Time Out says

Formerly known as Sky Circus, this observation deck on the 60th floor of Ikebukuro’s Sunshine City underwent a major revamp and reopened in early 2023 as Tembo Park. It’s now a relaxing indoor park with artificial turf, comfortable seating and the same beautiful views out across the city.

The main area is Tembo no Oka, which means ‘observatory hill’ in Japanese. Here you can put down a picnic mat or take a seat on one of the couches while gazing out of the windows from 251 metres above ground.

Next to Tembo no Oka is a café where you can get the likes of curries, sandwiches and smoothies. It’s also okay to bring in lunch from outside during weekdays from 11.30am to 2pm.

What’s on

Tembo Park Sakura Festival

Catch the sight of cherry blossoms before anywhere else at the 60th floor observatory of Ikebukuro’s Sunshine City this spring. From February 27 to May 11, the relaxing indoor park with artificial turf will be decorated with colourful cherry blossom decorations, including branches from real Somei Yoshino cherry trees nearby. These will be set up mainly around the Tembo no Oka (‘observatory hill’) area. Since the observatory’s whole hanami experience can be enjoyed indoors, there’s no need to worry about the weather or any irritating pollen flying around. During the event period, the Tembo Park Cafe will be offering a special hanami menu featuring treats such as the Tenkuu Strawberry au Lait and the pink Sakura Mont Blanc. You can borrow a picnic blanket at the venue and sit down on the turf with your refreshments.  If you’re visiting after nightfall, don’t miss the chance to try the Moonlight Lemon Sour, which is inspired by the moonlit night sky. It’s the perfect boozy complement to the beautifully illuminated cherry blossom ornaments and eye-catching views of Tokyo.
