Tokyo Station
Tokyo Station, the starting point for sightseeing in Tokyo, is a representative station in Japan, and the station itself is a tourist spot. The area around the station is crowded, but the roads are well maintained, so renting a car is very convenient for sightseeing.
There are car rental offices of various companies within a 5-minute walk, and since they are mainly major rental car companies, you can return your car to offices within Tokyo, outside Tokyo, or near tourist spots. Let's go for a sightseeing drive around Tokyo, centered around Tokyo Station.
Tokyo Tower
Tokyo Tower is 333m high and also serves as a radio tower. From the 250m-high top deck, you can enjoy a 360-degree view of Odaiba, Rainbow Bridge, and the buildings of Shinjuku.
We recommend the ``Top Deck Tour,'' which takes you to the top deck in a glass elevator. The "Skywalk Window" on the 150m high main deck allows you to experience walking on a glass floor.
Meiji Jingu
Meiji Shrine was built in 1920 and is a great place to visit power spots. Although it is located in the city center, it is surrounded by nature and has a mysterious atmosphere, and the wooden torii gate made from a 1,500-year-old cypress tree is the largest in Japan.
There are plenty of things to see, such as Meoto Kusunoki, Treasure Hall, and Kameishi. You can find cute heart marks on gates, moats, etc., so be sure to check them out.
Sensoji Temple
Sensoji Temple is the oldest temple in Tokyo, and the large red lantern "Kaminarimon" at the entrance is a popular spot as a landmark of Asakusa. The official name is ``Furaijinmon'' because the gods of wind and thunder are placed on either side of the gate.
Beyond Kaminarimon is the Nakamise Dori Shopping Street, which stretches all the way to Sensoji Temple and is lined with about 90 shops. Also, various events are held on the grounds throughout the year.
Tokyo Skytree(R)
As a new symbol of Tokyo, it is the world's tallest tower with a height of 634m, which opened on May 22, 2012 as a radio tower and tourist facility. There is also a commercial facility called ``Tokyo Solamachi(R)'', an aquarium, and a planetarium, so you can have fun all day long.
From the two observation decks, the Tembo Corridor (450m) and the Tembo Deck (350m), you can see central Tokyo and the entire Kanto region, and it is also attractive that you can enjoy different views during the day and at night. is.
Lake Okutama
Lake Okutama is a place where you can enjoy the beauty of each season, including cherry blossoms, fresh greenery, autumn leaves, and winter scenery. On the southern shore of Lake Okutama is the Tokyo Metropolitan Okutama Lakeside Park Mountain Hometown Village, which is crowded with many leisure travelers.
Okutama's famous floating bridge spans the surface of Lake Okutama. There is the ``Drum Can Bridge,'' which used drum cans for floating structures in the past, and the ``Mugiyama Floating Bridge,'' which connects National Route 411 and the Okutama loop road.
Enjoy sightseeing in Tokyo from Haneda Airport
Haneda Airport is one of Japan's largest airports, with the fourth busiest number of passengers among all airports in the world. There are many restaurants and shops within the airport, so many people come to enjoy the airport itself without boarding a plane.
If you would like to visit sightseeing spots in a rental car starting from Haneda Airport, you can make arrangements at the rental car reception counter on the 1st floor of Passenger Terminal 1 or Terminal 2. Using a rental car drop-off service increases your travel freedom.
