From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Tennōzu Isle (天王洲アイル, Tennōzu-Airu) refers to an area surrounding Shinagawa, Tokyo, Japan. It is a waterfront district known for its various leisure attractions and piers.
History[edit]
Tennōzu Isle was built on reclaimed land. It is named after Gozu Tennō, whose mask was brought up from the sea near this area. Tennōzu Isle was originally created as a fort to protect Shinagawa from naval invasions, but was redeveloped into a district with many warehouses. Some of these warehouses remain in operation today.[1]
