Roppongi Hills has a really polished, upscale feel. You can shop, eat, and see exhibitions all in one place, and it definitely feels like one of Tokyo’s more high-end areas.
The view from the Mori Tower observatory at night is amazing. Tokyo Tower is right in front of you, and the whole atmosphere is just perfect.

Kakeinoyu
For natural hot springs, look no further than this day-use hot springs inside "HANA・BIYORI," adjacent to Yomiuriland. Perched at an elevation of 100 meters, this hot destination is where you’ll find panoramic views of the Tokyo skyline, with the added perk of seasonal blooms all around from HANA・BIYORI, ensuring the utmost in luxe, unique experience.
Kakeinoyu feels very new and clean overall. The lounge area is really comfortable and doesn’t have that crowded feeling you get at traditional bathhouses. The whole place has a nice, polished feel.

HANA・BIYORI
HANA・BIYORI is the new-concept flower park and destination next to Yomiuriland amusement park, replete with serene spaces to consider a greener earth and our place on earth hugged by seasonal flowers and plants. Popular highlights to see include the HANA・BIYORI Pavilion, where you can marvel at Japan’s largest collection of over 300 hanging flower chandeliers and colorful floral walls, the vibrant Seasonal Flower Path, and the PIET OUDOLF GARDEN TOKYO, designed by a world-renowned garden designer.
Even though the park isn’t especially large, it’s very clean and well maintained overall. The flowers and plants are cared for beautifully, and you can really feel the attention to detail in so many little corners.

Mankusen Shrine
In the month of Kamiari-zuki (October on the lunar calendar), the gods from all over Japan gather in Izumo. It is said that the last stop for the gods visiting Izumo is the Mankusen Shrine. Officially called "Makuse-No-Yashiro," it is said that the gods hold a meeting here before departing for their respective lands.
The atmosphere is very calm, with a bit of a mysterious feel.
It’s not overly touristy, which actually makes it feel more pure and authentic. -
