An interesting historical fact about the area is that it was once part of the historic Tokaido road, the most important of the Five Routes of the Edo period, connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) with Kyoto. The closest major landmark is the iconic Shinagawa Station, a major transportation and commercial hub, and the area is also within easy reach of the scenic Shinagawa Shrine.
