Photos | Top of Tokyo: Observation decks offer panoramic city views

In Tokyo, the observatory decks offer spectacular view of the cityscape, the traffic patterns and some perspective on the complex city which is believed to be a gigantic concrete jungle built on layers of tradition and culture. No two perches in these observatories offer the same view and all are different and beautiful in a dramatic and eye-catching way.

It’s difficult to grasp the enormity of Japan’s capital in just a few days and the one way to gain some perspective on the complex city is to get above it — way above it. (Jae C. Hong / AP)

Chandre Groenewald, visiting from South Africa, clicks a selfie at Tokyo Skytree's observation deck. Greeted with a bow by the elevator operator, ride up to the top of some structures for as much as $30 a trip. But the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building’s observation deck is free. The 48-story office is surrounded by Shinjuku district’s skyscrapers. The view is more intimate than from most other observatories. (Jae C. Hong / AP)
