Wow wow wow. This was such an immersive experience. Of course the sky line and view are beautiful, but the whole experience itself is a vibe. I went at night and it felt like a different world. It was so peaceful and beautiful. They even have art exhibits that are seasonal to view after the experience! Staff were so kind as well.
You need to reserve in advance as it sells out. So if you are interested, reserve a few weeks out and you might be able to get a sunset time! Other wise, I reserved a week before and got a 7:40pm slot that I felt was beautiful anyways! Also there is a bar.

SHIBUYA SKY is one of the most impressive observation decks in Tokyo, and it feels very different from other viewpoints because of how open and minimal it is.
From a visitor’s perspective, the experience starts inside Shibuya Scramble Square, where you move through a very controlled, timed-entry system. This is important entry slots are strict, and they don’t usually allow walk-ins, so booking in advance is almost necessary, especially for sunset times.
Once you reach the top, the transition is striking. Unlike enclosed observation decks, SHIBUYA SKY is mostly open-air, which gives you a com

I have been to Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Skytree too.
Shibuya Sky's rooftop is by far the best part about the attraction. The random couches, chairs, the net, and helipad are cool.
You have to lock up your toque and loose hats while you're up there in a free locker.
I managed to get a ticket at the counter, but most people recommend buying tickets in advance.
I liked the random electronic installation as you go to access the roof.
Note Shibuya Sky isn't outright labeled in Shinjuku or Shibuya stations. The entrance is the 14th floor of a shopping mall.

My friend and I were lucky to book a time slot for sunset. Which I recommend is the best time to pick. Shibuya city was magnificent to view from the evening to night time. The views are breathtaking. It happened to snow a little that morning so we got to see the small icicles that formed later that evening. It does get chilly being up so high but worth every minute. You can take professional photos by a photographer and buy it before exiting. There's 2 levels, we were happy to be able to go outside on the top, which some people do miss out on the opportunity.
The elevator ride is awesome. Get

I loved it here. It had a wide open rooftop and plenty of space. I like this one a lot more than the Tokyo SkyTree. I didn't come during sunset but I can't imagine an open space would be worse than a tunnel. I spent about an hour here enjoying the views and the sun.
