The office space in the gleaming Shinagawa East One Tower is in the centre of one of Tokyo’s 23 wards. Shinagawa is home to many embassies and corporate headquarters, including national corporations and multinationals. Mitsubishi, Bayer, Canon, Sony, Siemens and Philips are just some of the well-known corporates based in this bustling, continually developing business hub. The area has more room to grow commercially since it became highly accessible with the opening of the high-speed Shinkansen (Super express) train line and a newly added stop for the airport. The various hi-tech and research-driven companies that Japan is famous for have offices in the area. Education is also well served, with two special colleges in Shinagawa specialising in technology and industrial technology. Shinagawa City boasts several parks, gardens, a museum and aquarium.
