Remember to wear shorts or pants that can be rolled up above the knee, otherwise you'll be forced to change into the provided shorts. You'll start by washing your feet. It's fun and photogenic; you can finish in an hour and a half. Taking the Seagull Line offers a great view of Tokyo from another angle.
If you have a KKDAY e-ticket, just queue up at the elevator area and have the staff scan your QR code. The elevator is located on the fourth floor of the observation deck. There will be a security check before taking the elevator, and it's about a five-minute ride to the 345-meter level. After walking around, you can consider buying an extra ticket on-site, or if you already have a ticket for the gallery, just scan your original QR code to go up. However, I felt one staff member was a bit rude. Two people had two QR codes, but only scanned one. The second time, when they were just confirming that the other QR code didn't need to be scanned, the staff member suddenly became very harsh, repeating in Japanese that this was enough (one QR code was fine), and their expression was also fierce. They waved me away, which slightly spoiled the experience. However, the other staff members were great, always smiling, so it was still worth it.
Also, the tickets are really not cheap, but like Taipei 101 in Taiwan, you have to go at least once in your life. It takes about 1.5 hours to get down! Of course, most people weren't very interested, just wanting to see what Tokyo looked like from the air. Since it was cloudy, they couldn't see Mount Fuji, but it was already pretty good that it wasn't raining or foggy!
