Shinbashi (新橋) is a district of Minato, Tokyo, Japan, located south of Ginza, west of Tsukiji, east of Toranomon and north of Hamamatsucho. Shinbashi was the Tokyo terminus of the first railway in Japan in 1872. It remains a major railway hub and has since developed as a commercial center, most recently with the construction of the Shiodome "Shiosite" high-rise office complex.

Located centrally and a 10-minute walk from the Ginza shopping district, directly south of Tokyo station. Shimbashi is the original terminus of Japan's first stretch of railway, the Tōkaidō Main Line, and is one of Japan's oldest stations (the oldest station being Shinagawa, a few kilometres down the line). The original Shimbashi Station, opened on October 10, 1872, was built some way to the east of the modern-day structure and was known as Shimbashi Teishajō (新橋停車場).

For Manfred, who told me that this view is the one which contains everything what he associates with Tokyo.

And one can understand this in some sense, I think. There're so much things to be seen typical for this city in it. First of all maybe the train tracks crossing here on three different levels, the yellow Sobu line, the red Chuo line and below of them the Marunouchi Line crossing the Kandagawa. And the buildings, the contrast of the small and old ones along the river and the high and colorful buildings in the background, marking the border between Ochanomizu and Akihabara.
