What other travelers are saying about Telecom Center Observatory
Now this is s hidden gem of observation decks! Last time I was here, it was only me for the half an hour I’ve spent taking photos like a maniac and one other couple. Granted, I was there during the week and around midday but it was also during Golden Week, so should be packed same like all the other areas. So if you wanna take some more scenic photos of Tokyo in peace and/or relax on massaging chairs, there’s no better place anywhere.
Frequently Asked Questions
Take the Yurikamome Line to Telecom Center Station, which connects directly to the building. Alternatively, use the Rinkai Line to Tokyo Teleport Station and walk approximately 10 minutes to reach the observatory.
Admission costs 500 yen for adults and 300 yen for children. This makes it one of the more affordable observation decks in Tokyo compared to major alternatives like Tokyo Skytree or Tokyo Tower.
The 21st-floor observatory offers 360-degree views of Tokyo Bay, the Rainbow Bridge, Tokyo Tower, and the Odaiba waterfront area. On clear days, you can see Mount Fuji to the west and observe both historic central Tokyo and modern waterfront developments.
No, the observatory typically has far fewer visitors than Tokyo's more famous observation points. This makes it ideal for photography and quiet viewing without the crowds found at Tokyo Skytree or Tokyo Tower.
Amazing views. Lots of couches and places to sit. Free massage chairs that actually work really good. Nice place to relax and you could even spend the day studying here.
Observation deck on the 21st floor. Costs ¥500 for an adult, but there are free massage chairs and telescopes available. Was a great last stop for my trip to Odaiba after walking around the entire day (the massage chairs felt heavenly). Was nice and quiet and not crowded at all during the weekday.
Great vantage point (costing yen500 pp) to look out over Tokyo , Haneda Airport (planes taking off) and the harbour. Very few people there-no crowds. Unfortunately starting to look a little run down (the cafe is permanently closed and some chairs are rather worn). Still recommend as the place has great views. Binoculars are free to use.
Beautiful view, free massage chairs, free observation telescope and for such a great price! It is totally worth the travel. At sunset it is gorgeous. Fun tip: leave your phone next to the window on the west side (because that is the one with a street) and take a hyperlapse video. You can wander around as your phone does the job (and no one touches your phone). Come back an hour later and see a beautiful work done. Do it at sunset and it gets even better.
