The Kaigan area is lined with various office buildings and warehouses that are related to Takeshiba Wharf, Hinode Pier, and Shibaura Wharf. This is also a very popular residential area due to its ease of access to Central Tokyo and its scenic views overlooking Tokyo Bay and Rainbow Bridge. The Takeshiba area, around the east exit of Hamamatsucho Station, has high potential for dramatic improvement and change in the future as it currently has various redevelopment programs underway to establish the area as an international business hub.
Shiodome Area
The Shiodome area has flourished since olden days as a town close to Ginza, Shinbashi, and Tsukiji. The area around the section of town named “Shiodome Shiosite”–one of the area’s redevelopment projects–has become one of the major business hubs of Tokyo. To the east of Shiodome Shiosite is “Hamarikyu Gardens”, which is nationally recognized as a “Special Place of Science Beauty and a Special Historic Site of Japan”. The scenery of neighboring high-rise buildings stretching to the sky behind a beautiful Japanese garden is becoming one of the alluring features of Shiodome.
