Things to do in Tokyo, Kanto: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks

December 24, 2021 Harland Bartelt

Tradition collides with pop culture in Tokyo, where you can reverently wander ancient temples before rocking out at a karaoke bar. Wake up before the sun to catch the lively fish auction at the Tsukiji Market, then refresh with a walk beneath the cherry blossom trees that line the Sumida River. Spend some time in the beautiful East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, then brush up on your Japanese history at the Edo-Tokyo Museum. Don’t forget to eat as much sushi, udon noodles, and wagashi (Japanese sweets) as your belly can handle.

Odaiba Kaihin Koen (Odaiba Seaside Park)

Odaiba Marine Park has sand and rocks surrounding a quiet cove that spreads out beside Daiba Park (Battery #3). Odaiba is one of Japan’s lading tourist spots sporting a fusion of natural water and greenery with futuristic scenery such as Rainbow Bridge, the Fuji Television Building and urban resort hotels. This is the heart of the continuously evolving coastal subcenter of Tokyo. You can spend a fun time regardless of the season at Odaiba Marine Park, which is also famed as a standard stop for students on school trips and travelers from within Japan and abroad. Many have been spiritually soothed by the truly magnificent and beautiful sunset and night view seen from Odaiba Marine Park. You can enjoy the view as you stroll along the beach or grassy lawns, or from the observation deck or the Skywalk.

There is nice beach, however if I understood correctly, you are not allowed to swim. Interestingly the beach and entire area is man made. You have nice view from here towards the Rainbow bridge, which you most likely crossed to get here. And you have nice sunset view. There is also Statue of Liberty and shopping mall with plenty of restaurants, if you get hungry.

Fuji TV Odaiba

On Odaiba, an artificial island developed to showcase futuristic living, the Fuji TV Building is an eye-catching landmark. It sits like a docked space shuttle atop a hyper-modern lattice building.

Unicorn Gundam Statue

Reviewed By sohlman33 - Brookfield, United States

We always make sure to stop in Odaiba to see the 1:1 Gundam every time we go to Japan. From the classic RX-78 to the current Unicorn I do feel this is landmark of Japan loved by the people who live there and foreigners alike. This should clearly be on the list for people who like anime, robots, science fiction, etc - but I would say there's a good chance anyone would enjoy seeing something like this come to life. It's a work of art. Relatively quick to get to from multiple train stops, and the Diver City mall is quite extensive with a good food court as well.

Absolutely fascinating to watch the animation of the clock, with the hands waltzing to the music and the rest of the giant clock displaying quite a spectacle.

Statue of Liberty

We went to Odaiba seaside park and came across a replica of the Statue of Liberty. Quite nicely built. No need to go to New York.
