This video offers a vibrant evening walking tour through the Marunouchi Street Park 2025 Spring event, located along Marunouchi Naka-dori in central Tokyo. Captured around 6:30 PM on April 16, 2025, viewers are treated to the atmospheric transition from day to night—known as magic hour—as the city’s signature flowers, pop-up shops, and art installations come alive. Busy Marunouchi is one of Tokyo’s premier business and shopping districts, nestled between Tokyo Station and the Imperial Palace.
The walk begins along Gyoko-dori, with scenic views of the Tokyo Station building, before continuing into the heart of the Marunouchi Nakadori. Seasonal floral displays line the street, bringing a pop of color to the urban landscape. Marvel at the temporary boutiques, including a notable pop-up from Van Cleef & Arpels on the first floor of the Marunouchi Building (Maru Biru) at the Marucube event space. Here, international fashion and jewelry brands showcase their latest collections, often accompanied by striking artistic collaborations—in this video, the featured artist is Alexandre Benjamin Navet, whose playful designs enliven the shopping experience.
Visitors can enjoy well-placed benches, photogenic spots, and family-oriented activities such as workshops and storytelling sessions. The route touches upon other Marunouchi highlights, such as the Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance Building and the Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum Garden, a tranquil oasis amid the city, and public art by Katsura Funakoshi. The video ends back at Tokyo Station, making it a great reference for anyone planning an urban stroll, art and design tour, or evening date in Tokyo’s vibrant business district.
Marunouchi is not only famous for its historical buildings and modern architecture but also for hosting regular open-air events, turning its business-focused avenues into places of leisure and creativity throughout the year. With easy access from Tokyo Station and proximity to the Imperial Palace, it remains one of the best places to enjoy both the urban lifestyle and Japan’s seasonal changes.
