Takanawa Gateway’s latest landmark is still working on its own story

The museum's programming may lack focus, but its open spaces already offer Tokyoites a reason to stop in.

The Japan Times
Welcome to Takanawa Gateway City, Tokyo's newest megadevelopment that wants commuting to feel less like surviving a crowd and more like entering a luxury wellness retreat. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/06/02/japan/urban-design-takanawa-gateway/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #greatershinagawaarea #takanawagatewaycity #tokyo #shinagawa #redevelopments #realestate #jreast

Wie #Tokyo wächst, das lässt sich am Bahnhof #Shinagawa besonders gut beobachten. Dort wird im laufenden Betrieb ein komplexes Bahnhofssystem modernisiert - und die Bahnunternehmen gestalten auch die Umgebung neu. #Japan

Die Schranken zeigen an, in welche Richtung ein Zug passiert. Das letzte Bild zeigt übrigens, wo die Keikyū später langfahren soll. Oben nach Shinagawa, aber Shinagawa wird eine Ebene nach unten versetzt. Gibt sogar Baustellenschilder (poste ich, sobald ich alles verstanden habe). #spnv #öpnv #japan #shinagawa #keikyu

Shinagawa, Tokyo, January 2026

Digital trichrome triple-exposure, using a Steinheil 55mm f5.6 in a Prontor Press leaf shutter adapted to a Sony A7. Three photos with red, green and blue filters respectively, are exposed with the leaf shutter with the camera in bulb mode. The camera is controlled by a microcontroller operating the camera shutter via the remote interface. The microcontroller counts the exposures of the leaf shutter using its PC flash sync connection and ends the exposure after the leaf shutter fired a set number of times.
