Tokyo City View

In short

Tokyo City View is an indoor observation deck located on the 52nd floor of Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, 250 meters above sea level. From this glass-walled space with an 11-meter-high ceiling, you can look out over landmarks such as Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Skytree. When the weather is clear, you can even take in a panoramic view reaching as far as Mount Fuji.

• ​All-Glass View​​: Look out over the Tokyo cityscape from a floor with a perimeter of approximately 300 meters.
• ​Diamond Fuji​​: Enjoy the phenomenon where the setting sun aligns with the peak of Mount Fuji, observable every February and November.
• ​Mori Art Museum on the 53rd Floor​​: The Mori Art Museum for contemporary art is located one floor above and can be reached by an escalator from the 52nd floor.

History and Highlights

The concept of Roppongi Hills is a "Cultural Heart of the City." It was born from the belief that "a city with only an economy and no culture cannot attract the people of the world." As a symbol of this concept, cultural hubs such as an art museum and galleries were established on the top floors of Mori Tower, located at the center of the complex.

Mori Tower is a building with 54 stories above ground and a height of 238 meters, completed in April 2003. Tokyo City View is the observation deck located on its 52nd floor, at 250 meters above sea level.

The floor has a perimeter of approximately 300 meters and covers an area of 4,735 square meters. Mori Building considers it an observation facility boasting one of the largest floor areas in Japan. Thanks to the open-ceiling space over 11 meters high and the full-height glass walls, it is an expansive, open space.

In the gallery space of the observation deck, exhibitions and events that blend with the view are held from time to time under the theme of "urban entertainment." The facility refers to the scenery woven by the constantly changing cityscape and unique architecture as "the art called the city."
