About
The 49th and 50th floors of the Shinjuku Nomura Building are a restaurant zone, and a small free observation lobby with benches sits on the 50th floor. Its windows face west and north-west over western Tokyo toward the Tanzawa and Chichibu ranges and, on clear days, Mt Fuji. It is quieter than the nearby Tokyo Metropolitan Government observatories.
Highlights
- Free view from about 200 m
- Mt Fuji and western mountains on clear days
- Usually uncrowded with seating
Tips
- Go at sunset in winter for Mt Fuji silhouetted against the sky.
- Combine with the free Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building observatories a few minutes' walk away.
