The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, located in the Shinjuku ward, is one of the iconic architectural landmarks of Japan's capital, Tokyo. Completed in 1991 and designed by the renowned architect Kenzo Tange, this skyscraper consists of the "Main Building No. 1," which stands about 243 meters tall and has 48 floors, along with several other facilities. The most notable feature is the observation room located on the 45th floor of the "Main Building No. 1."

The observation room is divided into "North" and "South" sections, offering breathtaking views from 202 meters above ground. Visitors can enjoy a spectacular panorama that includes the Tokyo Tower, Tokyo Skytree, and even Mt. Fuji in the distance. Using a dedicated elevator, guests can ascend to the 45th floor at an astonishing speed of 240 meters per minute. The observation room is open from 9:30 AM to 11:00 PM, and it is particularly famous for its beautiful night views. Admission is free, and there are cafes, restaurants, and souvenir shops available.

In addition to the observation room, the building also houses the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly and staff cafeterias, which are accessible to the general public. Furthermore, there is a Tokyo Tourist Information Center within the government building, providing valuable information about sightseeing both within and outside the city. This spot is bustling daily with both tourists from domestic and international locations, as well as locals, making it a delightful place to spend time. Be sure to enjoy the beautiful panorama of Tokyo from the observation room at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building.
