A Private Sauna And Water Terrace, Eight Minutes From Shinagawa — Takanawa, Tokyo

Property Highlights:

A reinforced-concrete residence of 254.85 sqm over a basement and three storeys, a short walk from Shinagawa Station. Built in March 2013 and renovated in July 2026, the house stands on 110.19 sqm of freehold land in Takanawa, one of Minato-ku’s most settled residential districts, with an elevator serving every level.

Everything is arranged around privacy. A two-car indoor garage, sized for large vehicles, opens directly into the entrance hall. Beyond it, a newly built water terrace of approximately 20 sqm, with a wall-fountain feature, brings light, greenery, and the sound of water into the ground floor. The living, dining, and kitchen space of approximately 50 sqm occupies the first floor, and the upper level holds two bedrooms, a walk-in closet, a bathroom, and a newly installed private sauna. The basement provides two service rooms of approximately 30 sqm and 13 sqm, and a rooftop completes the house.

The July 2026 renovation covered the house from entrance to roof: a new entrance door, new toilets, a refitted bathroom with a JAXSON tub, a new water heater, new fittings throughout, refinished walls and flooring in large-format tile and timber, new air conditioning, and a landscaped water garden. The living room features a bespoke door specification from KAMIYA, created exclusively for the seller.

254.85 sqm across basement and three floors. 110.19 sqm of freehold land. 2LDK plus two service rooms. Private sauna, water terrace, two-car indoor garage, and elevator. Renovated July 2026. ¥768,000,000.

The Neighbourhood:

Takanawa is among central Tokyo’s most established addresses, a residential district within easy reach of Shinagawa Station. Shinagawa is one of the city’s principal hubs, serving the Shinkansen and the Yamanote Line, with direct rail connections to Haneda Airport.

The district is also changing. TAKANAWA GATEWAY CITY, JR East’s large mixed-use development beside Takanawa Gateway Station, opened in March 2025, one stop from Shinagawa. It brings new offices, dining, culture, and a luxury hotel to the area, and adds a new layer of international life to a neighbourhood that has long been quiet and residential.

Shinagawa Station, on the JR Yamanote Line, is approximately eight minutes on foot.
