Tokyo Night Walk: Marunouchi & Otemachi Skylines from Rooftop Decks and Streets

By akkz01

Take a nighttime walking tour through Marunouchi, one of Tokyo’s most dynamic urban business districts, featuring modern skyscrapers, illuminated streets, and panoramic terraces. This video captures the scenery from June 17, 2025, starting around 7 pm, and delivers an immersive ‘walker’s perspective’ with natural city sounds and high-definition visuals.

The journey begins underground at Gyoko-dori and Marunouchi Underground Passages, connecting Tokyo Station to various landmark buildings. The walk takes viewers up to the 7th floor terrace of the Shin-Marunouchi Building (新丸の内ビル), known for its views over the city. A highlight includes the Marunouchi HOUSE terrace, a popular spot that features sweeping night vistas but was closed to the public on this filming day. The scene switches to Marunouchi Nakadori, a boulevard lined with stylish shops and twinkling trees, providing a relaxed urban atmosphere ideal for after-dark strolls.

Proceed through Otemachi, Tokyo’s financial core, to visit sites such as Otemachi First Square, Otemachi One Tower, and Otemachi One Garden, which is decorated with atmospheric bamboo akari (竹あかり) lanterns. Notable stops include the Otemachi Building and Otemachi Forest (大手町の森), an urban oasis that offers a contrast to the steel and glass surroundings. The tour loops back past the Marunouchi Building (丸ビル) and the MaruCube atrium, ending with a visit to the 5th floor observation deck.

These central Tokyo locations, easily accessible from Tokyo and Otemachi stations, are a must-see for anyone wanting to experience the city’s after-dark ambience. Whether you’re planning an evening date, seeking free panoramic views, or simply interested in Tokyo’s urban design, Marunouchi and Otemachi deliver a variety of modern and green spaces that illuminate the capital’s nightscape.
