Shibuya Sky offers some of Tokyo’s most breathtaking city views, especially at sunset, but those tickets are notoriously hard to book.
Sunset slots often sell out weeks in advance. If you can’t snag a sunset ticket, book a 2–3 PM entry. Arrive early, explore the deck, and enjoy waiting for the sun to set—it’s still an unforgettable experience. For photographers, this timing gives you golden-hour light with slightly smaller crowds.
Tickets can be purchased directly on the official Shibuya Sky website: https://www.shibuya-scramble-square.com/sky/. Keep an eye on additional same-day ticket releases if your preferred time sells out.
