Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building

Free admission , open till 11pm, but be ready to wait in long queues. If the weather is good, you will see spectacular city view with Fuji behind the skyline.

great view , serious photographers and timelapsers beware. No tripods allowed. No even Gorilla Pods or mini tripods. They even stop you from resting your camera on the ledge. Got a few though :)

Cafeteria on 32nd floor of building 1 is open to the public. Great and cheap food with an amazing view ! Enjoy!

Go up 2d observation deck 4a view of Tokyo.Free admission.Much less crowded than other paid sites,ie,Roppongi Hill ,Tokyo Skytree,Tokyo Tower.Nearest train stn:Tochomae(or 15min walk from Shinjuku Stn)

Come for sunset . It’s really phenomenal.

Don’t miss to go up to the observatory either north or south tower. It is free and you get the best view ! Anytime you go is breath taking, there is a souvenir shop in the middle and piano if you play

The Government building is a great substitute to get a view of the town and pictures. It's free and there's a nice souvenir shop on the top floor. Please be careful because sometimes it's so foggy.

Open till 10:30pm . Best time to capture photos qithout glare is sunset . If you come during day the 35th floor cafateria is open to the public and is cheap .

Free observatory with great views ! Make sure to go just at sunset . The next half an hour the city shades are blue and the lights start to be turned on.

A must visit when in Tokyo. Come during the day or night for a spectacular view of the entire city at the north and south observatories . Best thing: its totally free!

Don’t let the lines scare you away. It moves super quick and everything is incredibly organized - as everything in Japan.

Free panoramic views of Tokyo in the north and south observation decks . The north observation deck is open later. Just as good as (if not better than) Tokyo Tower .

Climb up to 45th floor to enjoy gorgeous views of the skyline of Great Tokyo. There is a tourist office in the basement floor. Free access. Highly recommended, a must see.

Tokyo view for free: Almost all tourist guidebooks tell you to visit other places for a good city view . But you need to pay in those places. Here, at the city hall , it is for free.

Go to lvl 45 for the view ! It is free! Pls note that the south tower closes at 530pm and last entrance is at 5pm. North tower opens till 10pm. According to the lady south tower view is nicer

Sure, there's the Skytree and Tokyo Tower , but this spot is free and also has a ridiculous view of Tokyo. Go to Shinjuku afterwards and get some food and drank.

The view from the 45th floor is great but if you go during lunchtime then go back up to the 32nd floor to the cafeteria for good cheap meals.

Great because it's free. I've been to 3 view points (Tokyo tower , Park Hyatt and this one)... And still think the Tokyo Tower is best among these three.

Free observation decks open until dark. Really amazing views . If you're lucky, Mt. Fuji might be visible in the distance.

Free access. Great views of this amazing city . Come during sunset to see the sun set behind Mount Fuji .

i believe it's closed saturday an sunday but the view is amazing a must see while in Tokyo an even you don't speak japanese you'll be okay

One of the few gift shops that stays open until late! Also the view at night is amazing so it's worth going there by night.

Great view of the city . Although, the North Tower has only some windows to overlook the city . A lot of reflections in those. Not the best photo-op

Must visit, you’ll realise how wide Tokyo spreads. South tower has the best views but North feels nicer and has a better cafe

Grab a beer (http://foodmento.com/dish/8991) at the Good View (Y500 happy hour 4-6pm) for the best views .

Great view , no line , and it's free. Enjoy the advertisements for other prefectures and a gift shop .

South tower usually open till 5, north open till 11. North has a large restaurant which takes up some of the view so head to south if it's still open!

Free entry, and stunning views of the city - a must-visit for any tourist in Tokyo
