Skip the main skyscraper lines and head straight to the 38th-floor observation deck for free skyline views. It hits different at dusk when the lights turn on. Spend an hour wandering the brick paths, grab a beer at the Yebisu Beer Museum, and leave the luxury mall stores to the window shoppers. If you want a clean shot of Tokyo Tower without the crowds, this is your move. Bring a sweater, the wind up there bites.
