Cancellation & Refund Policy

Everything you need to know about cancellations, refund eligibility and how to submit a request.

Key Rule

Key rule: With Refund Protection, Cancellation and Rescheduling up to 24 hours before the scheduled entry time. Otherwise rescheduling up to 72 hours in advance. Bookings without Refund Protection are non-refundable.

We understand that travel plans can shift. Sometimes schedules change, unexpected issues arise, or questions come up after a booking is completed. This page explains how cancellations and refunds work for Shibuya Sky tickets purchased through our website.

Our Role as Ticket Provider

Shibuya Sky Tour handles ticket reservations for timed-entry tickets for Shibuya Sky in Tokyo. When you make a reservation through our website:

  • Your purchase is completed directly with us
  • We process your payment securely
  • We issue and deliver your boarding tickets
  • We manage cancellation and refund requests according to the ticket terms shown at checkout

Cancellation Windows

All bookings on our platform follow the same cancellation rule:

  • With Refund Protection — more than 24 hours before departure: You may cancel for free and receive a full refund. Send your cancellation request to our support team.
  • With Refund Protection — within 24 hours of departure: The booking is non-refundable and cannot be rescheduled.
  • Without Refund Protection: The booking is non-refundable from the moment of purchase, regardless of the reason. Rescheduling is available up to 72 hours in advance.

Approved refunds are typically processed within 5 to 10 business days, depending on your payment method.

When Full Refunds May Also Be Available

  • Operator cancellation: If the operator officially cancels your entry time and no alternative is offered, you receive a full refund regardless of the Refund Protection window.
  • Confirmed ticket issues: If a ticket is verified as invalid due to a system error and boarding is denied for reasons directly related to the ticket itself, a full refund is issued after verification.
  • Tickets not delivered: If your ticket does not arrive before your scheduled departure, contact us immediately so we can reissue or refund it.

When Refunds Are Not Available

  • Changes in personal travel plans or scheduling conflicts
  • Late arrival at the dock or missed boarding time
  • Selecting the wrong date, departure time or ticket quantity
  • Tickets lost, misplaced or deleted after delivery
  • Failure to follow boarding instructions or required ID checks

Tickets operate rain or shine — weather alone does not trigger a refund. Only an operator cancellation does.

How to Request a Cancellation or Refund

You can submit a request online using your booking reference and email, or write to us at info@shibuyaskytour.com with:

  • Your booking reference number
  • The full name used at checkout
  • Your scheduled date and entry time
  • A brief explanation of your request

Our Commitment to Fair Review

Every refund inquiry is reviewed individually by a member of our support team — not by automation. If a refund is approved, confirmation is sent by email along with information about expected processing timelines. If a request does not qualify under the applicable terms, we explain the reasons clearly.
