When I arrived at Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, I almost walked to the office, and then an old man showed us how to climb to the top to see the night view. The old man didn't understand English, and he talked to us in Japanese and gestured for a long time before we understood. I really appreciate it. In fact, you can find it by following the instructions, but there are few people on the road and not many people climbing to the top, so I didn't pay attention to the signs. Follow the signs and you can get in. After entering the city hall, you have to open your bag for security check, but it seems that it is not strict, just take a look and let it go. Then we took the elevator to the 45th floor. There are service staff everywhere, mostly elderly people, very elegant elderly people, with a kind attitude, guiding tourists. The night view of Tokyo from the observation deck is really stunning. But because it is indoors, the lights are very strong, and the camera can't take good photos because of the reflections of people indoors. But there is a dark cafe, which is suitable for taking photos, but it costs money. You must pay to enter. We didn't go in. After that, we looked for a while and left.
