This is located in Shinjuku. There are 2 towers, north and south, and you can go up both for free. On a clear day, the views are fantastic. There is a tourist information centre at ground level and they can speak English and Chinese (could be more but these were the only ones we used).

Morning is the preferred time, or evening after sunset. Since the place is free to public, the queue is quite long, need to wait 10 to 15 minutes. At top has chance to see Mt. Fuji on clear sky. Should put this least priority among all sites specially if you have very limited time in Tokyo.

Located in the mix of high rises in "downtown" Tokyo. The 85th floor hosts the best views of the city and Mt. Fuji in the background. A lot less busier than the Sky Tree or Tokyo Tower

The view from the top of the TMG building can be exceptional provided that the weather is clear. I have been to the observation deck twice in this building, once in winter and once in summer. In winter it was crisp and clear so I was presented with stunning views right out to Mt.Fuji. Im summer however the warm humid... More
