Understanding Edo x Tokyo A Waterside Post Town Through Art

Welcome to a new “Waterside Post Town.” Historically, there were four post towns in Edo during the Edo Period. The development of a transportation network with Nihonbashi at its center led to four essential post towns that served as travel hubs. Travelers would gather in Shinagawa, Itabashi, Senju, and Shinjuku, names that still resonate today. This hotel is a newly established fictional post town connecting Tokyo and Maihama, the location of Disney Resort.

The hotel quietly stands on an “island” in Tokyo, detached from the hustle and bustle of the city. Inside the building, art inspired by “EDO x TOKYO” captures the history of the shipyards and factories of Shiomi. What stories will the artwork reveal? Discover a part of Tokyo’s culture that evolved from the Edo Period through art, and embark on a journey that begins at Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel.
