Information
- The observatories open at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, February 24, 2013 because the "TOKYO MARATHON 2013" is held on that day.

- The observatory elevators are going to be under repair from July 2, 2012 to the latter part of November 2013. Due to the reduced number of elevators in operation, overcrowding and longer than usual wait times are expected. As a result, admission to the observatories may be restricted depending on the level of congestion. Your understanding and cooperation is appreciated.
