The scenery along the way is absolutely beautiful—no wonder this is called one of the most scenic railway routes in Japan. There’s even a cart selling snacks and Akita specialties on board, so you never get bored. The rice paddy art is especially cool, and the view from inside the train is the best angle to see it.

Tama Central Park
Tama Central Park is a vast urban park covering Approx. 110,000 square meters, conveniently located about a 5-minute walk from Tama-Center Station.
The café is lovely. The playground equipment is also very clean, and kids will get so caught up playing that they’ll lose track of time.

Sanrio Puroland
Guests can meet Sanrio characters like Hello Kitty and My Melody at this indoor theme park. Sanrio characters put on authentic performances like shows and parades that mix stories, dances, and songs together.
I bought a ton of Sanrio exclusives, and when I walked out there were those gacha machines next door that totally make your eyes spin...
Remember to bring enough coins!〜！ -

TAKANAWA GATEWAY CITY
Developed by JR East, Takanawa Gateway City is a bold urban redevelopment project transforming a former train yard into a 9.5-hectare next-generation smart city. Centered around the newly completed Takanawa Gateway Station, the complex is slated for four high-rise towers and a low-rise cultural facility, bringing together commercial spaces, hotels, offices, residences, a multipurpose cultural center, and an international conference hall.
It was actually more fun to explore than I expected! The self-driving cars weren't that impressive (but not bad either). The whole place really gives off a futuristic city vibe! 😲
