🪴KITTE Garden

📍Address: 6F KITTE Marunouchi, 2 Chome−7−2, Chiyoda City, Marunouchi, Tokyo 100-0005
💞Reasons for recommendation: “KITTE opened in March 2013 as Japan Post’s first commercial facility in front of the Marunouchi South Exit of JR Tokyo Station. It was built by preserving and renovating part of the former Tokyo Central Post Office building, and features an atrium. On the 6th floor is the open rooftop garden “KITTE Garden”, which covers an area of about 1,500 square meters, and is crowded with people who come to shop and eat every day. The rooftop garden has a design bench that looks like a giant white cheese with holes. The lawn is well-maintained and has a nice atmosphere. Footlights have been installed at the foot of the lush garden to reduce glare and make it easier to view the surrounding night view. Below stands the red-brick Tokyo Station Marunouchi Building, which was completed in 1914 and designated an Important Cultural Property in 2003. The station building was restored to its original appearance in 2012 and is lit up in brilliant red, creating an impressive sight. You can also enjoy the uplifting night view, including the lights from the windows of the Shinkansen and trains arriving and departing within the station, the lights of taxis and buses passing in front of the station, and the lights from the windows of the Marunouchi buildings. If you want to enjoy a more gorgeous world view, we recommend weekday evenings, when you can see more lights from the windows of the surrounding office buildings. 』
