Before You Book Shibuya Sky: Every Cost, and What's Worth It

Shibuya Sky is Tokyo's open-air rooftop deck above Shibuya Crossing, and its price depends on one thing: whether you enter before or after 3 pm. That's also when sunset slots start, and they sell out first. There's an online price, a counter price, a paid photo service and strict rules on what you can take onto the roof. Most of it sounds worth paying for. You don't need the most expensive slot to have a great visit. In this guide we walk through what each option costs, what you really get, and how to choose the right one, whether that's a quiet morning or a sold-out sunset.
