The 16 Best Restaurants with a View in Tokyo (2026)
Sixteen Tokyo dining rooms with a view, from the 24th floor of The Peninsula Tokyo to the 52nd floor of Park Hyatt Tokyo and Floor 345 of the Tokyo Skytree Tembo Deck.
Why we wrote this guide
This guide covers sixteen Tokyo dining rooms chosen for the view, from the 24th floor of The Peninsula Tokyo, facing the Imperial Palace gardens, to the 52nd floor of Park Hyatt Tokyo, plus one higher still: Sky Restaurant 634, on Floor 345 of the Tokyo Skytree Tembo Deck. Almost all are hotel restaurants, and the kitchens run from an American grill and French tasting menus to Italian, Cantonese, kaiseki and teppanyaki.
The views differ as much as the food. Kozue and Hinokizaka can show Mount Fuji on clear days, Pigneto, Peter and The Tavern look toward the Imperial Palace, and Sense and The Tavern take in Tokyo Skytree. A few have outdoor seating, and at The Jade Room + Garden Terrace and Pigneto it depends on the weather. At Peter, Arva and The Tavern, certain set plans come with a guaranteed window table, so it is worth reading each restaurant's page before booking. Outside Las Vegas the restaurant reservation sits with the venue, not with us.
