The Most Instagrammable Observation Deck in Tokyo
There are numerous observation decks in Tokyo ranging from various heights. Some of them are free and others are paid observation decks. They are a good way to grasp the scale of the city and are especially good at taking photogenic pictures of the night city scape. While the observation deck of the Tokyo Skytree is best in terms of height and the Tokyo Tower’s observation deck is a symbol of Tokyo, this particular observation deck is simply the most Instagrammable of all the observation decks in Tokyo. What’s even more inviting is that, this spot is virtually not crowded at all and not a lot of tourists know about this spot.
This is located in a busy area of Tokyo but as you can see in the picture above, the height of the surrounding buildings are not as high compared to the buildings in Shinjuku. Furthermore, the curators of this space have redefined how an observation deck is designed. They have installed fun little games and intentionally made it a photogenic space. The above picture illustrates how they have done so.
There are mirrors installed surrounding the window giving it a surreal feel and standing in front of the mirror makes you feel as if there is no barrier between you and the outside. It is not only perfect to take a picture for your Instagram but also the experience itself is fun. Definitely not your usual observation deck!

The only thing separating you from the fall of a skyscraper is a thin slice of glass. The long fragments of mirrors draws you towards the sky.
The place has several other mirror and glass related exhibits and games. Some of them are very fun but all of them photogenic.
The animation changes throughout, sometimes making the room so bright and others making it very dark.
The best exhibit they have is this fully mirrored room. A animation is projected which is reflected by tens of mirrors.
