Discover more about Shiodome Sio-Site

Shiodome Sio-Site, located in Minato, Tokyo, stands as a testament to the city's modern urban development. This area, adjacent to Shinbashi and Ginza, has transformed from a marshland in Tokyo Bay during the Edo period to a bustling center of commerce and leisure. During the Edo period, Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu ordered the area to be filled in, and it became the site of residences for feudal lords. In the Meiji period, Japan's first railway was built from Shimbashi to Yokohama in 1870, with Shimbashi Station symbolizing Japan's modernization. The station was later renamed Shiodome Station and primarily handled freight traffic until it closed in 1986. In the early 2000s, the area was redeveloped into Shiodome Sio-Site, a complex of skyscrapers with businesses, hotels, restaurants, and attractions. Key features include the Nittele Tower with a clock designed by Hayao Miyazaki, Caretta Shiodome with shops and restaurants, and the Panasonic Shiodome Museum of Art. The area also has an Italian-themed district and convenient access to the Hamarikyu Gardens. Shiodome Sio-Site is well-connected via underground walkways to Shimbashi Station, offering access to multiple JR lines, subway lines, and the Yurikamome Line.
