Why is Shinagawa a great place to live in Tokyo?
\nShinagawa is full of hidden gems, and luckily for you, we have them uncovered here!<\/p>\n

Meguro liver flows between Kita-Shinagawa and Minami-Shinagawa in Shinagawa-ku, and currently pours into Tokyo Bay on the south side of Tennozu Isle in Higashi-Shinagawa.<\/p>\n

Shinagawa is an often overlooked area of Tokyo, after years of being primarily for business ventures. Stretching from central downtown to Tokyo Bay, this area is somewhere for families and business people to work, play, and live. Where better to be than at the heart of the action?<\/p>\n

There are many corporations with headquarters in Shinagawa: Sega, Lawson, and Bandai Namco all claim Shinagawa as their postcode. Shinagawa area apartments tend to be newer and highly functional, with many short-term apartments. Shinagawa is really the perfect location for the person on the go who prefers convenience and proximity overall.<\/p>\n

In the last two decades, Shinagawa has revitalized itself as a place to go on weekends as well, starting with the beautiful Shinagawa Aquarium. This giant aquarium has walk-through tubes, educational programs, and many exhibits. Even more impressive is the dolphin show, which combines Laser LEDs, projection mapping, and music with the talented dolphins swimming in the pool below.<\/p>\n

Shinagawa is also home to several beautiful green spaces, including Rinshinomori Park and Gotenyama Garden. Oi Racetrack also has live horse races, if you\u2019re looking for an unusual activity to do on a weekend.<\/p>\n

Just on the other side of the ward is Tennozu Isle, where you can watch the sunset over Tokyo Bay.<\/p>\n

Shinagawa\u2019s status as a business hub means there are lots of inexpensive restaurants with quality lunch deals.<\/p>\n

There are also, oddly, several outposts of Western chains– T.G.I Friday\u2019s and Outback both have their flagships in Shinagawa. Being the buffer between high-end Minato-ku and Tokyo Bay means there\u2019s lots of fresh seafood, and the cheaper rents mean many restaurants can afford to go out on a limb for unique dishes.<\/p>\n

Shinagawa is also home to the city\u2019s biggest flea market. While sometimes full of trinkets and junk, there are often incredible finds hidden amongst the racks. Check the stall for secondhand kimonos and Japanese china, as often these items are often so common as to be sold for a low price just to get them off the shelves.<\/p>\n

If you want to experience nightlife like the average Japanese salaryman, Shinagawa is one of the last outposts of the classics. Hostess bars and snack clubs let out snatches of faint karaoke through the windows, and it\u2019s not uncommon to see a group of young professionals having a quick drink on the street.<\/p>\n

Shinagawa station is one of the largest stations in Tokyo and can be a bit confusing and hectic during rush hour. It is primarily a JR hub, so those with the JR East Rail Pass will find it easy to travel around.<\/p>\n

As one of the major Shinkansen stations in Tokyo, you can reach Nagoya, Kansai Area, and Kyushu by taking the “Nozomi”, “Hikari”, and “Kodama” trains.<\/p>\n
