Seating has been set around the observatory windows to allow for a relaxed appreciation of the skyline. There is also a café and a restaurant to make your visit more memorable.

Daytime and dusk are perhaps the best time to visit, but night skyline has an amazing charm, in a less crowded environment.

The Tokyo metropolitan art museum is quite impressive even from above.

On days with good weather you can also visit the sky deck, or open air observatory (roppongi hills heliport), just be careful, you may be in awe with the observatory that you forget that sky deck entrance closing time (like I did).
