Wakasu Park, a campground in the Koto ward of Tokyo is a well known spot for beautiful views of Mount Fuji in winter and autumn or on a very clear day, usually after heavy rain. Although it is accessible by bus from Shin Kiba station, most visitors usually visit by car, carrying along their camping and fishing gear. Book a spot on the campground, spend the night in your tent and enjoy the beautiful scenery at Tokyo's waterfront, including views of Tokyo Tower, Tokyo Skytree and the Tokyo Gate Bridge.
