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.

We had an amazing photoshoot experience in Tokyo with Mac and Masahiro. From the very beginning, they were extremely professional, friendly, and made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. The locations they chose were beautiful and they guided us perfectly with poses and expressions, which made the whole experience very enjoyable and natural. The photos turned out absolutely stunning – the quality, colors, and composition are truly impressive and look very professional and cinematic. What we appreciated the most was how relaxed and fun the entire session felt. It didn’t feel rushed at all, and we genuinely enjoyed the time while capturing these special memories in Tokyo. Thank you Mac and Masahiro for your incredible work and for giving us such beautiful memories from our trip. We highly recommend them to anyone visiting Tokyo who wants a memorable and high-quality photoshoot experience

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!
