Shimbashi Area Guide Area Guide, Minato Ward Neighbourhoods: 新橋



Shimbashi (additionally spelt Shinbashi) is a predominantly business and amusement locale of focal Tokyo, south of Hibiya Park and the Imperial Palace Tokyo. It is the quintessential "salaryman" (office laborer) and "OL" ("office woman") quarter of the city. Thusly, it is as a glaring difference with the as of late revamped glimmering high rise locale of Shiodome on the opposite side of the JR Yamanote rail line.


Shimbashi's bars and restaurants have a most certainly shitamachi ("low town") flavor, yet Shimbashi is midway found: just two stops south of Tokyo Station. This mix of apparent affordibility and locational accommodation, in addition to that reality that no under seven diverse rail line lines join on Shimbashi, implies that the region is a characteristic place of appearance from all headings, other than its numerous neighborhood office laborers.
