アート観覧<天王洲セントラルタワー1F アートホール>

Art exhibits (Tennoz Central Tower, 1st Floor, Art Hall)

Since the birth of a town of Tennoz Isle, a concept for creating an “art isle with a heart” has kept breathing. Arts are incorporated in many offices throughout the Tennoz Central Tower Building and an art hall has been created in the atrium entrance hall of the building.   Since 1999, we have provided the above art hall space to young artists and students mainly of Tokyo University of the Arts as a place for presenting their works as well as a place for young artists of craft arts to gather. The exhibition held in March 2019 was its memorable 200th exhibition in its 20-year history.

The works have been mainly focused on craftworks but the genre ranges widely from craftwork to sculpture, Western painting, Japanese painting, calligraphy, flower arrangement, etc. The exhibitions are not only by young artists but quite a few are by famous artists.

There is no admission, so you can see the latest and greatest works by talented artists.

第4 台場跡地<シーフォートスクエア>

Sea Fort Square: remains of fourth fortress

In 1853, Commodore Perry arrived in Japan and ordered the shogunate government to open its doors to the rest of the world. Feeling a sense of urgency, the shogunate had drawn up plans to install eleven fortresses in the seas around Shinagawa. The fourth fortress can be found here. After seventy percent of the fortress was complete, the project was scrapped, and was then adopted as a shipbuilding yard. By the time Commodore Perry arrived, fortresses were complete in several locations, with batteries ready to fire. This caused Perry to draw back as far as Yokohama before going ashore. Remnants of the fortresses of the day can be seen throughout Sea Fort Square, and the dike along today’s boardwalk is a reconstruction of the original stone walls.

センターコート<シーフォートスクエア>

As you proceed from Center Court and along the canals, you will see the Lady Crystal moored at the pier. If you are lucky, you may even see the rare “Doctor Yellow,” a special train used for maintenance purposes. This is a must-visit spot if you like vehicles.

倉庫街<ボンドストリート>

Warehouse district (BOND Street)

In 1950s, Tennoz Isle came to be used as a warehousing district. It was an empty space still devoid of office buildings and residences. Following Japan’s economic boom times, development in the area grew widespread. Warehouse TERRADA had installed warehouses throughout Tennoz Isle since its founding and had long been implicated in the growth of the city. After Japan’s economic bubble declined, TERRADA’s first warehouse was repurposed as T.Y.HARBOR Brewery in a bid to regrow the area. Today, the shops along the waterfront have become recreational destinations for visitors, and the exteriors of the warehouses are considered photogenic. Click here for details onBOND Street
