Shiodome

Shiodome is a new suburb right in the centre of Tokyo bordering the Ginza district. Once the site of a rail yard this area has undergone a transformation in recent years and is now home to skyscrapers and the offices of some of Japan’s biggest companies.

In the middle of all the skyscrapers is the faithful reconstruction of Japan’s first railway station, Shimbashi Station. Beside this is the National Center where you can check out all the high tech products made by National Panasonic or the Shiodome Museum in the same building, next door is the Caretta Shiodome, a large shopping centre, food court also housing the Dentsu Advertising Museum.
