Looking for
accommodation near Akasaka? Getting to AkasakaAkasaka-Mitsuke station on the Metro Ginza and Marunouchi subway lines is at the edge of Akasaka. The station is connected by a handy, if rather long, tunnel to Nagatacho station on the Namboku, Hanzomon and Yurakucho lines. Tameike-Sanno (Namboku/Ginza) is also in the area and a good access point for Itsunoki-dori.  Akasaka Palace Akasaka SightsProbably the only actual sight in Akasaka is the Hie Shrine (日枝神社),
located atop a little hill at the edge of the area. Reached by a steep
flight of stairs under a veritable tunnel of orange torii, the shrine
grounds are an oasis of tranquillity in the middle of
Tokyo and, in good weather, a popular place
for a lunchtime picnic. Akasaka PalaceAkasaka Palace or State Guest-House (Geihinkan; 迎賓館) is a facility in which the government of Japan accommodates visiting state dignitaries. The guest house took on its present function in 1974, having previously been a detached palace. Eat & Drink in AkasakaAt night corporate Akasaka loosens its tie and comes to life: the
blocks bounded by Sotobori-dori (外堀通り) and Itsunoki-dori (一ッ木通り) are
packed full of expensive restaurants and nightclubs, second only to
the Ginza in swankiness. Both Japanese and international cuisine are
very well represented, with places like Tenichi for tempura and
Shabuzen for shabu-shabu, and others representing Indonesian, French,
Mexican, Russian, Indian, Italian cuisines... you name it, you'll
probably find it. (Article based on Wikitravel article by Wikitravel users Jpatokal. Article used under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 1.0.) |
