The one Tokyo deck with no roof over it
Which floor the entrance is on, what shuts when it rains, and when to book.
Shibuya Sky opened in November 2019 on top of Shibuya Scramble Square. At about 229 metres it is well below Skytree — what it has that they do not is an open roof.
You can hear Tokyo from up there and feel the wind, which is considerably colder than the street. The best part is also the part weather can take away — understand that before you book.
The entrance is on the 14th floor, reached through the shopping levels. There is nothing at street level to walk into.
Opening hours & last entry
10:00–22:30 daily
Last admission: 21:20
Finding the 14F entrance
From Shibuya Station, follow signs to Shibuya Scramble Square, take the escalators to the 14F ticket gate. Allow about 10 minutes from the platform.
Sky Stage — the rooftop
About 2,500 square metres of open deck with no roof. This is what makes Shibuya Sky different, and what closes when the weather turns.
Sky Edge
The north-west corner where the barrier is glass and vanishes in photographs. Busiest spot on the roof — worth waiting for.
Sky Gallery — indoor
Enclosed floor below the roof with bar, seating and the same view through glass. Where you go when the roof shuts.
The lit stairway and the hammocks
Curved steps with light in the treads, and net hammocks over artificial grass — most of the photos you have seen come from here.
Which slot
The same roof, three different places
The three admission tickets differ only in when they let you up — the deck is three different experiences depending on the hour.
Daytime shows scale and is the quietest, cheapest slot. The first hour after opening is emptiest.
Sunset is the one to book if you are going once — arrive about an hour before the sun sets. Also the busiest hour.
Night is underrated: cheaper than sunset, thinner crowds, and the deck lighting is at its best. You lose the sky.
Common questions
Shibuya Sky, answered
- Where is the Shibuya Sky entrance?
- 14th floor of Shibuya Scramble Square — not street level. From the station, follow signs and allow ten minutes from the platform.
- How high is Shibuya Sky?
- The open-air rooftop is about 229 metres. Lower than Skytree — the point is the roofless top floor.
- What happens if it rains?
- The open rooftop closes. The indoor gallery stays open and your ticket remains valid — not a refund. Change the date before you arrive if rain is forecast and the roof is why you are going.
- How far ahead should I book?
- Daytime: a few days is usually enough. Sunset: as far ahead as you can — it sells out first at weekends.
- Can you see Mount Fuji?
- On a clear day, yes — to the west. Most likely in winter. Nobody can promise it.
- Can I take a bag or tripod up?
- Bags go in free lockers at 14F. Phones need a lanyard on the roof. No tripods or selfie sticks on the open deck.
