Shibuya Sky

Shibuya Sky is a rooftop observation deck located on the 46th floor of Shibuya Scramble Square, directly above Shibuya Station in Tokyo. It offers a 360-degree open-air view of the city, including the iconic Shibuya Crossing, Shinjuku skyscrapers, and on clear days, Mount Fuji. The deck is designed for a futuristic, minimalist experience with glass barriers that minimize visual obstruction. Visitors can lounge on artificial grass terraces, use the 'Sky Edge' benches that jut out over the edge, and watch the sunset transform the city lights. Inside, the 'Sky Gallery' features interactive digital art and a café. What makes it distinctive is its seamless integration with the bustling Shibuya district below, you feel both above and part of the city's energy. It's a must-visit for photography enthusiasts and anyone wanting a modern perspective on Tokyo.

A bit of history

Opened in November 2019 as part of the Shibuya Scramble Square complex, which was built as a centerpiece of the Shibuya Station area redevelopment. The deck quickly became a landmark for its unobstructed views and design.
