In Tokyo's suburbs, you get mountain views and temples, plus several trails to try. It's a great place for hiking.

Tottori Sand Dunes
Located on the Sea of Japan side of Tottori City in Tottori Prefecture, the Tottori Sand Dunes stretch 16 km from east to west and 2.4 km from north to south, making them one of the largest dune systems in Japan. These dunes, designated as a special protected area and a Natural Monument of Japan, are a major tourist attraction representing Tottori Prefecture.
It's a beautiful place, but the wind can get pretty strong. Make sure to bring some lightweight shoes to change into.

Nijubashi SQUARE
Nijubashi Square is a shopping mall in Marunouchi, Tokyo's heart of the business district, that spans three floors, from the first basement to the second floor of the Marunouchi Nijubashi Building. The mall houses seven stores and sixteen restaurants, all of which are high-class and refined, as befits a sophisticated adult town.
There are lots of upscale shops here, and the view of the Imperial Palace from this spot is really nice! 👍

Tojinbo Cliffs
Tojinbo is a cliff formed by wave erosion. Since long ago, it has been recognized and honored as a scenic spot. These towering cliffs extend for about 1 kilometer along the coast, showcasing a dramatic display of columnar jointing-a geological feature so rare that only three such places are known in the world, including Tojinbo. It has been designated as a national Place of Scenic Beauty and Natural Monument.
Is this really the legendary suicide spot? I saw tourists cliff diving here for fun—guess they're not worried about any bad luck!
