Tokyo From Above, For Free!

Want one of the best views in Tokyo without spending a yen? Head to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building in Shinjuku. This twin-towered landmark offers free observation decks on the 45th floor, where you can admire a 360° panorama of the city, skyscrapers stretching into the horizon, Tokyo Tower in the distance, and even Mt. Fuji on clear days. Whether you visit during the day or at night when the city sparkles, it is an unforgettable (and budget-friendly) highlight. A peaceful, crowd-free alternative to the more touristy viewpoints. Tips for Visitors: - The North Observatory is usually open in the evenings, perfect for night views. - Arrive before sunset to enjoy both day and night scenes. - Located a 10-minute walk from Shinjuku Station (west exit). - Check the official site for opening hours and maintenance days. #tokyometropolitan
