Umihotaru is the world’s only highway rest stop that sits on top of the sea. It is part of the Aqua-Line, a highway that runs underneath Tokyo Bay from Kisarazu in Chiba to Kanagawa Prefecture. As you drive through the tunnel, it rises again to the surface at Umihotaru, and you can stop to take in the view.
Quick Facts
– The rest stop has a unique parking structure that houses five floors of restaurants, shops, and observation decks
– Umihotaru generates electricity from the near-constant winds blowing across the Tokyo Bay
The Yurikamome is Tokyo’s first fully automated transit system, controlled entirely by computers with no drivers on board. However, the line is not the first in Japan, as Kobe’s Port Liner opened in 1981, 14 years before the Yurikamome.
