The cable car makes it really easy to go up and down the mountain. You can visit the shrine, eat, drink, and just have a great day.

Shinagawa Aquarium
Opened in 1991 inside Shinagawa Kumin Park, which sits right next to the canal, this aquarium is themed around “Connecting with the Sea and Rivers.” It features around 4,000 sea creatures from approx 450 species. Through shows and seasonal events, you can get up close with the fish, observe them, and learn more about their world.
There are actually two aquariums in Shinagawa—one at the Prince Hotel and this one, Shinagawa Aquarium, which mainly features marine life from Tokyo Bay. The dolphins, seals, and penguins are especially popular here. Even though it's not as big or fancy as some other aquariums, I still found it really charming and highly recommend it.

Mt. Rokko (Rokkosan)
Mt. Rokko (Rokkosan), the prominent peak of the Rokko Mountains, is 931 meters above sea level. With easy access by cable car to the top of the mountain, the mountain is full of various facilities that offer physical activities, romantic nightscapes, and more.
I really love natural scenery. Being able to take transportation straight to the top saves time and makes me want to get even closer to nature.

Suizenji Jojuen Garden
It is a stroll garden with spring water that Tadatoshi, the first lord of the Hosokawa clan, created after building a teahouse here where subsoil water from the Aso Mountains gushed forth. Tsunatoshi, the third lord of the Hosokawa clan, later created a large-scale garden that was named "Jojuen" after a poem by Tao Yuanming.
The garden is designed to recreate the beautiful scenery of the 53 stations of the Tokaido, all condensed into one place. It's really worth taking your time to enjoy.
