Enjoying the Beauty and Fun of the Sea to the Utmost: Shibaura/Konan Area

■Shibaura/Konnan/Daiba area property listings

The Shibaura/Konan area is scored by numerous canals. Today it’s an enormous distribution base, populated by warehouses and cranes that lift cargo from vessels arriving by sea. The sites of modern JR Shinagawa and Tamachi Stations were underwater during the Edo period but were reclaimed from the bay in the Meiji era (1868–1912). These landfill sites became major development zones, and high-rise condominium complexes define their skyline today.

If you live in one of these condos, your balcony affords sweeping views of Tokyo Bay and Rainbow Bridge. Such scintillating views are the draw that makes this area so popular.

About a 10-minute stroll away from Tamachi Station lies Shibaura Island, a major redevelopment site featuring serried ranks of large-scale, high-rise condominium complexes.

Surrounding the high-rises are parks and esplanades, where many residents and others can be seen jogging or walking their dogs. Supermarkets open round the clock are here as well, so there’s always time for shopping even for those who come home late.

And as we never tire of pointing out, the Shibaura/Konan area positively spoils you for transportation, including a monorail, the Yurikamome Line and even a sea bus linking to Odaiba and Sumidagawa.

The closest train station is Shinagawa Station, a major transport nexus served by multiple JR lines as well as Keikyu Line. Though in the main Konan is a buttoned-down office district, a little removed from the station are numerous condominiums and rental apartments. Blessed with abundant park space, this urban living environment earns high marks from residents.
