The rest of the viewpoints in Tokyo — every one we hold

Mount Fuji is a winter-morning view

The view everybody wants is Mount Fuji, and it depends far more on the season than on which building you pick. Fuji is most reliably visible from Tokyo on clear, dry mornings between roughly November and February, when the air is cold and the wind has cleared the haze. In the humid summer months it can vanish for weeks at a time. If Fuji matters, go early in the day in winter; if you want city lights, any clear evening works and the season hardly matters.
