Even though we visited Tokyo after the cherry blossom season, we were surprised by how crowded it still was. Japan truly is a year-round favourite destination for travellers! We underestimated the demand and only tried to book the sunset time slot shortly before our visit. Unfortunately, all the sunset tickets were already sold out, so my advice is to book as early as possible if you want to enjoy the magical transition from sunset to the stunning night view. On the day we visited, it was drizzling and the wind was getting stronger as a typhoon was approaching Tokyo. The rooftop observatory was eventually closed for safety reasons, but thankfully we had already finished exploring and taking in the breathtaking views. Despite the weather, Shibuya Sky was worth the visit. The panoramic views over Tokyo are incredible, and it’s definitely one of the city’s must-visit attractions. Just remember to book early, especially if you’re hoping to catch sunset!
cool place, very tourist. The line in entrance was not very long, there was only 2 elevator so you will have to wait for going up. Also you will have to wait in queue for some photo spots Would be better if you come near the sunset hours, the views will be amazing. My picture was taken around 5 pm. I also recommend to buy the tickets in advance, since they always sold out if you buy them on the spot.
Unbeatable 360° Views of Tokyo! If you are visiting Tokyo, Shibuya Sky is an absolute must-do. The outdoor observation deck sits right on top of the Shibuya Scramble Square building, and the open-air design makes it feel completely different from other indoor observatories in the city. Standing at the edge on the glass panels gives you an incredible, unobstructed view of the entire Tokyo skyline—including the famous Shibuya Crossing directly below. On a clear day, you can even catch a view of Mount Fuji in the distance! Pro Tips for the Best Experience:Book the sunset slot: Try to grab a ticket for about 30 to 45 minutes before official sunset. You get the best of both worlds: beautiful golden hour lighting, a stunning sunset, and watching the city transition into a sea of neon lights. Book well in advance: Tickets online sell out fast, especially for those highly coveted sunset times. If you wait until the day of, you will likely miss out. Locker requirements:For safety reasons due to the high winds, you have to put almost all your belongings (bags, hats, scarves, umbrellas) into a free locker before heading to the open deck. You can only bring your phone or camera (with a neck strap). The "Sky Edge" corner is the perfect spot for photos, and though there is usually a line for it, the staff keeps it moving efficiently. Between the smooth elevator ride up, the cool rooftop vibe, and the stunning views, it is worth every single yen. 5/5 stars—don't miss it!

5/5 – A Must-Visit in Tokyo Shibuya Sky was one of the highlights of our Tokyo trip. The panoramic views of the city are absolutely stunning, and on a clear day, you get an incredible skyline stretching in every direction. A few tips: * Book your tickets well in advance. Tickets often sell out for the day, especially during peak travel periods. * Check the weather forecast before booking. We were fortunate to visit on a perfect day with clear skies, which made a huge difference to the experience. * Consider booking a sunset slot. Watching Tokyo transition from day to night is truly spectacular. * It can get quite windy on the rooftop, so carrying a light jacket is a good idea. The open-air rooftop is the main attraction, and you can easily spend a good amount of time there enjoying the views and taking photos. The photo opportunities are fantastic, and you’ll come away with some memorable shots of the Tokyo skyline. One thing to note is that the rooftop may be closed in case of rain, strong winds, or lightning. However, you can still enjoy the enclosed observation area on the floor below, which also offers excellent views. When we visited, the bar section was not operational, but that didn’t take away from the overall experience. Overall, Shibuya Sky is absolutely worth visiting for the breathtaking 360-degree views of Tokyo. Don’t forget your camera—you’ll want to capture the skyline from every angle!

Good place to get an incredible view of Shibuya and far beyond. There’s a lot of people up top so I would encourage walking as far as you can since there are a lot of good spots for photos all around. Something cool that they offer as well are photos from a professional for your whole group. The photos take 30 minutes to develop but it’s actually quite easy to pass even if you go inside and retrieve all your things from your locker immediately. There’s an area inside you can walk around, an interactive experience, benches, a souvenir shop, a specialty coin machine and a food court. By the time you finish with all of that your photos should be ready. You don’t have to purchase them though, once the photographer is done each group gets a minute to take as many pictures as they want in the same spot. If it’s raining the rooftop may be closed so do be wary of that. I think sunset is a great time to go and do recommend getting tickets in advance since it can get packed pretty easily depending on where you go.
