About
Welcome to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, a true marvel of modern architecture and your perfect introduction to the sprawling Tokyo metropolis! Designed by the renowned Kenzo Tange, this striking landmark opened in 1991 and stands as a symbol of the city's ambition. Ascend to the free observation decks, 202 meters high, in either of its twin towers for unparalleled 360-degree views. On a crystal-clear day, you might even spot the majestic Mount Fuji gracing the horizon! It's an incredible vantage point to grasp the sheer scale of Tokyo, identifying key districts and landmarks below. Locals often recommend a visit in the late morning for the best chance to see Fuji, or at sunset to watch the city lights begin their mesmerizing dance. This is truly the best way to get your bearings and feel the pulse of this incredible city from above.
Local tip
