New spots are emerging one after another as large-scale redevelopment projects transform the sprawling futuristic landscape of Tokyo’s Bay Area. The area has long been home to a wealth of entertainment, shopping, and leisure activities, but the recent wave of renovations and new projects makes sure that you will discover something new every visit. Here, we introduce the highlights from three key areas: Shibaura, Odaiba, and Toyosu.

Shibaura Area

The large-scale new complex BLUE FRONT SHIBAURA is taking shape near JR Hamamatsucho Station, which offers direct monorail access to Haneda Airport. Here, the 230-meter-tall twin tower project is currently underway. One of the towers, TOWER S, has been completed. In July 2025, the luxury hotel, Fairmont Tokyo, opened on the upper floors, followed by the grand opening of the shopping & dining area on the lower floors in September. The 27 restaurants on these lower floors provide seating for over 1,000 guests. With plenty of terrace seats, visitors can also enjoy waterfront dining surrounded by greenery. A new dock at the base of the building has also been developed, and is garnering attention as a new base for water transport. Attention is also now turning to the second twin tower (TOWER N), scheduled for completion in FY2030.

Odaiba Area

Among the shopping malls and amusement facilities of the Odaiba area, the multi-purpose arena TOYOTA ARENA TOKYO opened on October 3, 2025. The new home arena of the professional basketball club ALVARK Tokyo can accommodate up to 10,000 people and host sporting and music events, as well as MICE events such as exhibitions. The venue also offers hospitality areas such as the JAPAN AIRLINES TERRACE SUITE, where guests can enjoy buffet-style dining while watching the game. The outdoor area features public parks, including one with a basketball court, and services using the next-generation mobility “e-Palette” are also planned.

Another must-see spot is CITY CIRCUIT TOKYO BAY, which opened in December 2023 as the only racing circuit in Tokyo’s 23 wards. State-of-the-art technology meets motorsports at this entertainment hub. Experience the thrill of racing an electric cart at speeds of up to 50 km/h on a 400-meter outdoor course, with wide-open views of the waterfront. The popular “Race Pack,” launched in August 2024, offers a full-scale competition experience with a 10-lap qualifying session and a 20-lap final, complete with an awards ceremony and champagne shower. A bonus is that it's open until 10PM on Fridays through Sundays. Indoors, a full-scale racing simulator and a children’s course provide fun for the whole family.

And behind it all is the 800-meter suspension bridge connecting Shibaura with Odaiba, the shining symbol of Tokyo Bay: Rainbow Bridge. Lit up until midnight, this is one of the city’s most beloved night view spots. Alongside the expressway and the Yurikamome Line, the bridge also features a free promenade for a stroll across the bay.

Toyosu Area

In recent years, Toyosu has seen significant development, including large shopping centers, office towers, and condominiums following the opening of the Toyosu Market. “Toyosu Senkyaku Banrai” opened next to the market in February 2024. Recreating the streets of Edo, the facility offers a wide variety of fresh and seasonal food unique to the market. Visitors can enjoy eating and shopping for traditional crafts and other items at about 70 shops. A hot bath facility is also available there, with an observation foot bath garden offering sweeping views of Toyosu.

Also in Toyosu is the art museum utilizing cutting-edge digital technology, “teamLab Planets TOKYO DMM.com.” From April 2023, over the course of one year, the museum set a Guinness World Record as the “most visited museum (single art group).” It has gained popularity as a unique Tokyo-only experience. In January 2025, the museum expanded its floor space by 50%, and over 20 new works were added. Visitors can immerse themselves in the world of the artworks using their whole body, enjoying experiences such as the creative physical space “Athletic Forest,” where they can develop spatial awareness while being physically active. The outdoor area has also been renovated, with a new “Orchid Glass House” where visitors can enjoy tea and cocktails in a space where the orchids from the museum's artworks are regrown after they have fallen, and a shop where the regrown orchids can be purchased. Visitors can also experience the museum's unique SDGs initiatives.

On September 19, 2025, the former cargo railway bridge, the Old Harumi Railway Bridge, was converted into a pedestrian walkway, allowing visitors to walk across to the Harumi area, a reclaimed-land district next to Toyosu. At night, the bridge is also illuminated, making it a new waterfront walking route worth exploring.
