One of the most famous observation decks in the entire world. The observation space itself is located on the higher floors of the famous Shibuya Scramble Square building. Shibuya Sky is well-known for its 230m high observation deck that has a 360-degree view of Tokyo. However, when visiting this attraction there will be a question that almost every visitor has. <em>What is the best time to visit Shibuya Sky?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The best time to visit Shibuya Sky is on a Friday after sunset.
