A Retreat in the Heart of Town
Entertainment
One of Tokyo’s most desirable residential areas, Takanawa is also home to many embassies, hotels and major corporate offices. Nightlife options abound for those looking to entertain clients or unwind after a long day at the office.
Families will also have plenty from which to choose. Get exciting angles on creatures from the deep at the Shinagawa Aquarium, which features a 22-meter undersea tunnel, a variety of popular shows and 2,500 fish representing 100 species. Or drop by the Aqua Stadium, the world’s only aquarium displaying dwarf sawfish. Take the kids to see thrilling dolphin tricks, ride a roller coaster that takes you through manga and anime scenes or catch some tunes at a concert hall.
If you’re itching for a good movie, the 10-screen multiplex Shinagawa Prince Cinema is the place to go. Its four premium halls have spacious seating.
