Fuji Television Headquarters

This unique building has become an Odaiba landmark. The symbolic spherical observation platform on the 25th floor is open to the public (there is an admission charge). First take the tube escalator from the main entrance on the first floor to the seventh floor (Fuji Television Plaza). Buy a ticket there and take the non-stop elevator to the observation platform.

You can see a full panoramic view of the waterfront area from 100 meters above ground. On a clear day, you can also see Mount Fuji. Very popular as gifts, Fuji Television goods are available in the 7th floor Original Goods Shop. You can see the giant Ferris wheel and enjoy the popular rooftop garden.

Take the escalator down to the 5th floor and you will find the Studio Promenade. There is an exhibition corner for current drama programs and you can pose for a photo on the mini-set for a popular variety program. You can also tour the studio where current programs are being taped and, if you are lucky, you might even be able to catch an actual taping.
