Safety and Disaster Preparedness Around Takanawa Gateway

The Takanawa Gateway Station Police Box, operated by the Metropolitan Police Department's Takanawa Police Station, is located at 2-21-1 Takanawa inside the ground level of TAKANAWA GATEWAY CITY near the transport plaza. Its jurisdiction includes much of Takanawa 2-chome and Takanawa Gateway Station. Route 15, the Dai-Ichi Keihin road west of the station, carries substantial traffic, so normal care is needed at crossings. For disaster preparedness, Minato City maintains separate tsunami, liquefaction, ground-shaking and flood hazard maps, with the hazard-map portal most recently updated on September 9, 2026. Conditions differ substantially between elevated parts of Takanawa and lower areas closer to the former shoreline and reclaimed land, so it would be misleading to characterize the entire district as uniformly safe or risky. Anyone selecting a residence or office should check the exact address against each map. Minato City also publishes district disaster maps in Japanese, English and Chinese and provides disaster information through its official app.
