There are lots of stone art installations along the path—probably spontaneous creations by travelers.

Tsutenkaku Tower
A steel tower which looks like the Eiffel Tower and 75 meters high was built In 1912, on top of a building which was the motif of the Arc de Triomphe, and named “Tsutenkaku” meaning “A building reaching the heaven'' by Nangaku Fujisawa, a Confucian in the early Meiji period. After being broken down due to a fire, citizens lobbied for rebuilding and the current 2nd Tsutenkaku was built in 1956.
The area around here is the famous Shinsekai shopping street, packed with restaurants sporting flashy signs everywhere.

Kokyo Gaien National Garden
This park is located in the area outside the Main Gate to Japan’s Imperial Palace. At the center is the Garden Plaza, where green lawns are dotted with about 2,000 black Kuromatsu pine trees.
The Imperial Palace is usually closed to the public, so you can only take photos near the Nijubashi Bridge. The spacious garden in front is really well maintained.

Nippondaira Hotel
Nippondaira is known as one of Japan's leading tourist destinations. "Nippondaira Hotel" is located in a great location with Mt. Fuji - a world cultural heritage, in front and looking down on Suruga Bay. The former "Nippondaira Kanko Hotel" was established in 1964.
The huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the room offer an absolutely stunning view.
