Shirokane, Residential district in Minato, Tokyo, Japan
Shirokane comprises six distinct chome areas with abundant green spaces, high-end residential buildings, and exclusive shopping establishments along Platinum Street.
During the Edo period, the area earned its name after a wealthy official nicknamed Shirokane Choja, meaning 'man who possesses white gold' in reference to silver.
The district maintains numerous green spaces connected to academic institutions, including the Kitasato Institute and the Institute for Nature Study within Tokyo.
The neighborhood connects to central Tokyo through two main stations, Shirokane-Takanawa and Shirokanedai, with direct access to Haneda Airport in 20 minutes by car.
The district features notable slopes such as Shokko-zaka, Sanko-zaka, and Meiji-zaka, which shape the topographical character of this wealthy neighborhood.
