Shibaura, Administrative district in Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan.
Shibaura is a district in Minato-ku situated between the Yamanote railway line and Tokyo Bay. The area features artificial islands and canal networks that shape its layout and character.
The district developed in the early 20th century as an industrial port and later expanded through land reclamation projects. These projects created new islands and gradually transformed it from a purely industrial area into a mixed-use neighborhood.
The district retains its connection to Tokyo's port heritage through industrial structures and waterways that shape daily life and community spaces. You can experience this maritime past while walking along the canals and around the waterfront areas.
The area is easily accessible via Tamachi Station on the Yamanote Line and Shibaura-futo Station on the Yurikamome Line. Multiple bus routes also connect the district to other parts of Tokyo.
Several major corporations maintain their headquarters here, including Toshiba and Bandai Namco, giving the area significant economic importance. This is visible in the urban landscape through modern office buildings that exist alongside older industrial structures.
