Tokyo City View, the observatory on the 52nd floor of Roppongi Hills.
This is Tokyo's most popular observation deck, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the endless Tokyo nightscape from 250 meters (820 ft) above sea level.
Key highlights in each direction include:
- North
- Shinjuku's high-rise district, Shinjuku Gyoen, National Art Center, and the illuminated cityscape of Chiyoda ward
- East
- Tokyo Tower, Rainbow Bridge, Tokyo Gate Bridge, and the Minato ward streetscape
- West
- Mount Fuji, Shibuya's skyscraper district, and the flow of traffic along the Metropolitan Expressway
The rooftop Tokyo Sky Deck on the 54th floor is also worth visiting for an open-air experience while taking in the downtown nightscape.
The same floor hosts exhibitions and houses the Mori Art Museum.
Since you can enjoy both nightscapes and seasonal events, consider timing your visit with exhibitions or events that catch your interest.
