The 9 Best Rooftop and Terrace Bars in Tokyo (2026)

The high hotel terraces. The Rooftop Bar at Andaz Tokyo crowns the 52nd floor of Toranomon Hills Mori Tower, about 250 metres up, and the hotel describes its terrace as semi open-air: you're outside, but under a roof. It looks over Tokyo Bay, Rainbow Bridge and Odaiba. Inside there's a counter under tall ceilings and a sofa area modelled on a tea-ceremony room, and the cocktail list leans on seasonal fruit and tea.

Drinks: the Tea & Fruit and Signature cocktails are all ¥2,750 (the Tokyo Mule with Darjeeling tea and house ginger beer; the Jasmine Whisky Sour with Chivas 18), draught beer is ¥1,650, and wine by the glass starts at ¥2,750. Prices include tax, and 15% service goes on top. Table charge: none until 8pm; after that, terrace seats cost ¥2,200 a head from March to December (the hotel's pages disagree on whether staying guests pay nothing or half). Hours: 5pm to midnight, to 1am on Friday and Saturday. Book: on TableCheck, but only for arrival by 8pm. Age: over-20s only. Winter: no closure listed, and the roof keeps the rain off, though window seats depend on the weather. The catch: a cocktail after 8pm on the terrace works out at over ¥5,300 with the charge and service.

The Roof is The Tokyo EDITION, Ginza's seasonal open-air rooftop, with plant-fringed seating nooks above the Ginza streets and small Italian plates from the hotel's Sophie restaurant. It has the most expensive cocktail list here, but every price already includes tax and service.

Drinks: cocktails are ¥3,000 (Sunset in Shizuoka with Roku gin and sencha; Piazza Ginza with Bacardí and buckwheat), the two low-alcohol cocktails ¥2,500, beer ¥2,000, wine from ¥2,000 a glass. Table charge: none listed; prices include 15% service. Hours: 5pm to 11pm daily. Book: on TableCheck, for a 120-minute seat. Winter: it closes from 16 November 2026 until spring 2027, with no reopening date yet, and it can shut without notice in rain or strong wind. The catch: it has less than two weeks left this year.

Shibuya. CÉ LA VI is the rooftop group's Tokyo branch, on the 17th and 18th floors of Tokyu Plaza Shibuya, right above the station. The Restaurant & Skybar serves contemporary Asian food with alfresco seating on the roof; the Club Lounge and its Sky Music Terrace run DJ nights with a cover charge. It's the liveliest place here and the easiest to reach.

Drinks: signature cocktails are ¥2,700 to ¥3,000 (Shibuya Sunset ¥2,700, Piña Roja ¥3,000), draught beer ¥1,800, wine from ¥1,900 a glass, all including tax. Table charge: no minimum spend at the restaurant and sky bar and no cover listed for it, but 10% service is added, and orders after 10pm get another 10% late-night charge. Hours: lunch from 11am, café 3pm to 5pm, dinner 5pm to 11pm (last entry 10pm). Book: on TableCheck; outdoor tables can't be guaranteed and depend on the weather. Dress: smart casual, so no sweatshirts, tracksuits, sportswear or very casual sandals, and no sleeveless tops for men. Age: 13 and over at dinner, no alcohol under 20; the Club Lounge and Sky Music Terrace are 20 and over with ID. Winter: no seasonal closure listed. The catch: order your last round before 10pm to dodge the extra 10%. For more of the area, see our Shibuya guide.

Tokyo Station and Ginza. The Bvlgari Bar is on the 45th floor of the Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo, at the top of Tokyo Midtown Yaesu beside Tokyo Station, with a Mediterranean-style garden terrace framed by the skyline. It's open from noon, so it works for an afternoon drink as well as a late one.

Drinks: the bar doesn't publish drink prices; its set lunches start at ¥7,800, which tells you the level. Table charge: not published. Hours: noon to midnight, to 1am on Friday and Saturday. Book: you can't book the terrace, and drinks-only visits walk in (bookings close at 3pm, for lunch). Dress: smart casual. Age: over-20s only after 6pm. Winter: no closure listed; terrace seats depend on the weather. The catch: with no prices online and no terrace bookings, it's a gamble on a busy evening.

