Parks, Waterfront and Nature Around Takeshiba

Tokyo Bay is the defining natural element of Takeshiba. WATERS takeshiba includes a waterfront Plaza with lawn areas, the Takeshiba District Pier and the Takeshiba Tidal Flat, which is used for environmental and community activities. These spaces allow people to experience water and tidal conditions at close range despite being in central Tokyo. Waterfront decks and open spaces also provide views in the direction of Hamarikyu Gardens. There is not a large concentration of suburban-style playground or sports parks immediately beside Takeshiba Station, although the range of green spaces increases when the walking area is extended toward Hamamatsucho and Shibakoen. The waterfront brings openness but also exposure to wind, summer sun and coastal hazards such as storm surge and tsunami. For people who value the combination of a central-city workplace and everyday waterside walking, Takeshiba has a clearly differentiated environment.
