Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building

Why go

Visit to orient yourself in the city and appreciate the density of Tokyo’s neighbourhoods from above. The twin-tower civic complex is also a striking part of Shinjuku’s skyline. Because the observation spaces sit inside government buildings, check which observatory is operating and allow for entrance procedures rather than assuming unrestricted access.

What to look for

• Elevated views across Tokyo
• The distinctive twin-tower headquarters
• The western Shinjuku high-rise district

Useful to know

• Confirm the operating observatory and entry location before arrival.
• Allow a buffer for lifts and entrance queues.
• Use a clear day for distant views, or evening for the illuminated city.
