You'll find Otemachi Financial City near the Nihonbashi River, north of Otemachi.
Financial City refers to a group of high-rise buildings consisting of the South Tower, North Tower, and GranCube.
One of the features is that the GranCube has the largest bicycle parking area in the Otemachi area.
It can accommodate 758 bicycles, which is quite impressive. It costs 100 yen for up to 3 hours, with a maximum of 300 yen for 24 hours.
This seems like a great option for those who want to commute to Otemachi by road bike.
Now, to get to Otemachi Financial City, you can access it directly from Exit A1 of the Marunouchi Line.
And, I found a place where you can sit and rest near the Eco Museum along the Nihonbashi River behind the North Tower!
On the left is the Shuto Expressway's Inner Circular Route C1 and the Nihonbashi River, and on the right is the Eco Museum and the North Tower.
Also nearby are the Kamakurahashi Bridge and the Kandabashi Bridge, which are landmarks.
The Eco Museum functions as an information center for eco-friendly information, introducing advanced environmental technologies.
You can learn about environmental information through real objects while taking a stroll!
Well, there were many benches set up along the Nihonbashi River.
The benches are placed between the trees, creating a relaxing space.
The pavement of the greenway incorporates patterns, and the geometric design is a feature.
It's a two-seater bench with a right-angled backrest and no legs on the bottom, so it looks slim from the side.
I thought it was an area with beautiful linear shapes, along with the straight-running expressway and river, and the patterns on the pavement♪
From the benches, you can sit and rest while enjoying the view of the Nihonbashi River.
Do pleasure boats and yakatabune (traditional Japanese houseboats) pass through here!?
This is a recommended rest area when you want to take a break from the hustle and bustle of Otemachi.
It's wonderful that the benches face the river.
Personally, I love benches where you can rest while looking at the river! I might even make a special feature page for them (laughs)
By the way, please note that eating and drinking is prohibited at the entrance of the Eco Museum.
(Strictly speaking, it seems to apply to the benches on the Otemachi Kawabata Green Road, so it's a bit of a gray area...)
I was so engrossed in the benches that I didn't take any pictures of the Eco Museum, but what is that red-purple glowing cyber object!?
This is called the "Urban Eco Farm" and serves as a demonstration test site for an urban plant factory.
It seems that LED, nano-bubbles, trigeneration (equipment that simultaneously utilizes heat, electricity, and exhaust), and fuel cells are incorporated.
I recommend visiting to learn more♪
Also, the "Otemachi Financial City Plaza" nearby is also a great place to relax, so be sure to check it out!
So, why not use it as a resting place around Otemachi Station?
