The Tokyo Helicopter cruise is a fun and exciting way to see the beautiful city of Tokyo!
The 15minute ride takes you 600 meters high above the skyline, where you can enjoy the cites beautiful landmarks like Mt Fuji fading away in the background, or the famed Tokyo Sky Tree that darts from the ground like a neo-futuristic beacon made of steel and shimmering lights.

Booking your flight is made so much easier with the Klook App.
The guaranteed price of P10,282 gets you a single boarding pass and an option for a Day-Flight or Night-Flight.
A shuttle service is provided for bookies, and the pickup point is near Maihama Station.
You can take the Subway lines or JR lines straight to Maihama Station and wait near the Bus stop in front of the North Exit.
A shuttle will arrive at 7 pm and transport you to the Urayasu heliport.
Once inside present your booking receipt to the receptionist. The staff is friendly and they speak good English.
After filling out a waiver you will be given a single boarding pass.
You can hang around in the lobby before boarding, and order refreshments.
You will be briefed on the does-and-don’ts when taking your Helicopter cruise.
We were unable to document the process due to company regulations, and picture taking is strictly prohibited unless specified.
Flight
15 minutes might seem a bit short, but well worth it.
Seeing Tokyo from high in the sky is something truly to behold.
You wouldn’t really have an idea of just how huge Tokyo actually is until you’ve seen it by helicopter.
We chose the Night-Flight due to our scheduling and we were told that seeing Tokyo from the Sky at night is a once in a lifetime experience we wouldn’t forget.
Note: Taking pictures of the exterior of the craft are prohibited and when inside, flash photography is NOT allowed, for safety reasons.
Final Thoughts
After your flight, you are given a boarding certificate as a memento of your adventure. It’s a neat keepsake that you can hang on your wall.
All-in-all, it’s safe to say that an evening helicopter cruise through your favorite city is something that almost everyone has on their bucket list.
We were glad to have gotten the chance to see Tokyo in a way not many tourists get to.
