Now is your chance to explore some of Tokyo’s top attractions at reduced prices. First Tokyo Skytree started offering half price tickets exclusively for Tokyo residents, and now Sunshine 60 Observatory Sky Circus in Ikebukuro has followed suit, with 20 percent off entry for Tokyoites, as well as anyone working and studying in the capital.
Sky Circus is not only famous for its stunning city views from the 60th floor, but also for its lineup of activities and virtual reality experiences. Some of its most popular attractions include the Tokyo Bullet Flight, where you’ll travel 251m above a futuristic version of Tokyo, and the Swing Coaster, a virtual roller coaster ride through Ikebukuro. Note that additional fees apply for the VR attractions.
Until August 30, you’ll be able to visit the observation deck for just ¥1,000 (high school and university students ¥750; junior high and primary school students ¥500; children aged 4 and older ¥250). Don’t forget to bring proof of your address, work or study in order to get the discount.
