Formerly known as Sky Circus, this observation deck on the 60th floor of Ikebukuro’s Sunshine City underwent a major revamp and reopened in early 2023 as Tembo Park. It’s now a relaxing indoor park with artificial turf, comfortable seating and the same beautiful views out across the city.
The main area is Tembo no Oka, which means ‘observatory hill’ in Japanese. Here you can put down a picnic mat or take a seat on one of the couches while gazing out of the windows from 251 metres above ground.
Next to Tembo no Oka is a café where you can get the likes of curries, sandwiches and smoothies. It’s also okay to bring in lunch from outside during weekdays from 11.30am to 2pm.
