The short answer
SHIBUYA SKY adult online tickets: ¥2,700 for entry before 14:59, ¥3,400 for entry after 15:00, each ¥300 more at the on-site counter; tickets are for 20-minute time slots and go on sale 2 weeks before the visit date at 0:00 Japan time. For the sunset, check today's sunset time on the official homepage and book a slot before it; when online sales sell out, adult tickets aren't available on site either. Child tickets (age 12 and under) are only sold on site on the day (¥1,200).

When tickets go on sale and how to pick a sunset slot
The official site states that tickets go on sale 2 weeks before the visit date at 0:00 Japan time, and the counter also only sells tickets within 2 weeks. When adult tickets sell out online, the on-site counter is sold out too; spots in sold-out slots only reappear if someone cancels.
There's no separate “sunset ticket”: a sunset slot is just one of the regular 20-minute slots, at the after-15:00 price. The official homepage posts sunrise and sunset times daily, e.g. sunset at 16:59 on 2026/10/23; to watch the sky go from light to dark, book a slot 30–60 min before sunset, and there's no time limit once inside.
You can't enter before your time slot; if you're late, you may be asked to wait, pay the difference or be refused entry.
- Check today's sunset time on the official homepage.
- Book on the official Webket or an authorized platform 2 weeks before your visit date at 0:00 Japan time.
- Choose a 20-minute slot before sunset and receive a QR code after payment.
- On the day, arrive at the floor 14 entrance of Shibuya Scramble Square within your 20-minute slot.
Japan is 1 hour ahead of Taiwan: sales opening at 0:00 Japan time is 11:00 the previous evening in Taiwan.
Entry rules: what you can't bring to the rooftop
On the rooftop (SKY STAGE) you can only bring your phone and cameras or binoculars with a neck strap or that fit in a pocket. Bags, backpacks, tripods, selfie sticks, headphones, hats, food and drink, and anything that could blow away must go in the dedicated lockers on floor 46 (size H320×W375×D430mm).
Suitcases and other large luggage aren't allowed inside; leave them in a locker around Shibuya Station first. Carry-on bags are checked at entry.
In strong wind, rain, thunderclouds or extreme heat, the rooftop may close temporarily, while the indoor observation corridor on floor 46 stays open. No refunds after entry, and no re-entry once you leave.
Cancellation: online tickets from the official Webket can be canceled free of charge up to the day before your visit; on the day, they can only be canceled free before entry if the rooftop is closed during your time slot. Counter tickets can't be canceled. The official site states that resale tickets bought on Fliggy or Taobao won't be admitted.

SHIBUYA SKY is on the roof of Shibuya Scramble Square, which is directly connected to Shibuya Station (underground exit B6). The ticket counter and entrance are both on floor 14.

Where to stay after the night view
This site's area comparison doesn't include Shibuya; after the night view, if you're staying in Ueno, Asakusa or Ginza, the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line takes you straight back with no transfer. From Shinjuku, take the JR Yamanote Line.
Room sizes, minutes to the station and breakfast hours for hotels in each area are all in the area comparison.
