A travel guide to the best places to visit

Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building is one of the more recognizable landmarks of Tokyo. This 48 story complex reaches a massive height of 242.9 meters (797 ft) making it pretty hard to miss. On the 45th floor of the two towers you will find a free observation deck open to the public making it well worth to visit this building as you get to enjoy a beautiful panoramic view over the city.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building lies a bit outside of the touristic path, but it can easily be reached by taking the metro. Just head over to Shinjuku Station and then it’s within walking distance. It should be noted that Shinjuku Station is the busiest railway station in the world which is a fun thing to see by itself.
