SHIBUYA SKY
" SHIBUYA SKY " is an observation deck located on the rooftop of Shibuya Scramble Square, the tallest building in Shibuya. It is a popular photo spot, offering a 360-degree view of the big city from 229 meters above ground.
If you want to enjoy taking photos, we recommend the earliest time in the morning when there are fewer people. Also, if you visit just before sunset, you can see the fantastic view of the sunset and the night view after the sun goes down.
Tickets for admission to SHIBUYA SKY can be purchased in advance online. Popular times sell out, so it's best to buy your tickets early once you've decided on the date and time.
Please take a look at the following article for more details about shooting at SHIBUYA SKY.
Shibuya Scramble Crossing
Shibuya Scramble Crossing, also known as "the world's busiest intersection," is a famous tourist spot that represents Shibuya and is also known as "the world's most famous intersection." When the light turns green, more than 1,000 people can cross at once, creating a spectacular sight that is typical of the big city of Tokyo.
This is a place where you can truly experience the city of Shibuya, one of the most crowded areas in Japan. However, since it is a place with a lot of people, please be careful not to get in the way of other people crossing the street when taking photos.
Tokyo Station/Marunouchi
The Marunouchi Station building and the Marunouchi area on the east side of Tokyo Station are popular photo spots, and are especially popular for wedding photography.
There are many photogenic locations with a stylish and sophisticated atmosphere, such as the beautiful, historic Tokyo Station building, the former Wadakura Gate Guard Station site with its stone structures, and Marunouchi Nakadori Street lined with brand shops.
It is suitable for both daytime and nighttime photography, and many people enjoy taking photos there throughout the day.
Sensoji Temple
Sensoji Temple is a place where you can feel the traditional Japanese atmosphere even in the midst of Tokyo, a global metropolis. It is a representative tourist destination in Tokyo, visited by many people from both within Japan and overseas.
Once you pass through the eye-catching red Kaminarimon Gate, you'll find Nakamise Shopping Street, one of Japan's oldest shopping streets, heading towards Sensoji Temple. Many people enjoy sampling the Japanese sweets on sale here and purchasing souvenirs.
There are many shops around Sensoji Temple where you can rent traditional Japanese clothing such as kimonos and yukatas, so be sure to try them on and enjoy taking photos.
Tokyo Skytree
Tokyo Skytree is the world's tallest tower, completed in 2012, standing at 634 meters, making it the third tallest building in the world.
It's close to Sensoji Temple, which we introduced earlier, and there are many spots in the surrounding area to take photos of the Skytree, so it would be fun to take a walk around the area with your camera.
Looking down on the city of Tokyo from the observation deck of Tokyo Skytree, you can experience an overwhelming height that makes everything look like a miniature, and you can enjoy a view that makes you feel as if you are looking out over the entire city of Tokyo.
Tokyo Tower
Tokyo Tower is a Japanese landmark, its red and white colours standing out against the blue sky.
It is a 333m-tall comprehensive radio tower that was completed in 958 and was the tallest in the world at the time of its completion. From that time until the present day, it has been loved by Japanese people as a symbol of Tokyo for many years, so it is a place that you should definitely visit if you come to Japan.
From Shiba Park near Tokyo Tower, you can see Tokyo Tower up close along with the city's skyscrapers. We also recommend climbing up to the observation deck of Tokyo Tower for a panoramic view of the Tokyo cityscape.
Shinjuku Kabukicho
Kabukicho, which spreads out to the northeast of Shinjuku Station, is a fairly large entertainment district and a lively night spot for adults that stays busy until late at night. Many tourists from Japan and abroad visit the area throughout the day, from daytime to night.
Among them, "Kabukicho Ichibangai" is the main street of Kabukicho, and is a safe photo spot even for first-time visitors to Kabukicho. The arch at the entrance to the street is a famous Shinjuku landmark that can be seen in guidebooks, anime, movies, news footage, and more.
Central Road, located near Kabukicho Ichibangai, is also a great place to take photos. Try to find Godzilla's head that suddenly appears among the buildings.
Odaiba
Odaiba, an artificial island in Tokyo Bay, is home to many famous landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty, Rainbow Bridge, Fuji Television Headquarters, and beaches, making it a popular gathering place for many people. There are also many photo spots such as Odaiba Seaside Park, Fuji Television's spherical observation deck, and Odaiba Beach.
The view of Tokyo cityscape across Tokyo Bay from Odaiba is sure to be photogenic. It is also a place with a beautiful night view.
Maxell Aqua Park Shinagawa
Did you know that there is an aquarium in Shinagawa, Tokyo that is famous for photogenic? It's called Maxell Aqua Park Shinagawa .
Don't underestimate it as just another aquarium. It's an artsy place, like a museum, and it's fun to take photos.
The highlight of this aquarium is the dynamic dolphin show, set to music and lighting. Because it is held indoors, it is a little difficult to take photos, but if you manage to get the shot, it will be a fantastical one.
Yayoi Kusama Museum
The Yayoi Kusama Museum is an art museum that exhibits the works of Yayoi Kusama, one of Japan's leading artists. Her works, with their striking colorful and unique designs, are sure to photogenic.
Generally, photography is not permitted inside the museum, but there are many artworks that can be photographed, so be sure to bring your camera along.
It is only available on certain days of the week, and reservations are required in advance and there is a limit to the number of seats available, so be sure to plan your trip well in advance and purchase your tickets in advance.
