A solo traveler can linger over 360° night vistas, contemporary art shows, quiet Wi-Fi cafés, and garden walks; long operating hours and clear elevators make an independent visit smooth and rewarding.
Why 1-2 hours visit duration is ideal for solo trip: Gives you time to see the observatory, art museum and a quick garden stroll without rushing.
Tokyo City View Observatory:
Ride the elevator to 52F for a 360° panorama of Tokyo, including Tokyo Tower and Mount Fuji on clear days.
Tip: Buy tickets online to skip the queue. Visit at dusk for sunset and city lights.
Mori Art Museum:
Explore rotating contemporary art exhibits on 53F at your own pace.
Tip: Check the museum website for current exhibits and free gallery talks.
TV Asahi Atrium:
Browse free display sets and catch live show recordings in the open atrium.
Tip: Head here between filming schedules (late morning) to avoid crowds.
Mori Garden Stroll:
Walk the 4,300 m² traditional garden at the tower’s base.
Tip: Look for koi in the pond and cherry blossoms in spring.
Cafe Break with Wi-Fi:
Relax with a coffee on floors 1–6 while using free Wi-Fi.
Tip: Choose a seat near a window for natural light and people watching.

I’d been to Tokyo Skytree and Tokyo Tower before I came here. This is the best city view of Tokyo. From Skytree every thing just looked flat whereas Tokyo Tower’s view were blocked by high rise buildings around it. Here it’s a fine balance. I could enjoy the views of various landscapes of Tokyo. I can see myself coming here again in the future. I already visited here twice - day and night.

Great views of the surrounding town. Tickets to the observation area are during a specific time window. Buy ahead of time so you can pick your window before it fills up. You can go in as early as 15 minutes (but not before) your time window.

From bright sky to sunset to lights on, this observation tower is a good option to hangout and enjoy the whole scenery in comfort as it is indoors, and have places for you to sit and chill while enjoying the 360 view.

The Mori Tower Observatory was disappointing and not worth the price. At 2,000 yen per adult, I expected a clear and stunning view, but instead, the windows were dirty, making it hard to take good photos. If you’re looking for a view, you’re better off going to the 2nd floor (2F), which is free and still offers a decent perspective of the city. Definitely not worth the expensive ticket for the ob...
