Tokyo has many different faces during both day and night. Among them, the nighttime scenery is a must-see. Let us show you five of the best of the spots for Tokyo night views, ranging from a popular tower to some lesser-known observation rooms.
1. Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building Observation Deck
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building is in Shinjuku. From its observation deck on the top floor, you can look down on the glittering neon city of Tokyo, a city that never sleeps. And after sunset, it's especially amazing for Tokyo night views!
Not only is there no admission fee but it is also easily accessible. How about spending some time watching the view as it changes from a golden twilight to the shining neon light of the evening?

5. TOKYO SKYTREE(R)
The superb view from the Skyward Eye deck, which is 350 meters above the ground, as well as the view from the Skyward Eye corridor, which is 450 meters above the ground, are simply breathtaking. Since it is a popular spot for Tokyo night views, it can get crowded on Saturdays and Sundays. However, the Fast Skytree Ticket is available for tourists, shortening your wait time significantly, so this is certainly a huge recommendation.
