Tokyo City View

From November 14 to January 12, Tokyo City View hosts 'All of Evangelion', an art exhibition to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the beloved Evangelion franchise.  As its name suggests, the exhibition spans the entirety of Evangelion's decades-long history, featuring everything from original cels and drawings from the Neon Genesis Evangelion anime series to never-before-seen digital materials from the Rebuild of Evangelion films. Take a closer look at the exhibition here.

Seeing that it boasts one of the best views in the whole of Tokyo, Roppongi Hills is an obvious choice if you’re hoping to catch the first sunrise of the New Year. While it’s not the rooftop outdoor Sky Deck, which closed in 2024, you’ll get to watch from the indoor Sky Gallery 1, some 250 metres above sea level. The observatory features 11-metre-tall floor-to-ceiling windows, offering a stunning panorama of Tokyo with the rising sun as a magnificent backdrop. If you'd like to take part, you need to register via the Japanese-language application form by December 25; be sure to purchase a slot (up to five people per slot) while supplies last, as it is a first-come, first-served system.
