Shiodome Station

Shiodome Station is a connecting station with the Toei Oedo Line and the Yurikamome Tokyo Rinkai Shinkotsu Rinkai Line. Station numbers have been established for both companies, with Toei Subway being E 19 and Yurikamome being U 02.

Conrad Tokyo (30 minutes)

Conrad Tokyo, a hotel in Shiodome, Tokyo. It is within walking distance from Shimbashi and Ginza, and is in a great location overlooking Tokyo Bay and Hamarikyu Gardens. The height of the formalism and the modern Japanese-style space give you a relaxing time.

Hamarikyu (60 minutes)

It is a strolling artificial hill spring water garden with tide that takes in seawater from Tokyo Bay and enjoys the change of scenery by the ebb and flow of the tide. There are duck fields, tide ponds, teahouses, flower fields and button gardens in the park.

In the early 2000s, the former Shiodome cargo terminal on the west side was redeveloped, and the Shiodome skyscrapers stand in a forest, which contrasts with the garden.

It was created as a garden for the Kofu clan’s residence in the Edo period, and was given to Tokyo after passing through the Tokugawa Shogunate’s villa Hamarikyu Gardens and a detached palace managed by the Imperial Household Ministry, and was opened as a metropolitan park. In recent years, the reconstruction of several buildings that used to be in the park has been underway, and four teahouses have been restored.

Waters Takeshiba (30 minutes)

With the vision of “a town that creates the next affluence,” the existing five buildings have been consolidated into three buildings, a tower building, a theater building, and a parking lot, and have been upgraded.

We aimed to create a new town centered on the cultural and artistic transmission functions that we have cultivated with the Shiki Theater Company.

Zoujoji Temple (30 minutes)

The most attractive thing about the Shiba Park / Zoujoji area is that it is close to Tokyo Tower. You can worship Tokyo Tower in the park and everywhere in the precincts. The contrast between the large and magnificent main shrine, the stairs that follow it, and the towering Tokyo Tower behind it creates a landscape that makes you want to point your camera at it.

Tokyo Tower (90 minutes)

Opened in 1958, it is a 333m high radio tower located in the center of Tokyo. There are two observatories, the main deck (150m) and the top deck (250m), and you can see Mt. Fuji, Mt. Tsukuba, both the Boso and Miura peninsulas, Tokyo Sky Tree and Tokyo Gate Bridge.

 In addition to the usual light-up “Landmark Light”, the “Diamond Veil”, which is only available on Mondays and special days, creates a night view of Tokyo in various colors.

In the commercial building “Foot Town” under the tower, there are restaurants, souvenir shops and amusement facilities, so you can enjoy it all day long.