Aoyama and Omotesando. The Top. is a botanical rooftop bar on the 20th floor of The Aoyama Grand Hotel at Gaienmae, an entirely outdoor space of plants, sofas and standing tables, with electric shisha (¥4,500 an hour) for those who want it. Its early-evening happy hour makes it good value.

Drinks: signature cocktails are ¥2,100 to ¥2,600 (Jasmine Negroni ¥2,100, Tropical Espresso Martini ¥2,600), beer ¥1,500 to ¥2,000, wine ¥2,000 a glass, and from 5.30pm to 7.30pm everything on the happy-hour list is ¥1,000. Table charge: ¥1,000 a head (free for hotel guests), plus 10% service on the pre-tax bill. Hours: 5.30pm to 11pm. Book: the hotel says it doesn't take reservations, so walk in. Dress: no beach sandals, and men shouldn't come in just a tank top. Age: over-20s only. Winter: it only opens from April to the end of November, and it's closed when it rains. The catch: it's closed from December until April.

Two Rooms Grill | Bar isn't on a roof: it's on the fifth floor of the AO building, a minute from Omotesando Station, with a terrace off the bar. It's an all-day grill restaurant that turns into a late bar, open until 2am every night, and the cocktails are cheaper than at the hotel rooftops.

Drinks: classic cocktails are ¥1,880 to ¥2,800 (Negroni ¥1,880, Aperol Spritz ¥2,000), mojitos ¥1,850 to ¥2,200, draught beer from ¥1,200 and wine from ¥1,700 a glass, plus 10% service. Table charge: ¥1,000 a head on the terrace after 6pm on Fridays and Saturdays only. Hours: 11.30am to 2am daily. Book: on TableCheck. Age: there's a children's menu for under-12s at mealtimes. Winter: no seasonal closure listed. The catch: the view is of Aoyama's low buildings rather than a skyline.

Asakusa. R restaurant & bar is on the 13th floor of The Gate Hotel Kaminarimon, a short walk from Senso-ji, with 20 terrace seats looking over the Asakusa rooftops to Tokyo Skytree. It's a restaurant first, open from breakfast, but there's a bar counter and you can come just for a drink.

Drinks: draught beer is ¥1,100, wine from ¥1,380 a glass, champagne ¥2,200, sake from ¥1,380, all including tax with no service charge, which makes it the cheapest hotel terrace here after Terrace G. Hours: 6.30am to 10.30pm; dinner from 5pm. Book: online. Winter: no closure listed. The catch: there's no cocktail list on the menu, so think beer, wine or sake. For the rest of the neighbourhood, see our Asakusa guide.

Shinjuku, on a budget. roof top bar & terrace G is on the 13th floor of the Shinjuku Granbell Hotel, in the middle of Kabukicho. It's not glamorous, but it's the cheapest outdoor drink on this list, with 62 terrace seats looking over the Shinjuku lights, and the hotel says the terrace is open all year, with hot cocktails in winter.

Drinks: most cocktails are ¥1,050 to ¥1,450 (gin and tonic ¥1,050, Margarita ¥1,200), a medium draught Premium Malt's is ¥950, and wine is ¥800 a glass. Until 7pm, beer, bourbon and wine are ¥700. Table charge: ¥500 a head (free for hotel guests), with no service charge, and prices include tax. Hours: 5pm to 4am Monday to Saturday; 2pm to 10.30pm on Sundays and holidays. Book: only hotel guests can, so walk in. Winter: open all year. The catch: smoking is allowed on the terrace, so you may share it with smokers. For more of the area, see our Shinjuku guide.

Closed for the season. SOAK is the rooftop restaurant and bar on the 18th floor of MIYASHITA PARK North in Shibuya, on top of the sequence hotel. Its open-air OYU Terrace, with water to paddle in, ended its 2026 season at the end of September and is due back in July 2027, so for now this is an indoor bar with a view.

Drinks: signature cocktails are ¥2,000 to ¥2,300 and classics ¥1,800, beer from ¥1,100, all including tax. Table charge: a ¥1,000 music & table charge per person, plus 10% service if you arrive after 10pm. Hours: Italian-style dinner 5pm to 10pm, then a cocktail bar with DJs from 10pm to 1am (DJs Thursday to Sunday from 9pm). Book: online. Winter: the bar is open; the terrace isn't. The catch: until July 2027 you won't be sitting outside.
