#Free VIP room change on the 27th of each month Member Day #tripcoins #Japan #Tokyo #SubwayMulti-DayTicket #ObservationDeck Since I bought a 72-hour Tokyo Metro ticket with trip coins, of course I had to use my time to visit different places. If I got off at Tochomae Station, I could go to the free Shinjuku Metropolitan Government Building South Observatory to see the scenery of Tokyo from a high altitude. When the weather is good, this is a great place to watch the sunset and Mount Fuji. There are also views of downtown Tokyo, but there are too many tall buildings and the Tokyo Tower is difficult to find. . .

Japan can be expensive, especially when it comes to observation decks and finding somewhere to see the view of the city. Did you know you can go to Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building for FREE?! Just make sure you arrive early or are prepared to queue for possibly a long time ~ but when you get up to the 46th floor, the views of Tokyo are amazing and totally worth it! 📍 Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building Observation Deck 🚇 Take the metro to JR Shinjuku Station and then walk 10 minutes. #tokyo #tokyotrip #japan #japantrip #mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip

#Free VIP room exchange on the 27th of each month Membership Day #Tokyo Free Travel #Tokyo Observation Deck In the summer of 2024, I exchanged Trip coins for a 48-hour Tokyo subway ticket and spent two days touring Tokyo. There are several observatories that are directly accessible by subway. Tochomae Station, exit A4, the observatory is divided into north and south sides.

For a free night view and light sculpture show in Tokyo's city area, head to the Nishi-Shinjuku Station on the Marunouchi line. From the underground passageway, follow the signs to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, or walk from the west exit of Shinjuku Station, which takes about ten minutes. The observatory is on the 45th floor, offering a 360-degree indoor space to view the night scene through the glass. High-altitude night views are generally similar; it depends on which building is closer. For example, from Azabudai Hill or Roppongi Hill, you can take very close shots of Tokyo Tower; the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building observatory's feature is probably the saturated view of the surrounding Shinjuku skyscrapers. Another recent highlight is the "Tokyo Night & Light" light sculpture show, which is projected at fixed intervals on regular evenings; on weekends or holidays, the theme of the light show changes to Godzilla, which is very cool! Both the observatory and the light show are free! In addition to visiting the bustling Kabukicho in Shinjuku at night, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building in Shinjuku is also a great choice.

#japan The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building (東京都庁舎, Tōkyō-to Chōsha), also referred to as the Tochō (都庁) for short, is the seat of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, which governs the special wards, cities, towns, and villages that constitute the Tokyo Metropolis. Located in Shinjuku ward, the building was designed by architect Kenzo Tange. It consists of a complex of three structures, each taking up a city block1. The tallest of the three is the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building No.1, a tower 48 stories tall that splits into two sections at the 33rd floor. The building also has three levels below ground. The design of the building was meant to resemble an integrated circuit, while also evoking the look of a Gothic cathedral1. It is the tallest city hall in the world. The two panoramic observation decks, one in each tower on floor 45 (202 meters (663 ft) high), are free of charge to the public and contain gift shops and cafes.

Before taking the elevator on the first floor, there is a simple baggage check. When you go up, you can see the whole view of Tokyo through the glass walls in all directions! In the middle, they sell various souvenirs (postcards, magnets, etc.). There are many fun and interesting things, so take your time looking around^^ 📍Address: 2-8-1 45th floor, TMG No.1 Building, Nishishinjuku, Shinjuku 163-8001 Tokyo Prefecture

-You can even visit the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building these days!?- The Reiwa Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building is amazing!! There's a cafe space, an observation deck, an exhibition space, a specialty product space, and even a piano designed by Yayoi Kusama in the observation deck😭💛🖤 And the amazing thing about this piano is not only the design...but the customers, no, the performers, were just too excellent😭😭😭It's rare to be able to listen to so many moving performances, for free, and on an observation deck!? (※This piano can be played by anyone who wants to play it at the appointed time) ...The reason why I came here as an Arashi fan is to make a pilgrimage to Johnny's Channel (heart) The reason why I was so impressed is, of course, as I mentioned earlier...but what a surprise!! Among the performers, someone was playing an Arashi medley 💙❤️💚💛💜 It was just a coincidence, but I was so touched by the leftovers 😭 It's the best. #TokyoTrip#AmazingView#CoupleTrip#Tokyo#Shinjuku#TokyoGovernmentBuilding#Johnny's#Johnny'sChannel#Arashi#Pilgrimage

