Fantastic views at Tokyo from 45th floor. We came in the afternoon and it was not crowded. You can see the city from all angles. It’s free to enter the floor. There is a gift shop and cafe available with reasonable prices. I definitely recommend!

Great view on the top of the building. Access was quite easy, there was roughly a 15-20 minutes line but it was moving quickly. The view from the top is definitely worth it so don’t hesitate to go up. It was free of charge. Lastly at every half an hour, there was an evening lights show outside of the building. Awesome experience so don’t miss it

Unfortunately, when I visited, the city was wrapped in a thick fog, so the view was more atmospheric blur than skyline spectacle. That said, th...
