Hi Thomas, thanks for your comment and I appreciate the kind words about the guide. I completely understand that having the wording protected provides a barrier, however, as an independent publisher, I publish these guides for free and have had numerous articles and travel guides copied, pasted, then published or sold by other sites online. This was unfortunately, a necessary step in protecting my work and instead, I’ve created a club for travel photographers to access itineraries, location lists (there’s one for Tokyo), and connect with fellow travellers, share tips etc. It is a paid membership, but it’s private and a space where I can share everything unprotected without the risk of it being stolen online. Apologies again for the inconvenience, enjoy planning your trip to Tokyo.

I am sorry to say this, but I think the observation deck on top of Magnet by 109 is closed now. That’s very sad because the view of the crossing was incredible!

If you are looking for somewhere new in Tokyo, could I suggest a cemetery? Weird, I know, but you can find some excellent ones here like Aoyama, Zoshigya, and Yanaka. They are incredible places to walk around (and great for photos, too!).

Hi Iris, that one was from the Crossing View in the Magnet by 109 building at Shibuya, such a great vantage point!

Hi Connie,
Thanks so much for sharing this information! So exciting you’re living in Tokyo!
I visited in Nov 2018 and again earlier this year and it was still free to enter but this may have been after a certain time perhaps.
I’ll definitely update the post to include the cost of 300 yen so people aren’t surprised 🙂
Enjoy your time in Tokyo!

Anyway, I thought i’d just update you on Magnet by 109. I’m not sure how old your post is but I went to Magnet about a year ago on 30th October 2018 and it was free at that time, however I think that was when they had just opened. After a month of free entry they introduced a price, that price is now 300 yen. If you add 1000 yen to that you can have a selfie taken from a camera on a mechanical arm above that will get both you and the street below in the shot! 🙂

Hi James, thanks so much for letting me know of this issue! I wasn’t aware the right click script would do that and only have it there as protection for my work as in the past I’ve had people pinching images and copying entire guides. Sorry you weren’t able to operate the screen reader…I’ll try and find a suitable solution to turn it off and hopefully get it running better for you 🙂
