Sightseeing on a Tour Bus
"Sky Bus Tokyo" means sightseeing from a double-decker bus. Buy a ticket at the ticket counter in the Mitsubishi building and get on the bus! The most popular course is a tour of the Imperial Palace, Ginza, and Marunouchi, taking about 50 minutes. If you want to use the tour bus on a weekend, it is highly recommended to reserve a ticket beforehand.
Admiring Seasonal Flowers
Hibiya Park was made in 1903 with the first urban planning in Japan. It is famous as a park of flowers. There are always seasonal flowers to be admired in the park. Especially recommended is the area around the large fountain, the symbol of the park, and the first and second flower beds, where colorful flowers are sure to brighten your day.

Going to the Imperial Palace to See Soft-shelled Turtles
There are a variety of living creatures in the moat surrounding the Imperial Palace. Migratory birds such as swans are a famous winter sight. If you look into the water carefully, you can see soft-shelled turtles swimming with carps, crucian carps, and catfish. However, feeding the animals is prohibited.
Jogging around the Imperial Palace
Kokyo Gaien National Garden is also famous as a jogging course. One circuit is about 5 kilometers long, and there are no traffic lights. You can enjoy jogging while seeing Sakuradamon, Chidorigafuchi Park, Miyakezaka, and more famous sights of the palace. There are places around the Imperial Palace to change clothes and take a shower, but you need a membership registration. We recommend to use a coin locker at the train station, and not freshen up at a public bath?
