Metropolitan Government Observatory

東京都庁展望室

Nishi-Shinjuku, Tokyo · 東京

The twin-towered city hall by Kenzō Tange, with a public observation floor in each tower and no entry charge at all.

Why it’s worth it

On a clear winter morning Fuji is plainly visible. It costs nothing and the queue is usually shorter than the paid towers — go before 10am.
