Takanawa in central Tokyo is predominantly known as a residential area, but it made headlines in 2020 with the opening of Takanawa Gateway Station along the Yamanote loop line. Join us as we learn about its history as a gateway to the city during the Edo period and how it came to house foreign diplomatic missions in the second half of the 19th century. We also visit a storied hotel serving an international clientele. Along the way we discover traces of the past and a grand vision for the future.
