Shinbashi
After passing Takanawa Gateway, the newest station on the JR Yamanote Line (which I introduced last week), Tokyo Station is only five stops away. However, before we go to Tokyo Station, I would like to introduce Shinbashi. Shinbashi Station is the next station after Takanawa Gateway, Tamachi, and Hamamatsucho. Shinbashi is famous for being the first station in Japan where the railroad line between Shiodome Station (now Shinbashi Station) and Yokohama Station (now Sakuragi-cho Station) was opened on October 14th, 1872. It is also referred to in the railroad shoka (Japanese golf song) as the starting point of the Tokaido Line.
In addition to the JR Yamanote Line, today's Shimbashi Station offers connections to the Tokaido Line, Yokosuka Line, Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, Toei Asakusa Line, and Yurikamome. There are also many stores around the station, attracting a lot of people from morning till night for dining and shopping.
Now one of the reasons that I first presented Shinbashi is to introduce Odaiba, which can be reached by Yurikamome. Odaiba is now a tourist attraction for many people. It is home to Diver City, a shopping center with 150 stores, Aqua City Odaiba, the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation, VenusFort, a shopping mall with a large Ferris wheel (Palette Town), MEGA WEB, a car theme park, Fuji Television's headquarters building, and Tokyo Big Sight - Japan's largest convention center.
You will never be bored in Odaiba from morning to evening.
