"Transportation was very difficult, and the helicopter pilot's microphone wasn't working. We only took 1 tour by helicopter. The organizers' level of English was slightly below average."

How a Tokyo Helicopter Tour Works
Pick the flight and the time of day, send the names and weights, and be at the heliport half an hour early.
Pick the Flight
Ten minutes over the bay, half an hour past the Skytree and Tokyo Tower, fifty minutes at night, or a Mount Fuji flight. Check what the price covers: some are per person, others one price for the helicopter.
Choose the Time
Daylight shows the layout of the city and, on clear winter days, Mount Fuji; after dark is for the lights. On the Skytree and Tokyo Tower flight, a slot before sunset flies in daylight.
Send the Details
The operator needs every passenger's name, age and weight before the day; missing details can mean you are not allowed to board. A child under two can ride on an adult's lap.
Arrive Early and Fly
Be at the heliport at least 30 minutes before take-off for the safety briefing. If the weather is not safe to fly, the operator cancels the flight.

The Guide
Booking a Helicopter Flight Over Tokyo: Which Flight, Which Heliport, What It Costs
Ten minutes over the bay, half an hour past both towers, a night flight or Mount Fuji. Here is how the Tokyo flights differ, and which one fits your trip.
A Tokyo helicopter tour is 10 to 50 minutes over the largest city in the world, close enough to look across at the Skytree and down into Tokyo Tower’s lights. The flight this page puts first is the Skytree and Tokyo Tower Helicopter Tour: 30 minutes past both towers and along the bay, by day or after dark, for one to four passengers, with a pilot who points out the landmarks. It costs from US$416 a person (checked October 2026) and is rated 5.0 out of 5 from 30 reviews, eight of them this year.
Check dates for the Skytree and Tokyo Tower flight
Reviewers mention the pilot pointing out each landmark, and how close the Skytree looks; one flew in the rainy season with a typhoon on the way and still had a clear night view. The one thing to plan for is the heliport. This flight takes off from Chiba Wangan Heliport, on the bay in Chiba City by Inage Seaside Park, not in central Tokyo, and two reviewers found it hard to get to or to find. Allow time, and take a taxi from the station.
Tokyo Heliport or Chiba?
Two heliports serve the flights on sale here. Tokyo Heliport, at Shin-Kiba on the bay in Koto, is the close one: about ten minutes by train from Tokyo Station to Shin-Kiba and a short bus or taxi ride. The private flights and the Mount Fuji flight leave from there. Chiba Wangan Heliport is further round the bay in Chiba City; the Skytree and Tokyo Tower flight and the 50-minute night flight use it. The heliport guide has the directions for both.
Book whichever fits your trip:
Both towers, day or night
Skytree and Tokyo Tower Flight
Close beside the Skytree, round Tokyo Tower and back along the lit bay, for one to four passengers.
Check dates →Private, close to the city
Private Flight from Tokyo Heliport
One price for the helicopter: the bay and Tokyo Tower in 10 minutes, Ginza and the Skytree in 20, Shibuya and Shinjuku in 30.

Every Tokyo helicopter flight on GetYourGuide
Seven helicopter flights over Tokyo and to Mount Fuji were on sale in October 2026, which is a short list, so here are all of them:
| Flight | From | Priced | In the air | Takes off from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private Flight from Tokyo Heliport | US$574 | up to 3 | 10, 20 or 30 min | Tokyo Heliport |
| Skytree and Tokyo Tower Flight | US$416 | per person | 30 min | Chiba Wangan |
| 50-Minute Premium Night Flight | US$598 | per person | 50 min | Chiba Wangan |
| 10-Minute Flight with Car Transfer | US$861 | per person | 10 min | From Shinkiba Station |
| City Sights and Skytree Private Ride | US$1,276 | per person | Private | With hotel pickup |
| Mt Fuji Helicopter Tour | US$2,679 | up to 3 | Private | Tokyo Heliport |
| Mt Fuji and Tokyo Skyline Ride | US$5,741 | up to 3 | Private | With pickup |
The two with transfers cost more than the flights themselves because a car and a guide are added; if you can get to the heliport on your own, the plain flights are better value. There is also a tandem skydive from a helicopter for the very brave, from US$1,148 a person.
Per person or per helicopter?
This is the part that changes the price most. The Skytree and Tokyo Tower flight is priced per person, from US$416, and the operator notes that the price varies with the number of passengers, so choose your group size on the calendar to see the total. The private flight from Tokyo Heliport is one price for the helicopter and up to three passengers, so three people pay US$574 between them. The price guide works out the cost for one, two and three of you.
Day, sunset or night
By day you see the layout of the city, the bay and its bridges, and on a clear winter morning Mount Fuji on the horizon. After dark it is the lights: both towers lit, the bay shore and the glow of Shinjuku and Shibuya. Sunset gives some of each. On the Skytree and Tokyo Tower flight, a slot booked before sunset flies in daylight, and a flight booked before 19:00 may not be able to go towards Tokyo Tower because of flight restrictions, in which case you can take a full refund. The best time guide and the night flight page have more.
Mount Fuji by helicopter
Two private flights go out to Mount Fuji: one from Tokyo Heliport and back, and one with pickup that adds Kamakura, Enoshima and the Shonan coast. Neither has many reviews yet, and Fuji is often hidden by cloud in summer, so the Mount Fuji page covers when it is most likely to be clear.
Before you book
- Names, ages and weights. Operators need them for every passenger before the day; on the Skytree and Tokyo Tower flight missing details can mean being refused boarding. The weight and passenger guide explains why.
- Arrive early. Be at the heliport at least 30 minutes before take-off for the briefing and the passenger list.
- Weather. The operator decides on the day and cancels if it is not safe to fly; every flight here also has free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
- The route. See what each flight covers in the route guide, and whether it is worth it for you in the worth it guide.

