Klook voucher made it so much easier and cheaper. Just show your klook voucher for scanning and you're good to go. It's a nice view of Tokyo from Shibuya sky. We took a lot of photos in here.

The bus arrived on time. The driver was very polite and would double check whether it was going to Narita Airport. The journey to the airport was smooth and point-to-point. No need to carry luggage.

An incredible experience! Exploring the outdoor area was a delight and the bird’s-eye view of Tokyo is truly breathtaking. I strongly recommend securing tickets in advance, as they were sold out when we arrived. The views were spectacular, even outside the sunset timeslot.

The train ride was an experience. Aside from flying domestic, this is one of the most convenient and fastest way to go travel to and from Osaka. Will definitely book again in my next trip!

You can purchase it a few minutes before you use it. We bought it the same day, like 5 minutes before, and we were already at the station while buying, then just waited for the QR to get it from the machine. Thank you Klook!
