# Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building Observatories

That piano, decorated under Yayoi Kusama's supervision, is the Omoide Piano, free to play for five minutes at set hours of the day. Children queue like anyone else, and it is what they ask to come back for. Along the windows the handrail drops lower in places, so a toddler held to the glass shouts at the cars, not at adult coats. Two toy shops fill the middle, though, and a one-year-old can stall there. None of it is ticketed, so a short visit costs only the queue.

- Area: Tokyo
- Type: See
- Hours: Tokyo's industry and labor bureau gives the hours as 9:30 to 22:00, with entry until 30 minutes before closing.
