Shiba Park Crossing

Shiba Park Crossing is located at the southeast end of Shiba Park. There are countless crossings of this type in Tokyo, and this crossing seems to be a nondescript one among them.But actually, this crossing is a linchpin of this area.

There is a small creek called “Furukawa River” in this area, which runs from the west to the east . There are few people who know this river, but the path of this creek is the only wide area for traffic around here. It starts from Roppongi to the east, passes Azabu-Juban and Akabane-bashi and this crossing, and reaches Tokyo Bay at Hamamatsucho. A wide street, a metropolitan expressway, and a subway line run along this creek. Shiba Park Crossing is the point where they meet an important north-to-south street to Uchibori-Dori. Moreover, there is a ramp to a metropolitan expressway here. That is why this crossing is an important one for people in Tokyo.
