[Tokyo] Introducing towns where you can experience gourmet food and public baths during your transit at Haneda Airport!

Ota Ward, located in the southeastern part of Tokyo, is home to Haneda Airport, the gateway to the world, and the neighboring Tenkubashi Station, where Haneda Innovation City, a hub for new industries, is located. The area is bustling with business people and foreign tourists.

Meanwhile, if you travel a little further from the airport, the Kamata and Omori areas are home to lively, old-fashioned shopping streets and gourmet spots, the largest number of public baths in Tokyo, and nature-rich parks and gardens such as Heiwa no Mori Park and Jonanjima Seaside Park.

In addition, old townscapes with shrines and culture remain, making it a city with a variety of charms.

Ota Ward, where Haneda Airport is located, is easily accessible from the airport, so it's also recommended for those who want to spend a few hours sightseeing during their transit.

This time, we would like to introduce the charms of Ota Ward in the following order. When you arrive at Haneda, be sure to visit Ota Ward!
