Hiking

Brilliant view over the city, and completely free. On the 45th floor, you can enjoy an approx. 180-degree view; in good weather, you can see Mt. Fuji. Admission is from 9:30 AM to 10:00 PM, however, the last admission is already at 9:30 PM. In the evenings and on weekends, there can be up to a 45-minute wait until you take the elevator up.

As a tourist you rarely get lost in a business district or even an administration building.
Except the building has a viewing platform at 202 meters and is even free!

There are two observation decks in the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building - one facing north, the other facing south.

The opening hours are very generous: normally from 09:30 to 23:00 and with only a few closed days.

There are staff performing a bag check and organizing lift-driving. Only the way to the elevator can be tricky, depending on which level the building is entered from.

The daily projection mapping show "TOKYO Night & Light" at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building currently (March) starts in the evening:
First show: approx. 6:30 PM
Every 15 minutes thereafter
Last show: approx. 9:45 PM
💡 Tip: The shows run in a loop, so it's often more relaxed to come a bit later (e.g., 7–8 PM) when it's properly dark and the projections have a better effect.
