TAKANAWA GATEWAY CITY, the core of urban development, consists of five buildings, plazas, and event spaces, all arranged spaciously. As part of measures to mitigate the heat island effect and address global warming, the city has been designed with “wind corridors” to guide the cool sea breeze from Tokyo Bay into the urban area, promoting ventilation throughout the district. In addition, the city is working toward long-term sustainability over the next 100 years through initiatives such as achieving zero carbon through hydrogen utilization and establishing measures to support the BCP (Business Continuity Plan) of residents and the local community.

Right outside the ticket gates of TAKANAWA GATEWAY Station, you will find “iino,” an autonomous mobility vehicle moving slowly through the plaza. You can enjoy it for free, there is no need to drive yourself, and you can get on and of f as you wish! While riding, you can enjoy the cityscape and surrounding scenery. We invite you to give it a try.

Using AR (Augmented Reality) technology, you can visually experience on your smartphone the scenery from about 150 years ago, when Japan’s first railway opened and steam locomotives ran along the "Takanawa Embankment." Operation is simple—just scan the QR code on the temporary enclosure with your camera, and you can fully enjoy the immersive experience of the sea, the embankment, and the locomotive approaching. The enclosure also displays illustrations depicting the era from 150 years ago to the present railway system and even future mobility, allowing you to learn about changes over time.

Located on the 28th and 29th floors of THE LINKPILLAR 1 NORTH building, LUFTBAUM (a dining and lounge area) is an urban retreat about 150 meters above ground, with more than 500 real plants (trees and flowers) planted throughout the space. It also features a public sky garden with views of the Rainbow Bridge and Mt. Fuji. The entire floor is designed as a multisensory experience reminiscent of a private villa, combining greenery, scenery, acoustics, and dining-a space where you can enjoy greenery and views through all five senses.

A new museum complex, MoN Takanawa: The Museum of Narratives, is scheduled to open on Saturday, March 28, 2026. Equipped with exhibition areas, hands-on experience zones, and an event hall, it is a cross-disciplinary museum covering traditional culture, comics, music, digital content, and more. The building itself, designed as a symbol of the city’s culture and activities, is highly distinctive.

There is still much more to introduce—our editorial team found so many highlights that they said, “It’s hard to choose what to feature.” This issue introduces only a portion of them. There are many more attractive areas we could not cover this time, so if you haven’t visited yet, please do stop by. You will surely find yourself saying, "This is an amazing location—fun, relaxing, and wonderfully peaceful!"
