Shibuya Sky: Tokyo's Best Rooftop View

Of all the views in Tokyo, Shibuya Sky might be the best. It's an open-air rooftop at the very top of Shibuya Scramble Square, with nothing but glass between you and the city.

What you'll see

From Shibuya Sky, you look straight down on the famous Shibuya Crossing, with crowds flowing across in every direction. Turn around and Tokyo stretches out as far as you can see, with landmarks like Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Skytree in the distance. On a clear day, you may even spot Mount Fuji.

The best time to go

Sunset is magic. You get daylight views, golden hour and then the city lighting up below you, all in one visit. That's also why sunset slots are the first to sell out. Book your Shibuya Sky ticket on Klook early if you want one.

Tips for your visit

Bags and loose items like hats go into lockers before you head up to the rooftop, so you can enjoy the view hands-free (phones are fine). Plan for about an hour. It can be windy up top, so bring a layer. If the weather is bad, the rooftop may close, so keep an eye on the forecast.

Is it worth it?

Yes, it's one of the most memorable things to do in Tokyo. Reserve your Shibuya Sky tickets now and catch the city from above.
