A new canal-side district built on the former tobacco factory site in Shinagawa Seaside, with weekend plaza events for kids
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Rinkai Line's Shinagawa Seaside Station is underground. The station sits in Higashi-Shinagawa 4-chome, home to Shinagawa Seaside Forest's office towers, high-rise residential towers, and AEON. The buildings surround a semi-underground plaza called Oval Garden, ringed by restaurants, shops, and clinics, with events for kids often held there on weekends.
This neighborhood was originally the Shinagawa factory of Japan Tobacco (JT), and when it was redeveloped, the plan required building rental housing for families. Past Geneva Heiwa-dori is 3-chome, where residential towers sit alongside schools and office buildings, with canals on the north and east sides.
In 2020, 7 out of every 100 people in this neighborhood were children aged 0 to 4, compared to just 4 for Shinagawa City as a whole. Households of three or more people made up just over 30%, those living alone were under 40%, and more than half of homes were owner-occupied.
Higashi-Shinagawa Kaijo Park, along the canal to the north, is split in two by the canal, connected by the Isle Bridge pedestrian bridge. The half inside this neighborhood has a fountain plaza, and the roof of the pumping station is open from 9am to 9pm, with views of Rainbow Bridge and Odaiba. The whale slide is on the other half, across the bridge in 2-chome, outside this neighborhood.
From our street photos, this neighborhood's environment ranks 14th out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo. Its greenery ranks 8th, the best of this neighborhood's seven sub-scores. The Rinkai Line connects with the Saikyo Line at Osaki, giving access to Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Ikebukuro.
For everyday shopping, this neighborhood ranks 168th out of 395 neighborhoods, and healthcare ranks 149th. In 2020, this neighborhood had about 306 people per hectare, and more than 60% of households were in buildings of 11 stories or higher. There's no transfer station between the Rinkai Line and the Keikyu Line, so you have to ride them separately.
This land had been part of the Keihin Industrial Zone since the early Showa era, and later became JT's Shinagawa factory. Around 1991, JT began considering what to do with the site once the factory relocated.
Phase one was completed in September 2002, including rental housing for families built by the Urban Development Corporation of the time (today's UR). AEON opened in October, and the station opened in December; phase two was handled by Kajima Corporation and completed in August 2005. Geneva Heiwa-dori, between 3-chome and 4-chome, was named at the proposal of local residents who had ties with Geneva, since Shinagawa City and Geneva are sister cities.

Hospitals with inpatient beds (2020 data), public elementary and junior high schools whose catchment covers this area, high schools and universities within 1 km, stations, parks of 1 ha or more, and large shopping malls and department stores. Many Tokyo junior high students attend private schools, so junior high catchments are only a guide.

TidyMap rates the street environment and everyday convenience. It does not assess the home itself, safety, noise or actual living experience. Street environment scores use AI assessments of imagery; convenience scores use public facility data.
