Shinbashi, Shimbashi 新橋 "new bridge" district, Minato
Nishi-Shinbashi, Higashi-Shinbashi



- quote
... located south of Ginza, west of Tsukiji, east of Toranomon and north of Hamamatsucho.
- - - - - History
The area was the site of a bridge built across the 汐溜川 Shiodome River in 1604.
The original name of the bridge was 芝口橋 Shibaguchibashi.
The river was later filled in. Shinbashi was the Tokyo terminus of the first railway in Japan in 1872. It remains a major railway hub and has since developed into a commercial center, most recently with the construction of the Shiodome "Shiosite" high-rise office complex.

- quote -
Shinbashi is the salarymen capital of Tokyo; so that means one thing—it’s full of people and it’s one of the most hectic parts of the city come rush hour. Outside of the commute, it’s a hub for some of the most rustic izakaya in the city and boasts great entertainment. With its super central location and heap of bars that are well dispersed over the area, it’s a popular hangout spot. Shinbashi also happens to be home of the oldest ‘pink cinemas’ which started the beginning of the very successful porn industry in Japan.
On a very different note, Shinbashi is also known for being Tokyo’s first railway terminal.
