Book the slot weeks ahead, because popular times sell out. My 5:30pm slot was a good pick, you walk through knee-deep water, so wear shorts or roll-up trousers. Skip long dresses and skirts!

Book the sunset slot, about 30 minutes before sunset, so you see day, golden hour and night in one visit. Photograph the crossing from above first, then walk across it.

Check the forecast the night before. The lower deck is enough for most people. Only pay more for the higher deck if you want the extra height.

Roppongi Hills views are from the opposite side. If you can only choose one, choose by what you want in the photo: the tower itself or the skyline.

There’s no fixed route, and artworks move between rooms, so you may never see the same thing twice. Allow 2.5–3 hours. Wear trousers or shorts, because of the mirrored floors.

Check the validity window, because the round-trip ticket is time-limited and you must return within it. Luggage racks are at the car ends, so it’s easier than the subway with big bags.

Location matters more than room size in Tokyo, so mention the closest train line.

It’s a short hop from Tokyo Station and Ginza, so it works well for first-timers who want shopping and day trips.
