The star of the complex is the shopping mall with some 200 stores, featuring terraced floors overlooking a large green space. Wander through the clothing, jewelry, food, and household goods stores, or visit a drugstore for beauty products. The wide variety of shops ensures that you will encounter unique souvenirs and gifts, including products only found in Japan. If you're hungry for Japanese food, there are restaurants specializing in sushi, udon noodles, okonomiyaki, and more. Others offer non-Japanese options such as pizza, hamburgers, and pastries.
The mall overlooks an outdoor plaza that hosts festivals and food trucks. The mall's terraces include outdoor spaces as well, with lawns and water features. After ordering food from the food court, you can bring your meal to a table outside and enjoy the view.
Travelers hoping for a relaxing stay can book a room at the Villa Fontaine Grand Tokyo Ariake, the on-site hotel. Located 20 minutes away from Haneda Airport, it is a convenient place to stay while in Tokyo. Foreign visitors can benefit from currency exchange machines that are available 24 hours a day. There are 11 types of guest rooms as well as a gym and restaurant. Don't miss the all-day buffet with Japanese, Chinese, and Western food.
Because of its location, the hotel is a useful home base for sightseeing in the Tokyo Bay area. It also enjoys easy access to the city center. You can take trains or buses to visit landmarks such as Tokyo Tower and Tsukiji outer market.
Ariake Garden is also home to a spa facility, which can be used at a discount if you're staying at the hotel. The spa includes saunas and beauty salons, as well as a natural hot spring with water pumped from deep underground. Since the hotel and spa are both in Ariake Garden, you can relax and unwind after you've finished your shopping.
