The Perfect Grand Finale: Tokyo Station’s Stunning Night View After Your Mt. Fuji Tour

2026.9.21

After a full day of exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Mt. Fuji and Hakone, your unforgettable journey concludes with a smooth, comfortable bullet train (Shinkansen) ride back to Tokyo Station. But before heading back to your hotel, there is one last hidden highlight waiting for you just outside the turnstiles!

Arriving in the evening offers the perfect opportunity to step out towards the Marunouchi Central Exit and experience one of Tokyo’s most iconic night views: the illuminated historic Red Brick Station Building.

1. A Dramatic End to an Amazing Day Trip

As you step out of Tokyo Station’s Marunouchi exit as dusk falls, you are immediately greeted by a striking contrast between historic European-inspired architecture and sleek modern skyscrapers. The warm yellow lights illuminating the 100-year-old brick facade create a romantic, sophisticated atmosphere—making it one of the absolute best photo spots in the city.

Taking a quick 5-minute stroll across the Marunouchi Plaza before taking the subway or a taxi is the absolute best way to end your day tour with a memorable photo!

2. Why Returning by Shinkansen is the Ultimate Choice

Many travelers wonder how the return journey works on our day tours. By switching to the Shinkansen at Odawara Station, you avoid Tokyo’s evening highway traffic and arrive right in the heart of the city feeling refreshed and relaxed.

• Speed & Comfort: Whiz back to Tokyo in roughly 30 minutes with guaranteed seating and smooth transit.
• Prime Central Location: Tokyo Station is seamlessly connected to major hotel districts like Ginza, Shinjuku, and Shibuya.
• Nighttime Magic: Arriving after sunset turns a simple transit hub into a world-class sightseeing destination!

3. Quick Tips for Capturing the Best Photo

Want to get the perfect shot of Tokyo Station at night? Here are three quick local tips:

1. Walk to the Center of Marunouchi Plaza: Stand directly in front of the central entrance for a balanced, wide-angle shot of the entire building.
2. Look for Rain Reflection Shots: If it rained earlier in the day, look for water puddles on the stone plaza to capture a stunning reflection of the illuminated station!
3. Visit the Nearby Rooftop Terraces: If you have extra time, head up to the free outdoor terraces at KITTE or the Marunouchi Building for a panoramic view from above.
