Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building

This is one of the recommended tourist spots, which is located in Shinjuku. Tokyo Tocho is often visited by tourists for its free observation decks which provide good panoramic views of Tokyo and beyond.

The 243 meter tall building has two towers, and each houses an observatory at a height of 202 meters. It had been the tallest building in Tokyo until it was overtaken by the Midtown Tower in 2007.

With favorable weather conditions, well-known landmarks such as Mount Fuji, the Tokyo Skytree, Tokyo Tower, Meiji Shrine and the Tokyo Dome can be seen from the observatories. Each observatory has a cafe and a souvenir shop. The North Observatory remains open later at night, usually by 23:00, making it a popular spot to enjoy night views of the city.

Tourist information center is located on the first floor, so that you could grab maps and brochures written in English. English-speaking staffs are available.
