展望ひろば

Have you ever imagined gazing at Mount Fuji from 202 meters high? Here at the Tenbou Hiroba, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building’s free observation decks, this dream becomes reality. The Tenbou Hiroba isn’t just about breathtaking views. It’s about connecting with Tokyo’s vibrant pulse. It’s a space designed to educate visitors about Tokyo’s history and the Metropolitan Government’s role in shaping its future. Reach the Tenbou Hiroba via the dedicated “Observatories Elevator” on the first floor. Be prepared for a potential wait, especially during peak hours. It could take 20-30 minutes to reach the top. The North Observatory is open from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm, with last entry at 5:00 pm. The South Observatory has slightly later hours, 9:30 am to 10:00 pm, last entry at 9:30 pm. However, note that the South Observatory might be closed during certain periods for maintenance or special events, so be sure to check the schedule before your visit. While you soak in the panorama, consider grabbing a snack or drink at the cafes inside. From the northeast, marvel at the iconic Tokyo Skytree. To the southeast, find the tranquil greenery of Shinjuku Gyoen and Meiji Jingu. The southwest reveals Shinjuku Park Tower and Tokyo Opera City Tower. And on a clear day, usually during the colder months from December to February, gaze westward to see Mount Fuji’s majestic peak. For a deeper understanding of the cityscape, use the “TOKYO SKY GUIDE”. Simply scan the QR codes on the exhibition panels for information in your language, without needing a special app. The Tenbou Hiroba offers a chance to reflect on Tokyo’s past, present, and future. It’s a unique blend of stunning views and insightful information, all free of charge.
