Tourist attraction • 5-chōme-4-5 Akasaka, Minato City, Tokyo 107-0052, Japan
This huge shining sign in the prime location of Akasaka, Tokyo, is a representative retro-modern landscape of Japan. Built in the 1960s, it used to shine brightly with neon tubes, but was transformed into an energy-saving LED lighting in the 2003 renovation. Its linear and simple design radiates contemporary beauty.
This sign, together with the beautiful scenery at dusk, has become a popular photography spot. The reflection of the sign makes the blue sky and clouds look even more beautiful, and the fantastical scenery is worth a visit. The small park under the sign has benches where you can leisurely enjoy the view.
Akasaka is a high-end residential area with many high-fashion shops. After seeing the sign, you can enjoy shopping at nearby luxury department stores and specialty shops. Moreover, the alleyways are filled with izakayas and Japanese restaurants where you can experience the nostalgic charm of old Tokyo.
The Akasaka Shine Sign is located in the center of Tokyo, making it easily accessible from anywhere. The nearest station is Akasaka-Mitsuke Station, which is about a 5-minute walk. We recommend staying at a luxury hotel in the same Akasaka area.
The Akasaka Shine Sign, one of Tokyo's iconic landscapes, is a charming tourist spot that combines retro and modern styles. Be sure to visit and immerse yourself in its scenic beauty.
