About This Destination

The open-air rooftop of Shibuya Scramble Square, 229 meters above Shibuya Station, with an indoor gallery on the 46th floor. Every ticket is for a 20-minute entry slot, sold up to two weeks ahead; adults pay 2,700 yen online before 15:00 and 3,400 yen from 15:00. Bags are not allowed on the roof.

Entry is on the 14th floor of Shibuya Scramble Square, not the Sky Lobby on the 11th floor of Shibuya Hikarie across the street, and the operators warn that people mix the two up all the time. From the gate, the SKY GATE passage takes you up to the 46th-floor SKY GALLERY and then to SKY STAGE, the open roof 229 meters above the station. Every ticket is for a set date and a 20-minute entry window, and sales open at midnight Japan time two weeks ahead. Online, adults (12 and over) pay 2,700 yen to enter before 15:00 and 3,400 yen from 15:00. The counter charges 300 yen more, and once a slot sells out online it is sold out at the counter too. Children's tickets cost 1,200 yen and are sold only at the counter. The roof rules are strict. Only phones, plus cameras or binoculars on a neck strap or small enough for a pocket, go up; bags, hats, tripods, selfie sticks and earphones go in the 46th-floor lockers, and suitcases belong in a station locker. Wind, rain, heat or thunder can shut the roof at short notice. There is no time limit inside, but no re-entry.

If the roof is closed at your entry time, eligible online tickets can be cancelled free on the day, as long as you have not gone in yet; once inside there are no refunds.
