I booked this activity twice. During my first visit, the weather wasn’t good so the rooftop was closed. Thankfully, they offered a full refund with no hassle. On my second booking, the weather was perfect and the rooftop was open—the view from Shibuya Sky was absolutely stunning, one of the best in Tokyo! I highly recommend buying your tickets through Klook to skip the long lines and avoid missing out, as tickets can sell out quickly.

What you buy on Klook is the electronic version of the Hakone Freepass. You don't need to exchange for a physical ticket. You can use it by showing the electronic ticket display to the staff. It is convenient and fast, and it is a great choice.

The tour guide Mr. Cui was very nice. The weather was good but unfortunately there were too many clouds and I didn't see Mount Fuji. The scenery was beautiful. I will come to see Mount Fuji next time🗻

I made sushi for the first time here and it was delicious! the staff was so kind and helpful. they guided you every step of the way. it was right in Shibuya a few minutes from the station. I left there feeling super full. they also give you a brief history of sushi which is nice. they are a new spot that just opened a month ago so it was nice to be one of the firsts here as well! I highly recommend

5 to 6 minutes walk from Ueno Station, opposite Ueno Enshi Park, convenient and easy to find. Since arriving at noon on weekdays, the restaurant is large, arrive before booking in Klook payment is ok. Only $3xx per person, half price for 12 year olds. After eating, walk in the park to see the embroidery flowers, which is also very convenient to the zoo, art gallery or cultural hall.
