Takanawa Gateway City is a new urban development in Tokyo that opened on March 27, 2025. Situated adjacent to the Takanawa Gateway Station and also accessible through major transit hubs like Shinagawa and Sengakuji, it serves as an international exchange hub with corporate establishments, hotels, cultural facilities, residential buildings, and a convention center.
The area is approximately 845,000 m2, making it one of Japan’s largest urban developments. But the project is still expanding as it aims to connect people, technology, and nature—locally and globally—while partnering with diverse stakeholders to develop innovative solutions addressing global challenges. Fittingly, the building's name, "Linkpillar," combines the word "Link," representing connection, collaboration, and continuous growth, with "Pillar," symbolizing stability, strength, and a commitment to improving lives over the next century.
Building on this foundation of progress, Takanawa Gateway City’s vision has three key themes: Zero Carbon Society, emphasizing renewable energy generation and biogas from food waste, promoting fuel cell transport; Mobility, fostering human-robot collaboration to create convenient, inclusive lifestyles through real-world demonstrations; and Healthcare, partnering with academia and startups to enhance wellbeing through innovative health solutions—optimal sleep, diet, and fitness—first piloted locally using Suica data, then expanded nationwide via the Smart Health Station® network.
The development also proudly incorporates the historical significance of the Takanawa Embankment, a railway bed constructed in 1872, which allowed Japan's first railway to run over the sea along the Takanawa coast, connecting Shimbashi and Yokohama. Through the careful preservation and public display of the recently unearthed Takanawa Embankment—including the 7th Bridge, surrounding park area, and the relocated signal base—visitors can vividly experience the area's rich historical legacy. These innovative exhibitions incorporating advanced technology further bring Takanawa’s pioneering role in Japan’s transportation history to life.
Ultimately, Takanawa Gateway City carries forward Takanawa's historical legacy as Edo's original gateway during the Meiji period (1868–1912) and commemorates its spirit of innovation, marking the site where Japan's first railway crossed the sea about 150 years ago. It’s an exchange hub that encompasses the past, the present, and the future.

Sengakuji, located in Minato City, is a major temple of the Soto Zen sect of Buddhism and is primarily known as the resting place of the 47 ronin. The temple was founded in 1612 near Edo Castle, but was relocated to its present-day location and rebuilt in 1641 after it was destroyed by a fire. It was reconstructed once more in 1953 after it was destroyed during World War II. Although the temple is relatively small, its connection to the 47 ronin makes it a popular place to visit. The tale of the 47 ronin is a celebrated story in Japan and epitomizes the values of sacrifice and loyalty. The story began in 1701, when lord Asano Naganori attacked lord Kira Kozukenosuke at Edo Castle after being consistently mistreated by him. Asano injured Kita but failed to kill him and was sentenced to commit seppuku (ritual suicide) as it was forbidden to draw one’s sword in the castle. Asano’s estate was confiscated and his family was dethroned. During this time, it was customary to punish both fighting parties. However, Kira was not punished. Asano’s samurai vassals, outraged by the wrongful treatment of their master, took revenge on Kira a little over a year later. Led by Oishi Kuranosuke, the 47 ronin beheaded Kira in his residence and brought his head to Sengakuji. Although they were sentenced to the same fate as their master, their story became immortalized in Japanese history. Asano, as well as the 47 ronin, are buried at Sengakuji. Many people visit the temple to pay their respects to the fallen samurai, and every year, on December 14, the temple holds the Ako Gishiai Festival to commemorate the day the samurai enacted their revenge for Asano. The festival features traditional food stalls as well as a procession of men dressed as the 47 ronin. Other notable temple structures are a small museum that displays artifacts and videos about the 47 ronin (admission is 500 yen for adults) and a bronze statue of Oishi Kuranosuke, which is located near the temple’s entrance.
