    The BEST observatory deck in Tokyo!! Amazing views and great picture spots! I love that there is a lot of seating area on the roof and a HELIPORT! We been there last January 4, 2026 but unfortunately the outdoor deck was closed because of the bad weather, they offer us to rebook or re schedule , but we decided to continue. Still a nice experience but in our hearts we will be back again so we can get a chance to go to the rooftop and it happened last Monday , and it is really different feelings when you experienced to go outside, it’s super amazing .Definitely recommend to go during a sunny day for a great views! . . Amazing customer service and very friendly staff! Also recommend exploring the indoor part as well!

    Is great! But keep in mind that if you don't get express passes it would be an even longer day! Also there is some lenguaje barrier for example they say back they mean turn around also they call receipt: gift. Besides that but totally worth it

    Beautiful, very nice. I didn't go to the top floor this time, but the weather wasn't great, so I didn't see Mount Fuji. The view is breathtaking: the panoramic view of Tokyo is the core highlight, and on a clear day, you can see Mount Fuji in the distance. The facilities are interesting: the 350-meter-high transparent glass floor and the 450-meter-high glass spiral walkway are unique. Efficient and convenient: high-speed elevators quickly take you to the observation deck. Suitable day and night: you can enjoy the transition between day and night views at dusk.

    Perhaps because of the construction of the dog enclosure, it feels a bit chaotic. The paths are difficult to navigate, and when the park patrol begins, everyone is blocked from crossing. Furthermore, people are offered to sit on blankets along the paths, making it difficult to see from a distance.

    The Umeda Sky Building is definitely a must-visit spot. It offers a unique experience that sets it apart from other towers in Osaka. The ride up to the observatory deck on the escalator is something you won't forget. Make sure to check out the open-air deck too, where you'll get a completely different view of the city compared to the glass-enclosed observatory deck. We went early, right when it opened, and there were no crowds. But by the time we left an hour later, about 50 people were waiting in line. So, it's a good idea to pre-book your tickets. Another highlight was the Koji Kinutani Tenku Art Museum in the East Building. The exhibition offered a special glimpse into Japanese art. The 3-D show was a fantastic introduction, weaving all the art pieces into a story before we saw the individual paintings. A delightful surprise was the café. It was empty when we arrived, and we enjoyed a window seat with a view of the Osaka skyline while sipping fresh drinks and savoring tokoyaki.

    There weren't many highlights. It was a reconstruction of an old building, which explains why there were so many modern architectural details. There was a lot of explanatory material, but not many original artifacts; it seems that apart from the foundation, there's not much from the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era. The extra stone museum ticket wasn't really worth it. You just go in, look at the pile of stones from the foundation, and then leave. The Japanese are really something—they managed to put together an exhibition of such a small amount of material.

    Sensoji is a maginificent temple in the centre of Tokyo. A few minutes walk from the station and you reach this busy but royal temple. The pathway to the temple is lined up with numerous shops selling souvenirs and titbits. People enjoy browsing the shops, enjoying shopping and chit chatting with the shop-owners. One can even see Tokyo tower on a clear day.

    It was nice. We went around noon and it wasn't crowded, but the view during the day is probably not as good as at night. There's a lounge on the 58th floor where you can order light meals, but there are very few indoor booths, and the outdoor booths are on the terrace, which is very cold.
