Shiodome (汐留) is a place in Minato, Tokyo. It is adjacent to Shinbashi to the north (although some times Shiodome is regarded as part of Shinbashi), the Hamarikyu Gardens to the west, Takeshiba to the south and Higashishinbashi to the west.
Shiodome was formerly the site of Japan's railway terminal, it was redeveloped in 1995. The original Shimbashi Station that was demolished in 1914 was rebuilt in the original design and is today a museum. The rest of the Shiodome area was developed into modern skyscrapers.
