Shinagawa: A major redevelopment hub consistently ranked among the most desirable places to live.

Located in the eastern part of Tokyo, Shinagawa Station serves the JR Yamanote, Keihin-Tohoku, Tokaido, Yokosuka, Sobu (Rapid), and Ueno-Tokyo lines, as well as the Keikyu Main Line, for which it acts as a terminal. The Tokaido Shinkansen also stops here, further enhancing its convenience as a major transit hub.

You can reach major areas like Tokyo, Shimbashi, Yurakucho, and Shibuya in about 10 minutes, and access to Haneda and Narita International Airports is stress-free.

The Yamanote loop line curves north after passing Osaki, reaching Shinagawa; consequently, the Osaki and Gotanda areas are only about 1km away in a straight line. Takanawadai Station on the Toei Asakusa Line is also within walking distance.

With a new Yamanote Line station planned between Shinagawa and Tamachi, this area is attracting even more attention as a rising star.

Located in the southeast of Tokyo, Shinagawa prospered as the first post station on the Tokaido road.

While the modern Tokaido is now Route 15, the original path—stretching east from Yatsuyama Bridge and crossing the Keikyu tracks—is now a charming lane lined with shops.

Share houses in the Shinagawa area range from larger properties to small-to-medium ones renovated from private homes or small apartment buildings. Because Shinagawa has long been both a post town and a port, you can still see retro architecture. Some share houses are renovated from historic folk houses, offering a rich, atmospheric living space while ensuring modern comfort.

If you include the area near Kita-Shinagawa Station—just one stop away on the Keikyu Line—you will find an even wider selection of share houses.

In the Muromachi period, the shallow Shinagawa Port was a vital hub where cargo was transferred from large ships to smaller vessels. During the Edo period, it flourished as the first post station on the Tokaido.

Shinagawa Station opened in 1872. It sits at the foot of the Takanawa-Mita plateau. At the time, the tracks ran along the coastline, meaning the land where the current high-rise buildings stand east of the station was once the sea.

Because there was ample land for development, Shinagawa Station continued to expand. The former warehouse district to the south has been redeveloped into large-scale complexes, while the east side is now home to corporate skyscrapers, commercial facilities, and various parks along the bay.

As a high-profile area, the cost of living might be slightly higher, but choosing a share house makes it much more affordable.

Why not watch the next chapter of this area's evolution from your favorite share house?

The Shinagawa area has long thrived as both a port and a post town.

Situated on the edge of the Musashino Plateau, the west side of the station features high ground like Takanawa and Shirokane, while the east side was once a shallow coastline. Today, the area around the station is undergoing continuous large-scale redevelopment, with the high-rise buildings on the east side being particularly striking.

However, just a short distance to the west, you will find historic, upscale residential neighborhoods like Takanawa, where many share houses are housed in beautifully renovated traditional homes.

If you take the Keikyu Line to Kita-Shinagawa Station, you can walk along the old Tokaido road, now a local shopping street. This area retains many buildings from the early to mid-Showa period, offering a nostalgic, "shitamachi" (old downtown) atmosphere. It is perfect for those who want to imagine the bustling Tokaido of the past or enjoy a retro vibe. The view of the redeveloped Shinagawa area from Kita-Shinagawa creates a unique contrast between futuristic progress and historical legacy, filled with the vibrant energy of a place where people have lived for generations. With a large residential population, daily life is incredibly convenient.

Come enjoy life in this ever-changing area at a share house!
