A beautiful sight. Would highly recommend booking no later than 5:30 pm to see the sunlight. A 6:30 pm reservation will get the night skies of the city lights. Very cold in the chiller seasons of traveling.

After watching the WBC, I used the QR code to board, which saved me time waiting in line to exchange tickets. It was very convenient, and currently, there are no service fees. I truly recommend everyone buy it. Thumbs up.

I chose Kabukicho for my ride, it's very convenient to get to Narita or Haneda from here! The price is 1400 JPY.

Booking tickets was quite convenient, as I didn't need to arrive early. However, I did have to exchange the voucher at the counter first. It would be even better if I could just scan a QR code in the future. I would definitely consider purchasing again!

Tickets sell out very quickly, especially for golden hour slots like sunset. It's best to book in advance on Klook, so you can enter directly at your chosen time upon arrival. I happened to get tickets for the daytime, and in my opinion, the city view was still beautiful. Thanks, Klook!
