Why we recommend it
Shibuya Sky sits on top of Shibuya Scramble Square, the tower directly above Shibuya Station, and its big selling point is the open-air rooftop. From the Sky Stage you get unobstructed 360-degree views over the city, with the Scramble Crossing far below, the green of Yoyogi Park and Meiji Jingu to the north, and, in clear weather, Mount Fuji to the west. An indoor gallery floor below offers floor-to-ceiling windows if the wind is strong.
Entry is by timed ticket, and booking online is cheaper than buying on the day; sunset slots sell out quickly, so reserve several days ahead if you want golden-hour views. The rooftop can close temporarily in bad weather, and it is closed on New Year's Day. The entrance is on the 14th floor of the building, which rises directly above Shibuya Station, so there is no need to go outside to reach it.
