Something for Everyone - A Family Friendly Daimaruyu.
When you think of the Marunouchi area, you might envision a bustling city with busy business professionals striding around. However, if you take a stroll down Naka-dori Avenue on a weekend, you'll often see groups of moms pushing strollers or families enjoying lunch together. With spacious sidewalks, pedestrian-friendly zones, and underground shopping areas, Marunouchi is a family-friendly town where automobile traffic is minimal. There are plenty of eateries where families with children can feel at ease, along with places for kids to have fun and facilities helpful to parents.

Train Enthusiast's Paradise
Tokyo Station's Dynamic Railway Spectacle
From the observatories of high-rise buildings facing Tokyo Station, such as Maru-biru, Shin Maru-biru, and TOKIA, you can witness the bustling activity of numerous trains and Shinkansen crisscrossing the tracks. Tokyo Station handles around 4,100 train arrivals and departures in a single day, making it the busiest station in Japan. The view of colorful trains moving along the neatly lined tracks is quite fascinating even for adults. For railway enthusiasts and train-loving kids, it's a sight that would surely make their day.
