KITTE Marunouchi — Attraction in Tokyo

It’s an indoor shopping mall with a big empty space in the middle letting the light shine through, the middle area seems to change from time to time. When we were there, it was a bunch of local shops selling their goods. This goes well with the vibe of the mall, since most of the stores here are local ones, the only big names I know of were Muji & Onitsuka Tiger. There weren’t a lot of benches/chairs to sit and chill in, most of them were near the escalators. And if you get hungry there’s a floor with a bunch of restaurants. Some things that make it stand out are the museum on the second floor, the postmaster’s room on the fourth floor and the roof garden/observation deck on the sixth floor, all of which are free. The highlight of this place is surely the rooftop where you get to see...

The Kitte building itself is architecturally speaking quite interesting with it's triangular shape, glass roof and tiled exterior in "Tokyo light beige".

In addition, the former postmaster's office on the 4th floor, which is open to the public, is quite a unique touch. One cannot only sense the atmosphere of past times - and even write some letters & postcards at reserved tables - but the view to the historic Tokyo Station building is simply stunning. Great picture taking spot and really gives you a sense of places & periods "mashing" together.

So, definitely recommended to visit the 4th floor for sightseeing, but the rest of the shops are not worth visiting IMHO: mostly heavily overpriced tourist stuff and chain restaurants. There are many, many better shopping...

This is a specially designed building, they are celebrating their 10th Anniversary this year (2023) . The building was attached to the Tokyo Central Post Office old building. From the 1st floor to the 8th floor are shops and restaurants . The 9th floor is the roof garden, the best place to overlooking and take photo of the Tokyo Station . A nice place to take a break in the heart of Tokyo city. I am lucky to watch a musical event during my visit. Two places in this building you should visit, on 2nd & 3rd floor, the Intermediatheque ( the Museum of University of Tokyo 's research ) , also the mini museum of the Tokyo Central...
