Kawasaki Marien Observation Deck 川崎マリエン 展望室

About

Kawasaki Marien is the port authority's public building on the reclaimed island of Higashi-Ogishima, and its tower holds a free observation room at about 51 m. On the island's edge, it looks across the Keihin industrial zone, a forest of flare stacks, pipes, tanks and conveyors that light up after dark in the "kojo yakei" (factory night view) style that has made Kawasaki famous among night photographers. To the north, planes stream into Haneda; to the east, ships pass the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line, and on clear days you see the Boso Peninsula. Open until 21:00, it is the easiest way to see Kawasaki's night views without a tour.

Highlights

• Free 360-degree observation room at about 51 m
• Factory night views over the Keihin industrial zone
• Haneda arrivals and departures in view
• Container ships and the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line
• Next to Higashi-Ogishima Higashi Park beach

Tips

• Last admission 20:30
• Take the Kawa-05 bus from JR Kawasaki East exit (about 30 min); return buses thin out at night
• Go at dusk to see both daylight and lights coming on
• Bring a tripod-free setup; tripods may be restricted indoors
