The Aomono-yokocho shopping street on the southern stretch of the old Tokaido post town, up to the homes along James-zaka and Sendai-zaka
Keikyu Aomono-yokocho Station is an elevated station, and just a few steps from the exit is a shopping street that developed along the old Tokaido road—this is the liveliest and busiest shopping street around here. At the gate of Honsen-ji temple in 3-chome sits a bronze Jizo statue, the first of the Six Jizo of Edo. The area around the station is flat, but if you head west, the road climbs up James-zaka and Sendai-zaka.
Keikyu limited express and express trains both stop here, and there's direct service to the Toei Asakusa Line. For public transport it ranks 49th out of 155 neighbourhoods in Tokyo. JR Oimachi Station to the west and the Rinkai Line Shinagawa Seaside Station to the east are both within walking distance. There are plenty of supermarkets and restaurants around the station.
The area around the station sits at an elevation of 2 to 5 metres above sea level; you have to climb James-zaka or Sendai-zaka to get to areas over 10 metres. In our street-view photo ratings, greenery ranks 131st out of 155 neighbourhoods, the weakest aspect here. Cleanliness ranks 107th, also in the lower tier.
The name comes from the aomono market (vegetable market) that existed here in the Edo period, and right up until the early Showa period the street had rows of large produce shops. Today's Minami-Shinagawa roughly corresponds to the southern half of Shinagawa-shuku in the Edo period. Honsen-ji is said to have been founded by Kukai (Kobo Daishi) in the Daido era (806–810), and the bronze Jizo statue in the temple was made in 1708. The temple also has a bronze bell from 1657 that ended up overseas at the end of the Edo period and was returned by the city of Geneva in 1930; Shinagawa Ward and Geneva later became friendship cities in 1991. James-zaka is named after the British man J.M. James, who paid out of his own pocket to make the originally steep slope more gradual. When the station opened in 1904, the "yokocho" in its name was written with a different character from today's.
