Shinagawa

Few cities in Tokyo have a history as closely tied to travel on the Edo-period Tōkaidō as Shinagawa. The district was home to Shinagawa-juku, the first post station beyond Edo on the highway linking the shogun’s capital with Kyoto. Its southern Tokyo setting reaches Tokyo Bay, where offices, apartment towers and transport infrastructure have reshaped former waterfront land. Around Shinagawa Station, long a major rail interchange, the pace is distinctly metropolitan; nearby temples and older streets recall the area’s earlier role as a coastal stopping point.
