Where to stay in Kaigan
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Beds sit toward Shimbashi. Kaigan itself reads as an address area rather than a hotel quarter, so a stay here is really a stay on the Shiodome side, within walking distance of the Panasonic Shiodome Museum of Art and the Old Shimbashi Station Railway History Exhibition Hall. The Ad Museum Tokyo sits in the same cluster.
Minato holds the rooms.

About Kaigan
What are the main landmarks in Kaigan?
Small markers, not monuments. The Site of Mizuno Kenmotsu Residence and Monument to the Saigo-Katsu Meeting on the Surrender of Edo Castle record older ground here, while the Ad Museum Tokyo and the Panasonic Shiodome Museum of Art draw the visitors who come by design. The Mizuko-Kuyo Memorial Wall stands among them.
Rail history has its own hall, the Old Shimbashi Station Railway History Exhibition Hall, a short walk from the Kaigan blocks.
What is the history of Kaigan?
Administrative paperwork is most of the record. Kaigan carries three chōme in Minato, Tokyo, and the split between the Shiba district general branch office and the Shibaura-Kōnan district general branch is the fact the entry preserves most clearly. Older ground survives in name only: the Site of Mizuno Kenmotsu Residence marks a residence that has gone, and a stone stands under the name Monument to the Saigo-Katsu Meeting on the Surrender of Edo Castle.
Minato administers all three.
Where is Kaigan?
Kaigan runs in three chōme through Minato, with Kaigan 1-chome under the Shiba branch office and Kaigan 2-chome and 3-chome under Shibaura-Kōnan.
