What are the best places to see Tokyo at night?
Sensoji
I’m sure that most of you who have decided to come to Tokyo have visited this famous Temple in Asakusa before. That being said, most people went there in the morning, which missed out on the surprisingly stunning night view of Sensoji. The main shrine and towers are lit up such that you could still see them. Visiting the temple at night also meant it’s less crowded, providing a different experience of this historical temple.
Tokyo Sky Tree
You probably don’t need me to tell you that one of the highest buildings at the center of Tokyo also happens to be one of the best spots to watch Tokyo’s night view. That being said, the Skyward Eye corridor is 450 meters above ground and the night view from the is simply breathtaking. The tower opens until 10 pm so you can have a nice dinner before ending your day by watching the beautiful night view of Tokyo.
Opening Hours: 8:00 am to 10:00 pm
Odaiba Marine Park
The Odaiba Seaside Park is a popular destination not only because of the stunning view, but it’s also a top destination for a romantic date. Looking towards the Rainbow Bridge and the Tokyo Tower, the park gives a unique view of Tokyo at night. Furthermore, many of the entertainment and shopping spots are also near Marine Park, meaning you would have an easy time planning out your trip. There are also firework shows and special events during summertime, which makes this the perfect spot for an unforgettable summer date.

Roppongi Hills Observatory
