Shinagawa is one of the 23 special wards of Tokyo, Japan. The ward is located in the south-central part of the metropolis, and is the second most populous ward in Tokyo after Chiyoda. Its name comes from the ancient Shinagawa Province.
Shinagawa has been a major transportation hub since the Edo period. The area is now home to the Shinkansen bullet train station and Tokyo's main international airport, Narita. Major companies have their headquarters in Shinagawa, including Japan Airlines, NTT Docomo, and Toshiba.
Shinagawa is a great place to visit for its mix of historical and modern attractions. The ward is home to the ancient temples of Sengaku-ji and Zojo-ji, as well as the skyscrapers of the Minato Mirai district. Visitors can also enjoy a stroll along the banks of the Sumida River, or a ride on the Yurikamome automated
