Picking a slot in December
Choose a timed entry 40–60 minutes before sunset. Arrive at the 14F gate 10–15 minutes before your 20-minute window opens.
December sunsets land around 16:28–16:29 in 2026 — exact minutes shift by date, so check the day-of forecast the morning you visit.
Inventory opens 14 days ahead at 00:00 JST. Weekend evening bands often sell out on release night.
Pricing reminder
There is no separate sunset SKU. Most December golden-hour visits use the from-15:00 online adult band (¥3,400).
The cheaper enter-by-14:59 band (¥2,700) only works if queues are short enough to reach the roof before sunset — risky in winter months.
