Shinagawa
Last week, I introduced Shibuya that is on the Yamanote Line. If you take the Yamanote Line counterclockwise from Shibuya, you will go through Ebisu, Meguro, Gotanda, Osaki, and the next station is Shinagawa, which we will talk about this time. In the olden days, when people traveled on foot from Tokyo (Nihonbashi) to Kyoto (the 53 stages of the Tokaido Highway). Shinagawa-juku was developed as the first inn (place to stay) after leaving Nihonbashi.
Even today, Shinagawa is the first station after leaving Tokyo Station on the Shinkansen bullet train that travels westward. Shinagawa is a station for the Tokaido Shinkansen (bound for Shin-Osaka), JR Tokaido Main Line (bound for Atami), JR Yamanote Line (circulation line), JR Keihin Tohoku Line (bound for Yokohama), JR Yokosuka Line (bound for Kurihama), and Keikyu Main Line (bound for Sengakuji-Uraga).
Inside Shinagawa Station on the Yamanote Line, there is a large hotel district with hotels such as Shinagawa Prince Hotel and Grand Prince Hotel Takanawa. I have used the Grand Prince Hotel Takanawa on occasion, and it is a great location, very close to the city center.
Inside Shinagawa Station on the Yamanote Line, there is a skyscraper district with many companies, including the headquarters of SONY and KOKUYO. In the mornings and evenings, the area is crowded with commuters, but there are also many places to have a good lunch at a reasonable price. Shinagawa Station is a very convenient location more for business purposes than for sightseeing.
