A drive surrounded by the sky and sea at Umihotaru PA, a scenic rest spot floating on Tokyo Bay

A drive trip surrounded by the sky and sea at Umihotaru PA, a rest spot with a spectacular view floating on Tokyo Bay The Umihotaru Parking Area, located on the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line that connects Kisarazu City, Chiba Prefecture and Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, is a rare rest facility floating on the sea. The author visited at dusk. From the observation deck surrounded by the sea on all sides, the sunset over Tokyo Bay and the skyscrapers of Tokyo in the distance shone fantastically, like a scene from a movie. The facility is full of restaurants, cafes, and souvenir shops, and the famous "asari buns" and "Umihotaru soft serve" are must-try delicacies. It's free to stop by, and it's a luxurious spot where you can enjoy a spectacular view and gourmet food during your drive. Whether you're traveling alone or as a couple, you can spend a memorable time here. This trip was an "unusual break" surrounded by the sky and sea.
