Highlights

Takanawa Link Line

Along a 300-meter stretch rich with greenery, the original railway line of Takanawa is honored with rails embedded where trains once ran during the station’s early days. Stonework from the historic Takanawa Embankment has been thoughtfully repurposed into a street space, so the Link Line not only preserves the area's transportation legacy but also offers a relaxing, nature-filled space for visitors to explore.

THE LINKPILLAR 2, meanwhile, is a large-scale, single, complex near the Sengakuji Station. It also functions as a space for commercial facilities, corporate offices, clinics, and fitness centers to support the business workers in the city. THE LINKPILLAR 2 is scheduled to open in spring 2026.
