Takanawa Gateway and the Community

The integration of Takanawa Gateway Station with the neighborhood is one of its distinctive features. The station is situated in an area that was once divided by railroad tracks between homes and businesses. A new pedestrian plaza was built as part of the station's construction to make it simpler for locals and guests to traverse between the two sides of the neighborhood.
