6 years ago, my life was completery changed after watching Jon Olsson's vlog. I came to know that there are kinds of variety people in the world.

At Nov. 2021, I made the Japanese luxury travel support company named "LIL JAPAN". It means "Live In Luxury, Life Is Luxurious". My dream is making the authentic Japanese Luxury Travel and Hotels using with old real Japanese architecture. If anyone is interested in my company or my dream, let me to share it.

Think they do pretty good. I think tourist will mostly be happy. I think a National will always be more critical and have the highest expectation. Good video though.

How do you physically get there? I tried google mapping from Hachi statue but it keeps leading me underground.

I think this is pretty inevitable because there are too many tourists in Tokyo nowadays.. but I really loved Shibuya Sky. I think it is one of the best observation spots in the world.

Oops I planned to go in end Nov but after hearing you I’m worried 😢 it’s a Tuesday I planned what is the difference if I only go observation deck?

Nice video...Can someone help me, at what time ticket sales start on the website shibuya sky???

[PEHook]

This place (Shibuya "Sky") is just too popular (and desirable) to avoid problems in organization and crowd control. Maybe building 3 or 4 of them might cool things down.

[Mitchiko]

So What happened? you did not exactly give the whole story? what did the staff tell you? did they refuse to get out of the sofa? was there a mix up? what was wrong in the system? please tell the whole story?

[grahamh]

Shame you had a bad experience, maybe they need to limit the numbers of people visiting, though as you say, it did not look crowded at the top. Was this a weekend evening or are these kinds of queues to be expected?

[PEHook]

Shibuya "Sky" suddenly emerged and vaulted to near the top of the list of places to see and visit in Tokyo. Like the High Line in NYC. An unexpected excessive success?

[AdamWilliam]

Constructive Criticism is always good. Thank you for this.

[oregonduc]

They didn't kick out the people who sat in your seats? Or did they give you a new seat? Did they refund you if you didn't get your seat? Seems disorganized at the top. Definitely not a fan of over crowded areas, maybe have to plan a time when it's not peak travel season and non-holiday for me to visit to have a chance to go up.

Thank you, Jake-san. My favourite observation place is the Tokyo Metro Govt Building in Shinjuku. Not only it's free, the service was also great, and they also serve good coffee and snacks. They even have some unique merchandise with reasonable price. I once visited Tokyo Tower and was disappointed also, I was expecting spectacular view with that kind of admission ticket price, but it was just a waste of money, you can get similar even better view from free observation spots.

[ReassuringSmile]

I'm going there later today, just to shoot video of the escalator

[TheKornbeef]

Thats unfortunate. Good to know whats good and bad!

[catalinacurio]

Nothing changes for the better without constructive criticism Jake, if you didn’t care so much you wouldn’t speak up, maybe your video will bring about the needed change. 😊

[elkeyes]

Thanks for sharing your experience, I'm so sorry it was disappointing and made you angry. Many people recommend this place but it's nice to hear the good and the bad, especially if it's that much per person to get a sofa reservation.

When we traveled last year, we went to the Tokyo City View for the Rose of Versailles exhibit and the views there were very beautiful! Especially of Tokyo Tower :) There are so many nice observation areas (free or paid) that trying a different place as a traveler is probably best :)

We dont need these negative reviews about Japan 😂 go somewhere you like and say something nice, otherwise just 🤫
