The Tokyo Waterfront City is a one of the world's largest urban development
projects, which is currently underway in the Tokyo Bay area. Along with
enhancing the vitality and charms of Tokyo, it is a place where numerous
international events are held, welcoming visitors from around the globe.
Business, commercial, residential functions and others are planned to be
incorporated in this spacious development, taking full advantage of its
beautiful location on the waterfront. This area is steadily growing into
a vibrant city: it now has 48,000 people working here, 10,000 residents,
and an annual 48.5 million visitors.
The Tokyo Waterfront City not only presents a gracious and relaxing urban
vista created from its surrounding water and greenery, but also boasts
urban infrastructure capable of withstanding earthquakes as large as the
disastrous Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923. This has become possible by
housing water supply and sewer pipes, power lines, and other urban lifelines
in common ducts constructed in the space under roads and parks. In recent
years, significant advancements in the development of railways and regional
trunk roads have led to a dramatic improvement in accessing central Tokyo
from this area.
In addition, situated at the node of land, water, and air transport through its proximity to the Port of Tokyo and Haneda Airport, the Waterfront City supports the urban activities of the Greater Tokyo Area as the hub of this region's network of cities. High expectations are held that it will play an important role in triggering the revitalization of Tokyo and Japan.
The Tokyo Waterfront City is now entering its final stage of development.
Gathering together people, goods, and information as an area integrating
work, residence, education, and leisure, helps generate urban vitality,
and the city continues to communicate this allure to the world. New efforts,
such as developing the nearby Umi-no-Mori(Sea Forest), are also being advanced
to turn Tokyo into a city full of greenery based on Tokyo's urban strategy,
Tokyo's Big Change: The 10-Year Plan.
We sincerely hope that your company will be able to develop new possibilities
at the Tokyo Waterfront City, which we anticipate will become a leading
sightseeing spot attracting visitors from around the world and a business
center that supports the future of Tokyo and Japan.
