Since the Edo period, this area has acted as a gateway—a place where both people and things cross paths. This was where Japan’s railways were born, a rail yard that has continued to develop, hand-in-hand with the nation. Here, we began to develop a station and a city.
The TokyoYard PROJECT, co-created by people who have the will to generate new ideas and support each other, has begun.
Tokyo
This is entryway to a new Tokyo that is open to the world, and a launching pad that connects Tokyo to the world at large.
Yard
We started with a rail yard, but the area is perpetually growing and creation never stops.
This city is an experimental playground where we create ways to lead a fulfilled life a century into the future.
Once the prosperous gateway to Edo (now known as Tokyo), it was here during the Meiji era (1868-1912) that innovators created railways that traveled across the sea. Boasting outstanding access from both inside Japan and abroad, the Takanawa Gateway area overflows with potential—a gateway to the future.
Our concept is a Global Gateway, a base of international exchange that continuously inspires the birth of new culture and business. Collaborating with our partners to create and experiment, we will continue to further evolve this city, and realize the full potential of our Global Gateway.
Create something extraordinary.
Start something that will change the world.
This city is an experimental playground that looks a hundred years ahead to redefine a fulfilled life.
