The Area

Once a thriving fishing village, Shinagawa's main trade gave way to services catering to travelers. Inns and teahouses flourished as samurai and monks alike flocked to the area.

Today, centuries later, the inns and teahouses have given way to modern hotels and transportation systems - and visitors are still coming to stay at the first-class hotels, conduct business, and wander through the temples and museums that surround the bustling transportation hub of Shinagawa Station.
