TAKANAWA GATEWAY CITY, which opened on March 27, 2025, will celebrate its first Christmas this winter! The cast members of the TAKANAWA GATEWAY Travel Service Center will show you a model course for spending a special Christmas in this city!

1) The photogenic Takanawa Gateway Station

Takanawa Gateway Station becomes even more attractive as the sun sets. The station itself is wrapped in warm lights! One of the charms of TAKANAWA GATEWAY CITY is that even places that might be considered ordinary scenery, such as the station and the railroad tracks, are photogenic. It is also a perfect place to enjoy the night view of Tokyo!

(2) Rainbow Bridge can also be seen! Recommended photo spots

Turn right after exiting the north ticket gate, and you will see an area overlooking the railway tracks near the Gateway Studio and the stairs leading down to the first floor. This area changes its appearance depending on the time of day, sunset, or night. You can see the Rainbow Bridge, Shinkansen bullet trains, local trains, sleeper expresses if your timing is good, and even airplanes if you look up at the sky! From powerful to romantic photos, you can capture the fascinating scenery of Tokyo with your camera and in your mind.
The view from the 28th floor of THE LINKPILLAR 1 NORTH is also spectacular! Newman Takanawa LUFTBAUM is a great place to enjoy the view of Tokyo while being healed and surrounded by plants!