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building is a distinctive building located about a 10-minute walk from Shinjuku Station. It is the administrative center of Tokyo, but it is also used as the setting for various dramas and movies. There are flower beds on the ground floor, and in spring the flowers are a sight to behold. The rooftop observation deck is also a highlight. #Tokyo #Shinjuku #FamousFlowerSpots #Building

I think Tokyo Metropolitan government building observations decks has one advantage, it is free comparing to other buildings, specifically traveling on a budget. The view of Tokyo is great to observe during Sunset and it is in the city center. Highly recommend place ✌️

#springitinerary The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building (Tōkyō Tochō) is a landmark skyscraper complex located in Nishi-Shinjuku, Tokyo. Designed by renowned architect Kenzo Tange and completed in 1991, the complex comprises three main structures:   Main Building No. 1: Standing at 243 meters with 48 stories above ground and three below, it features a distinctive design that splits into two towers at the 33rd floor, resembling a Gothic cathedral.  Main Building No. 2: This building is 163 meters tall with 37 stories, including three underground levels.

Tokyo has many observatories where you can enjoy the city's view at a glance, but I found one that you can visit for free! The building itself is unique, and once inside the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, there are guides to help you navigate directly to the observatory without any confusion. The observatory is spacious, with large panoramic windows offering a 360-degree view of Tokyo, allowing you to see the city at a glance. There are guides stationed throughout the observatory who explain various spots in Tokyo, and there are even staff members who speak Korean, making it even more enjoyable to listen to the information while admiring the scenery! Although I visited during the day due to my schedule, I imagine the night view would be even more stunning! On the first floor of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, there is an information center with Korean travel brochures about Tokyo, making it a great place to gather travel information! ✔️Location: 2 Chome-8-1 Nishishinjuku, Shinjuku City, Tokyo 163-8001, Japan ✔️Unlike the operating hours of the government building, the observatory is open until late! Since the operating hours vary by season, I recommend checking in advance before visiting.

It was well worth staying overnight to catch a glimpse of Mt. Fuji! I was a at luxury capsule hotel that was right next to a train station. I went three stops away to the Fuji Ladder Town and walked to the pagoda. I was able up go back to that same station and get back to Tokyo in just a couple of hours! From there, I met my hostel mate at the Gotokuji cat shrine. We continued the cat theme by going to Rarasand Cafe where they had tasty and cute cat shaped treats. We also waited to see the beckoning cat train. It doesn’t come frequently so be sure to check the times. There is also a cafe that has a view of it but you should check their opening hours. They were closed on that day so we just sat at the station. We went to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building for free aerial views of the city! It wasn’t crowded and it was a gorgeous area with a nice selection of souvenirs. We finally went to Shibuya at night with another girl from the hostel. We were able to commemorate our time together with a Photo Booth shoot! It was perfect for my scrapbooking! #solotravel #solofemaletraveller #japan #tokyo #mtfuji #gotokuji

While traveling around Tokyo, I visited many observatories. It rained, so I went to a paid observatory and looked at the foggy sky for an hour. Surprisingly, the best place was the one I visited for free. (Kitte comes first in the photo) ✨️1. Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building Observatory ✨️ Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building Observatory Open South Exhibition Room 09:30~22:00 / North Exhibition Room Closed Free Why was it the best? - A piano is on display. I was able to see the city while listening to a pianist's piano performance. I had an experience where my eyes turned red without me realizing it while looking at the scenery while listening to Ghibli music. I recommend it to those who like Japanese sensibility. ✨️2. Kitte Garden✨️ Recommended as a night view spot Free Why was it the best? - You can take pictures at Tokyo Station before entering. The view of Tokyo Station from the 6th floor of Kitte Shopping Mall is crazy. It's beautiful. It felt like no other place in our country. I recommend it to those who had difficulty going to the paid observatory due to their schedule, those who would spend the money for the observatory on food and shopping, and those who are looking for a Tokyo observatory. #TokyoTravel #TokyoMetropolitanCityObservatory #TokyoObservatory #KitteMarunouchi