What Guests Say About the Skytree and Tokyo Tower Flight
5.0/5
from 30 verified guests
"It was very good, the communication was very fast and clear. The flight plan was really good and the scenaries were amazing. We could see many of the major Tokyo sites beautifully. Pilot was kind and it was a smooth flight. I really recommend ! Just make sure to plan enough time to reach the helipad, it took 1h30 transport from Shibuya."
"It was the rainy season and a typhoon was coming, so I was worried, but I boarded safely and was able to see a very beautiful night view, so I was very satisfied! Thank you. ♪"
"It was an amazing experience! The staffs were super nice and helpful. The pilot pointed out all the landmarks, I felt very safe and comfortable for my first time on a helicopter. Highly recommended, it's the best way to see tokyo, definitely worth splurging on the tour."
"It was extremely enriching for me and my friends in terms of our entire vacation. We were very excited and knew it would be something special, but our expectations were even exceeded!!! I wish I could give more stars."
"Amazing experience! Breathtaking view over the city by nighttime."
"Excellent welcome, excellent service, excellent driver – everything was perfect. Thank you 🙏🏼"
"The tour was great! Especially since we made it during afternoon hours. The heliport was a bit difficult to find. Maybe if you could arrange a pick up from the nearest metro station would be much more convenient. I surely recommend to all Tokyo visitors!"

Tokyo Helicopter Tour FAQ
The questions people ask before booking a helicopter flight over Tokyo, answered in the first sentence.
From US$416 a person for the 30-minute Skytree and Tokyo Tower flight, or US$574 for a private 10-minute flight for up to three, on GetYourGuide in October 2026. A 50-minute night flight starts at US$598 a person, and the Mount Fuji flight at US$2,679 for up to three. The price guide works out the cost per head.
Yes: two flights on GetYourGuide go to Mount Fuji, both private for up to three. The Mt Fuji Helicopter Tour leaves from and returns to Tokyo Heliport, from US$2,679, and the Mt Fuji and Tokyo Skyline ride adds Kamakura, Enoshima and the Shonan coast, with pickup, from US$5,741. The Mount Fuji page compares them.
Yes, if you want the size of Tokyo and both towers in one view, or a moment such as a proposal; less so on a tight budget. An observation deck shows the city from one fixed point; a helicopter moves through it and comes close to the Skytree. Reviewers of the Skytree and Tokyo Tower flight call it the highlight of their trip. The worth it guide weighs it up.
From 10 to 50 minutes in the air over the city, and longer to Mount Fuji. The private flight from Tokyo Heliport is 10, 20 or 30 minutes, the Skytree and Tokyo Tower flight 30 minutes, and the night flight 50. Allow another 30 minutes or more at the heliport for check-in and the safety briefing.
From Tokyo Heliport at Shin-Kiba on the bay, or from Chiba Wangan Heliport near Inage Seaside Park in Chiba. The private flights and the Mount Fuji flight use Tokyo Heliport; the Skytree and Tokyo Tower flight and the night flight use Chiba Wangan. The heliport guide explains how to get to each.
Yes: the operator asks for every passenger's weight before the flight, and limits depend on the helicopter. On the Skytree and Tokyo Tower flight the names, ages and weights of all passengers are required, and missing details can mean being refused boarding. The weight and passenger guide has the details.
Yes, with an adult. On the Skytree and Tokyo Tower flight and the night flight, a child under two can ride free on an adult's lap in the back seat, one lap child per flight, and children cannot fly without an adult.
The operator decides on the day whether it is safe to fly, and cancels if it is not. Wind, low cloud and storms are the usual reasons. Every Tokyo flight on GetYourGuide also has free cancellation up to 24 hours before, if your own plans change.
Day for the shape of the city, the bay and, on a clear winter morning, Mount Fuji; night for the lights. Sunset, when the city lights come on, gives some of both. The best time guide goes season by season, and the night flight page covers the after-dark options.
US$574 in total for a private 10-minute flight that holds up to three, or from US$416 a person on the Skytree and Tokyo Tower flight, on GetYourGuide in October 2026. On the per-person flight the price changes with how many of you fly, so pick two passengers on the calendar to see your total; the price guide compares the two.
