Recommended for travelers who leave for daylight tours, the whole area can ride no need to worry about the ticket in addition to the basic fare, but also includes the whole area of daylight buses 👍🏻

Must-Visit Attractions in Shinbashi

1. SL Plaza

Known as the Shinbashi Station West Entrance Square, one of Shinbashi's highlights is the iconic display of a steam locomotive at the SL Plaza, located outside the Hibiya Exit of JR Shimbashi Station. This vintage C11 292 model steam train remains a resilient attraction and a popular meeting spot, especially crowded after work hours. During the festive season, this landmark dazzles visitors with a charming light display.

2. Karasumori Shrine

Since 1000 years to the Heian Period, this small shrine is rich in history and traditional charm. In this shrine, you can see all the classic Japanese temple elements and it even hosts a local festival in May.

3. Sake Plaza

Try out different types of Japanese sake at this place. While closed on weekends and holidays, it's a perfect stop for your weekday plans. The complex, spanning four floors, is managed by the Central Brewers' Union, where you can find different sake-related items like cups, books, glasses, and more. For ¥315/515, you can enjoy 3 or 5 different sake selections, with the options changing daily for a delightful surprise each visit. A must-visit for all sake enthusiasts!

4. Old Shinbashi Station

The Old Shinbashi Station faithfully replicates the original building on-site. Inside the Railway History Exhibition Hall, you can explore artifacts related to Shiodome, Japan's railway birthplace. Enjoy free exhibitions showcasing railway tools and teapots used on trains. Don't miss the glass-walled section displaying the original stone foundation.

Hama Rikyu Gardens

Hama Rikyu is a beautiful garden in central Tokyo by Tokyo Bay. It has seawater ponds that change with the tides and a teahouse on an island for visitors to enjoy. Drop by this traditional garden for a peaceful getaway from the skyscrapers in Shiodome district.
