夜景が一望出来て良かったです。下からエレベーターで上がるのにだいたい15分待ち、上から降りるときも、だいたい10分位は待ちでした。展望フロアにはトイレが無く、1階下のフロアに降りるとトイレが有ります。 300度近くの夜景が見えると思います。展望フロアでは、軽食や飲み物コーナーも有り、都庁土産も売っていました。エレベーターで下に降りてからは、広場から都庁に映るマッピングを観ることが出来ます。

ここから富士山をみたいのは観光客なら誰でも望むところではないでしょうか?なかなかスッキリと富士山の姿を見ることは難しいです。今回もモヤッとした景色の中にかろうじてその影をみることができました。南展望室はピアノがあるので今までも複数回訪れていました。時間外だったり、コロナの対応で展望室そのものに入れなかったりして今回初めてピアノを弾くことができました。係の方はとても親切な上、励まし上手でした。とても上手い方々が多く演奏されているのでハードルが高いと聞いていました。本当にそうでしたが、初心者にもそこに居合わせた皆さんが拍手してくださるなど温かい目で見守ってくれました。またいつか最後まで間違えずに弾けるよう、練習しようも思います😊

とにかく景色がよく無料で見れるのでいい観光地だと思います。人気観光地です。デートなど向いていると思います。観光案内所があるので次行くところも決められると思います。新宿駅からだと地下道を通ると5分くらいで行けます。動く歩道があります。有名人がよくピアノを弾いている都庁ピアノ展望台にがあります。富士山、筑波山、赤城山、東京タワー、スカイツリー、霞ヶ浦、東京ベイエリア、太平洋、東京湾などが見えます。中でも富士山はとにかく綺麗です。また、インバウンドの影響で外国人が沢山いました。
