I took a walk from Hamamatsucho, and it was quite fun because there were Italian street, the observatory floor of the building in front of NTV, and NTV. I could also see the Yurikamome and Shinkansen trains from the deck of Shiodome Station.

In my opinion, this is the place with the most beautiful night view in Tokyo. At night, there are almost no people, and you can experience a slightly otherworldly feeling.

20200210 When transferring from Shiodome Station on the Oedo Line to Shiodome Station on the Yurikamome Line, the guidance signs become difficult to understand along the way, so you may get a little lost.

This is the starting station for the Yurikamome line, where many businessmen can go to Odaiba. There are Hamarikyu Gardens, Tsukiji Market and Shimbashi Station within walking distance ^ ^

The lighting event from Christmas to New Year is so beautiful that it’s unreal This year’s theme Beauty and the Beast

Love it

Transfer information from Toei Oedo Line to Yurikamome is shocking at first sight Even though many stations have become easier to understand due to the Olympics, nothing has changed here.

Great company!

Like its neighbors Ginza and Tsukiji, Shiodome (汐留) area is built on what was originally a seaside marshland. Tokugawa Ieyasu (徳川家康) issued an order in 1603 to fill in the area, and as a result throughout the Edo period Shiodome and nearby Shimbashi, Ginza, Tsukiji (新橋・銀座・築地) became a samurai residences areas. The name Shiodome (汐留), which translates to "keeping out the tide", probably referred to the shogun's desire to isolate Edo Castle (now the Imperial Palace) from Tokyo Bay. After the Meiji Restoration, the new Imperial government expropriated the daimyo-owned lands in this areas, and when first railroad in Japan was established between Yokohama and Tokyo in 1872 (Meiji 5), Shinbashi station (新橋停車場 Shinbashi Teishajō) as the starting point was constructed in Shiodome and it became a gorgeous entrance gate of Tokyo. However, the Tokyo station was completed in 1914 (Taisho 3), and the starting point of Tokaido Main Line was changed from Shinbashi station to Tokyo station, so Shinbashi station was changed to a freight exclusive station. The passenger terminal at Shiodome was closed down, and Karasumori Station on the Yamanote Line was renamed Shimbashi Station. Shiodome Freight Terminal remained the primary freight yard for Tokyo through World War II, despite extensive damage from the Great Kanto earthquake which destroyed the original passenger terminal. The 1936 opening of the Tokyo Metropolitan Central Wholesale Market in nearby Tsukiji increased the terminal's importance in the Tokyo distribution network. Shiodome Freight Station was abolished in 1986. After that, "Huge vacant lot" consisting of 31 hectares of the Japan National Railway Co., Ltd. was left untouched, but finally in 1995, the city infrastructure development in Tokyo Urban redevelopment began with private projects. In 2004 (Heisei 16), 13 high-rise office buildings were lined up, with several high class hotels, numerous restaurants, shops Shiodome area was reborn as new urban complex connected by underground passages and pedestrian decks.

Convenient. Depopulated area? However, it is surprisingly convenient. It's a city I want to see more excitement.
