Shimbashi(新橋)

A vibrant city of relaxation for office workers.

Shimbashi is said to be a town of office workers. This is because office workers who work for nearby companies go out for drinks at the end of work. This time, I will introduce such Shimbashi.

Point1: Cheap and delicious

Izakaya in Shimbashi is cheap and good. In addition, it is safer than the entertainment district in Shibuya Shinjuku, so you can eat and drink with confidence. It may be difficult to understand because the stores are crowded in the multi-tenant building, but the smaller and older the store, the better. Please try it. You can find it here. As for the time, I am aiming for the 17:00 level immediately after the store opens. After 18:00, the number of office workers will increase rapidly. .. .. (Unless you want to have a conversation)

Point2: Good transportation access

Shimbashi station has excellent access. There are many routes that can be used, such as JR East (Yamanote, Keihin Tohoku, Tokaido, etc.) Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, Toei Asakusa Line, and Yurikamome Line, and it is a hub spot that can move in all directions from north, south, east, and west. In addition, the surrounding towns are located in Ginza, Toranomon, and Daimon/Hamamatsuchō, which are good places to visit for sightseeing and business.

Point3: May be interviewed on TV

Next to Shimbashi, the head office of Nippon Television is located in Shiodome. For that reason, I often get interviewed when walking in front of the (?) Shinbashi station. It is often done in front of SL Square, so please go there when you are free. Maybe you can make your Japanese TV debut

Point4: Do you work for Moretsu? Interpret the mood? A city perfect for old office workers

In Japan a while ago, overtime work until midnight was commonplace, and it was normal for one company to work until retirement age, and there was an idea of ​​devoting one’s life to the company. At that time, there were even words such as “Can you work 24 hours a day?” In an energy drink commercial. In such an environment, office workers were looking for a break. When I was able to drink quickly by myself, when I talked with my colleagues about the complaints of my boss, there were similar people around the company, and it was Shimbashi who answered such needs. Through such history, Shimbashi established the brand of the city of office workers. It doesn’t have to be a very fashionable place. An oasis of mind for tired corporate warriors.
