What other travelers are saying about Roppongi Hills Tokyo City View
Visiting Tokyo City View was a really nice experience. The observation deck offers panoramic views of Tokyo with floor-to-ceiling windows that wrap around the entire level, giving you multiple angles of the city.
I booked my ticket for 5pm, which I highly recommend—it’s the perfect time to watch the transition from daylight to sunset to night. Seeing the city gradually light up, with the Tokyo Tower glowing in the distance, was definitely the highlight.
If you’re into photography, this is a great spot with plenty of opportunities for stunning shots. That said, it’s mainly a sightseeing experience, so don’t expect much beyond the views themselves.
Overall, a beautiful way to take in Tokyo’s skyline, especially if you time it for sunset.
Tokyo City View is the indoor observation deck on the 52nd floor with enclosed viewing areas. The Sky Deck is the open-air rooftop on the 54th floor without glass barriers. The Sky Deck costs an additional ¥500 and closes during bad weather.
Combination tickets for ¥2,500 include both Tokyo City View and the Mori Art Museum on the 53rd floor. Standard observation deck admission alone is ¥2,000.
Plan 45 minutes to 1.5 hours for the observation deck only. Add 1-2 hours if visiting the Mori Art Museum. Arriving 30-45 minutes before sunset allows viewing in both daylight and darkness.
Mount Fuji is visible on clear days, most reliably during winter months. The mountain is 100 kilometers away. Early mornings offer the best visibility.
Personal photography is permitted throughout both decks. Tripods and monopods are not allowed. Commercial photography requires advance permission.
Amazing! Best view in Tokyo if you ask me. Went up at 4pm for sunset at 4:45pm. Staff very friendly and views were amazing. Able to walk around on the floor to get different views, including Tokyo Tower and Mt Fuji (on a clear day). Highly recommend this viewing platform above others.
Looking for a tower for a great view of Tokyo, look no further than Tokyo City View at Roppongi Hills.
For me this is the beat high viewpoint in the city. It's not a tourist trap like Sky Tree and has a bit more about it than the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building North Observation Deck.
We paid about 4,000 Yen for entrance fee and it certainly was worth it.
It didn't have crazy crowds of people and you could enjoy the space and the views without the madness of SkyTree.
Before buying our tickets a lady showed us a clipboard with images of what the view would look like as it was cloudy and wet. This is great to prevent any disappointments at the top.
There were a few art exhibits taking place at floor 52, which was great to explore in-between admiring the Tokyo skyline.
If you are looking for a quieter observation deck to see Tokyo's skyline, this is the place for you!
