Pro tips to help you make a pick

Compare the standard Admission Ticket with the Admission Ticket + Tokyo Subway 24-hour Access variant if you plan several subway rides the same day; the combo can be more useful than a deck-only ticket.

Roppongi Hills itself is free to enter. Pay only if you want Tokyo City View, the Sky Deck, or the Mori Art Museum, so budget travelers can keep the deck as an optional add-on.

If the rooftop matters to you, check the official Tokyo City View site the morning of your visit. Sky Deck access is weather-dependent and may close for rain, strong wind, snow, or safety reasons.

Read the inclusion line carefully before booking. Many Tokyo City View tickets also include Mori Art Museum, but the museum bundle can change with the current exhibition and campaign.

Advance tickets can reduce the ticket-purchase step at the 3F counter, but they do not skip security screening, elevator queues, or any separate Sky Deck checks.

Aim to be at the 3F Tokyo City View / Mori Art Museum entrance 60–90 minutes before sunset. That buffer helps with wayfinding inside Roppongi Hills and lets you catch daylight, dusk, and night views.

Do not assume an audio guide comes with your ticket. Tokyo City View is generally self-guided, while some Mori Art Museum exhibitions may offer English explanations, multimedia, braille, or audio guides.

If you use a wheelchair or stroller, book the indoor deck with the museum as your main plan. The rooftop Sky Deck may have stairs or restrictive safety conditions, so do not rely on it as guaranteed accessible.

Same-day tickets are usually sold at the 3F counter, but big exhibitions or event nights can affect availability. If the museum matters as much as the view, check the current exhibition page before you go.

About Roppongi Hills

Tokyo City View combines skyline viewing, a rooftop helipad-style platform, and a contemporary art museum in one tower, giving it a broader scope than a stand-alone observatory. The indoor deck is weather-independent, the Sky Deck offers fewer reflections for photos, and many visits extend into Mohri Garden, Keyakizaka-dori, or dinner in the wider Roppongi Hills complex.

Did you know?

Tokyo City View and Mori Art Museum admissions are handled from the 3rd floor of Mori Tower, where visitors buy or validate tickets before taking elevators up.

The Sky Deck is not just a roof terrace: it is an open-air helipad-style platform above the indoor observatory and can close for rain, strong wind, snow, or events.

Mori Tower rises about 238 m and opened with Roppongi Hills in 2003 as part of Mori Building’s plan for a mixed-use “cultural heart” in central Tokyo.

Mohri Garden at the base of Mori Tower stands on the site of a former feudal lord’s residence, adding a historical layer below the skyscraper.

Louise Bourgeois’s giant spider sculpture “Maman” near Mori Tower has become an informal meeting point for visitors heading to Tokyo City View.

Why visit Roppongi Hills?

Floor-to-Ceiling Views Toward Tokyo Tower

Tokyo City View’s indoor deck uses large floor-to-ceiling glass windows to open up wide views over central Tokyo. From here, visitors can spot Tokyo Tower, and on clear days the sightline can stretch as far as Mount Fuji. Because it is indoors, the main viewing experience remains available in weather that might shut the rooftop.

Open-Air Sky Deck Above Mori Tower

The Sky Deck adds an open-air rooftop experience above the indoor observatory on a helipad-style platform. It offers 360° views and fewer window reflections, which is why photographers often prefer it on clear evenings. Access is weather-dependent, so rain, strong wind, snow, or safety concerns can close it without notice.

Contemporary Art at Mori Art Museum

A visit here can include the Mori Art Museum, located on the upper floors of the same tower. The museum focuses on rotating contemporary exhibitions with a strong Japan and Asia presence, while also featuring international artists. Many Tokyo City View tickets are linked to museum admission, though exact inclusions vary by exhibition.

Sunset and Night Views in One Visit

Late afternoon visits let you watch the city shift from daylight to illuminated streets and towers. Traveler guidance in the research recommends arriving about 60–90 minutes before sunset, which gives enough time for entry, elevator queues, and a full look at the skyline as it changes into one of Tokyo’s popular night-view scenes.

Free Mohri Garden and Keyakizaka Walks

The observation deck sits inside a larger complex that adds free street-level stops before or after your timed visit. Mohri Garden offers a quieter pond-side walk at the base of Mori Tower, while Keyakizaka-dori is known for framed Tokyo Tower views and seasonal illuminations. Near the plaza, Louise Bourgeois’s “Maman” is also a common meeting point.

Plan your visit

Mori Tower Main Plaza Entrance

Located at ground level near Roku-Roku Plaza and the "Maman" spider sculpture, this is the easiest street-level entrance for most visitors arriving on foot or by taxi. Use it for general access to Mori Tower, then follow internal signs to the Tokyo City View / Mori Art Museum entrance on the 3rd floor. Step-free access is available, with elevators inside. Queueing here is usually light, although the lobby can get busier during events.

Tokyo City View / Mori Art Museum Dedicated Entrance (3F)

Inside Mori Tower's commercial levels on the 3rd floor, this is the main entrance for all observation deck and museum visitors. It is clearly signed "Tokyo City View / Mori Art Museum" and includes the ticket counter, ticket scanning point, and elevators to the upper floors. Expect ticketing and elevator queues here, especially in the evenings and on weekends. The entrance is elevator-accessible, and staff assistance is available.

Underground/Concourse Entrances from Roppongi Station

These connected underground approaches are signposted "Roppongi Hills" from the subway ticket gates and are the most practical route in wet weather. They suit visitors arriving by Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line or Toei Oedo Line who want direct access without walking outside first. Foot-traffic queues are usually minimal, though the passageways can be busy. Lifts and escalators are available in the station and concourse, but you may need to choose your route carefully for full step-free access. From the concourse, follow signs toward Mori Tower and then Tokyo City View.
