The New Tokyo City Hall Observatory (The New Tokyo City Hall) is one of the top five landmarks to appreciate the night view of Tokyo. Compared with the new show "Shibuya SKY", there are also seats for indoor viewing, and souvenirs are available. Free admission is open to the Buddha Heart. You only need to line up on the spot to enter the venue, which naturally attracts many foreign tourists. The sunny weather on this day made us satisfied with the photos. I recommend it to everyone who collects city night scenes.
How to get to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building
You can take the Toei Subway Oedo Line and get off at the "Togetsu-mae" station, and you can walk there directly, which is the most convenient; if you are in Shinjuku during the day, it takes 10-15 minutes to walk from JR Shinjuku Station, and you can go shopping slowly all the way That's it.If you are traveling with children, you can learn from us to transfer to the bus and get off near the Metropolitan Government Building. You can enjoy the surrounding greenery and enjoy the spring sunshine when you walk over.

Introduction to Tokyo Metropolitan Government Observatory
The observatory is divided into two parts, the north and the south. The north observatory (room) was converted into a vaccination center during the epidemic. It was still closed for visits when I visited in early April. Currently, the south observatory (room) is open for visiting. Enter In the lobby on the first floor, there will also be friendly staff to help guide the queue, and the police will check the bags you carry with you. If there is no problem, you can directly take the elevator upstairs. The queue time is about 4-10 minutes.
The official website of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government is open for "group visits (guided tours)". Reservations are required and a Japanese phone number is required. The guided tour includes the nearby meeting hall (Tokyo Assembly), the first floor of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, etc. For relevant regulations, please click here (▶ group tour).The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Hall itself is also open to the public, including bookstores on the first and second floors, the staff canteen on the 32nd floor, and other coffee shops. Since the small burger is in a nap state, it has to go directly to the observatory on the 45th floor. If I have a chance, I want to go here again.

This store on the South Observatory on the 45th floor sells all kinds of small items with Japanese cultural characteristics, ranging from postcards, fans to household items from Mount Fuji. I also bought a few postcards to send to club members. Furthermore, They also sell coffee, beer and water, and the price is reasonable compared to the outside. Choose a place to sit down, take a rest and wait for the sunset at the same time. It is a good place to relax and watch the scenery.
▲ These little things are easy to take back with you.
Watch the sunset and night view from the South Observatory
Shibuya SKY is the most popular attraction in Tokyo recently. You can see the Tokyo cityscape and a green space outside. It is Yoyogi Park, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government is Shinjuku Central Park. Both of them can see the Skytree.However, the angle of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building facing the Tokyo Tower is a little bit bad, so it’s a pity that I couldn’t take a complete picture, but I was able to take pictures of Mt.
Indoors, due to the lighting, the photos will reflect reflections. This should be avoided a little bit. I used my body to cover and my hand to cover the side of the lens to shoot. This is also different from outdoor shooting. The blue-toned night scene is very beautiful. It is worthwhile for us to visit from thousands of miles away and collect the third high-rise view in Tokyo. Little Hamburg also counted his visits to the Sky Tree, Bangkok Mahanakhon SkyWalk, and Taipei 101.
