To get to Tokyo Garden Terrace, you can go via the Akasaka Subway Passage from Akasaka-mitsuke Station, towards the B, C, and D exits. Head towards Exit D, and you'll see it.
Alternatively, you can access it directly from Exit 9a of Nagatacho Station.
Tokyo Garden Terrace is an area designed as a complex urban center, with offices, commercial facilities, and a garden.
And the 1st floor of Tokyo Garden Terrace is a floor also known as "Benkei-go Terrace", a name that gives off a slightly high-class vibe.
There is a seating area in front of the "Information Counter" next to the escalators on the Benkei-go Terrace.

There are two sets of two-seater iron tables and two flat wooden benches.
As for the environment of the rest area, it's near escalators and a waiting lobby for the parking lot, so there is a lot of foot traffic.
However, when I checked on a holiday, there were seats available.
While discovering this rest area, I also enjoyed a bitter soft serve ice cream at Bel Amer, a chocolate specialty store, next to the table seats!

It was delicious with rich chocolate! Highly recommended when you come to Kioicho!
Sometimes I do food reports too, haha.
This table seating area is useful to remember for a quick break or to eat your lunch around Akasaka-mitsuke and Nagatacho.
And there are also flat wooden benches at this rest area.

※The image of "Kioi Plaza's seating area" is used, but it's the same specification.
These marble chocolate-like benches are smooth and have a good texture, haha.
The seat surface is wide, making it suitable for a quick rest.
Furthermore, you can use free Wi-Fi "TGT_Kioicho_Wi-Fi" at this table seating area!
⇒Please refer to the official website for more details.
There's one thing that I'm a little concerned about with this rest area...
You make eye contact with the person at the information counter!
The counter faces the rest area, so if you're concerned about being watched, you might want to avoid it.
Perhaps because of this, when I checked later, there were people sitting in the marble chocolate-shaped seating area with their backs to the counter, but there were no people at the table seats!
Please take this into consideration.
Also, as a trivia, the origin of "Kioicho" is a combination of one character each from the Kii Tokugawa family, the Oiwari Tokugawa family, and the Ii family of Hikone.
When I learned this, I thought, "Oh! I see! It's a town where the mansions of feudal lords used to be~"
So, why not use this as a rest area near Akasaka-mitsuke Station and Nagatacho Station?
