Enjoying the Beauty and Fun of the Sea to the Fullest: 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.

The views alone make this one of Tokyo’s most desirable districts, as the balconies of the higher suites in the condominium towers here afford sweeping panoramas of Tokyo Bay and Rainbow Bridge.

About a 10-minute walk from Tamachi Station is Shibaura Island. This is a major redevelopment area with large, high-rise condominium complexes.

In the parks and on the pedestrian walks in this area, you’ll see many people jogging and walking their dogs. There are 24-hour supermarkets here as well, so you can always get your shopping done no matter how late you get home.

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.
