The Shinagawa/Kamata area offers tourist attractions such as Tennozu Isle, Hara Museum of Contemporary Art, and Sakura-zaka, tourist events such as Torinoichi, Hatsuuma Festival, and Setsubun Festival, and local delicacies such as sukiyaki, motsunabe, and soba noodles.
Shinagawa Station, a convenient transportation hub, is often used as a base for sightseeing in Tokyo, and the many hotels near the station attract tourists from both Japan and abroad.
The Shinagawa, Ota, and Kamata areas have different atmospheres: Ota Ward has Denenchofu, a high-class residential area, and Kamata became famous for the Kamata March, but while many traditional shopping streets and individual stores remain, commercial facilities are opening one after another, so you can enjoy a different kind of Tokyo metropolis with a mix of old and new. The Aqua Park Shinagawa is a new shopping area in the Tokyo metropolitan area.
Aqua Park Shinagawa is an indoor entertainment facility located inside the Shinagawa Prince Hotel, featuring an aquarium with dolphin and sea lion shows, an underwater tunnel, a carousel featuring sea creatures, and a coaster themed on "Galaxy Express 999. The aquarium is well equipped and can be enjoyed by both children and adults.
There is also a stylish restaurant surrounded by an aquarium, which is open until 10 p.m. on weekdays and Saturdays, and until 9 p.m. on Sundays and holidays, making it a popular spot for couples.
While many local families and couples use the Aqua Park Shinagawa, an increasing number of tourists are choosing to stay at the Shinagawa Prince Hotel as their lodging destination now that Aqua Park Shinagawa has been established.
There are other attractions in the Shinagawa Station area, such as Atre Shinagawa, a New York-style information center, and a short distance away are the Shinagawa Aquarium and the Fune-no-Kagakukan.
As you can see, there are many sightseeing spots in the Shinagawa, Ota, and Kamata areas that cannot be fully explored in a single day, but why not take your time and explore Shinagawa and the surrounding area during your visit to Tokyo?
