What is Shibuya Sky?
Shibuya sky observation deck
Shibuya Sky is an observation deck located on the 46th floor and rooftop of Shibuya Scramble Square, a high-rise building directly connected to Shibuya Station. Standing at around 230m high, you can see the entirety of the city of Tokyo all the way to Mt.Fuji.
To enjoy Shibuya Sky, you need a ticket which states the date and time of entry. Entry times are in 20 minute intervals and there is no limit to how long a person can stay. You can stay as long as you want as long as it is within opening hours. Sunset times are most popular, but can sell out weeks in advance.

1. Ticket Counter
Shibuya Scramble Square’s reception is on the 14th floor. You can buy tickets the day of, but there are many instances where tickets are sold out due to online reservations. We highly recommend reserving a ticket in advance.
You can only buy tickets for elementary schoolers, children (3-5 y/o), and children (under 3 y/o), at the ticket counter.
If a child is accompanying an adult or middle/high schooler who has a ticket, you can still buy tickets for the child at the front desk, even if it is listed as sold out.
The ticket counter is open from 10AM-9:20PM.
2. Shibuya Sky’s Official Website
*This is a more economic method and is recommended for residents of Japan.
Buying on the official site is cheaper than going directly at the ticket counter. You can choose an entry time up to 4 weeks in advance. We recommend buying the tickets early. If you go to the ticket counter, it can also get quite busy in the evening and on the weekends.
If tickets reservations were canceled on the same day, the spot will open on the website.
*Note: You cannot use credit cards issued outside of Japan
