Romantic Night Views in Marunouchi: 4 Stunning Spots for an Elegant Tokyo Date
Marunouchi, the heart of Tokyo, is a bustling business district during the day, but at night it takes on a completely different look, with a romantic and sophisticated atmosphere. The nightscape, decorated with historic architecture and sophisticated illumination, is perfect for an adult date or a special moment. In this issue, we will introduce four carefully selected night view spots in the Marunouchi area that we highly recommend.
1. KITTE GARDEN
The rooftop garden is located on the 6th floor of KITTE, a commercial facility directly connected to Tokyo Station. During the daytime, it is a popular spot for viewing the city's buildings, but at night it transforms into a perfect spot for getting a close-up view of the illuminated Tokyo Station Marunouchi Building. While the garden offers a sense of openness, it is also an attractive place to enjoy quiet time without worrying about the crowds. The lush green garden wears a fantastic atmosphere under the lights and is perfect for a date.
Another attraction is that the buildings around Tokyo Station are also lit up, offering a panoramic view of the unique urban landscape. It is also a great spot for photographers, especially those with cameras.
Access: 1 minute walk from Marunouchi South Exit of JR Tokyo Station
Recommendation: Rooftop garden is a great place to take pictures with Tokyo Station in the background
2. Marunouchi Illumination
The Marunouchi Illumination, held every winter, features a sophisticated presentation of street trees decorated with champagne gold light. Centered on Marunouchi Naka-dori Avenue, approximately 340 street trees are illuminated in a glittering display of lights. The elegant, but not overly luxurious, illumination creates a relaxed atmosphere suitable for an adult evening.
Along Naka-dori Avenue, luxury brand stores and sophisticated cafes and restaurants line the street, where you can enjoy dining and shopping while enjoying the night view. It is ideal not only for dates, but also for special evenings with friends.
The scenery of illuminated lights enveloping the entire street is a luxurious experience that makes you feel special just by walking around.
Period: Early November to mid-February of the following year
Access: Short walk from Marunouchi South Exit of JR Tokyo Station
Recommended point: Champagne gold lights create a glamorous atmosphere for adults.
3. Marunouchi Station Building
The illuminated Marunouchi Station Building of Tokyo Station is a symbolic spot of Marunouchi at night. The classical red brick architecture comes to life beautifully, and the view is breathtaking. The view from Gyoko-dori Avenue, from which the entire station building can be seen, is especially recommended.
During the day, many people come and go, but at night, the hustle and bustle of the area calms down and a relaxing time passes by. The station building's meticulous design will give you a special feeling of space where the weight of history and modern lighting technology are blended together.
It is also a popular spot for camera enthusiasts, many of whom visit to take pictures of the illuminated station building. There are also benches around the station, so you can relax and enjoy the night view.
Access: 3-minute walk from Marunouchi North Exit of JR Tokyo Station
Recommendation: The night view is overwhelmingly large and beautiful.
4. Mitsubishi No.1 Museum of Art Atrium
The courtyard surrounding the Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum is a quiet space surrounded by brick buildings. At night, the lights of the buildings harmonize with the soft glow of the garden, creating a romantic atmosphere like a scene from a movie.
Benches in the garden are perfect for relaxing and chatting while viewing the lights. There are also cafes and restaurants surrounding the garden, so you can enjoy this atmosphere over dinner or a light drink. Especially during the cold season, a stroll with a hot drink in hand is recommended.
This courtyard, which makes you forget the hustle and bustle of the city, is a hidden gem, perfect for an adult date.
Access: 5-minute walk from Marunouchi South Exit of JR Tokyo Station
Recommended: A serene space created by the brick architecture and lights
Summary
Marunouchi is dotted with sophisticated nightscape spots that combine historic architecture and urban illumination, so after enjoying the splendor of KITTE GARDEN and the Marunouchi Illumination, take a quiet, romantic moment in the illuminated Tokyo Station Marunouchi Station Building or the Brick Square courtyard. Marunouchi Station and the Brick Square courtyard, both lit up with lights.
