Redeveloped towers on both banks of the Meguro River, and the quieter homes west of the station toward Osaki-Hirokoji
Osaki Station is a ground-level station with its station building bridging the tracks, with the north ticket gate near the Gotanda side and the south ticket gate near the Shinagawa side. The east exit leads to Osaki New City and Gate City Osaki, while the west exit has office towers like ThinkPark Tower. Only Osaki 1-chome is inside the Yamanote Line loop; Osaki 2-5 chome are all outside it. Heading towards Kita-Shinagawa 5-chome, you'll see Park City Osaki, which opened in 2015 and consists of seven buildings including super-high-rise residential towers.
The Yamanote Line, Saikyo Line, Shonan-Shinjuku Line, and Rinkai Line all stop here, plus through-service trains heading towards Sotetsu. For daily shopping, it ranks 30th out of 155 neighbourhoods in Tokyo. Life and Seijo Ishii are both in buildings accessible from the east exit, just a one to three minute walk. Within a five minute walk from the west exit are two small parks; further out, the small Osaki 5-chome Yuen park sits right next to the tracks, and in spring when the cherry blossoms bloom, the trains pass right by the flowers. In our street-view photo ratings, the neighbourhood environment ranks 28th, and greenery ranks 24th.
This area has no shopping streets or lively commercial zones. For clinics and pharmacies it ranks 109th out of 155, towards the lower end—some areas require quite a walk to reach the nearest clinic or pharmacy.
The name Osaki is generally thought to have appeared in the Edo period; one theory says it's a sound shift from "Ozaki," while another suggests it referred to a large cape that once jutted into Tokyo Bay. In 1889, five villages including Kami-Osaki and Shimo-Osaki merged to form Osaki Village, and in 1932 it was incorporated into Tokyo City as part of Shinagawa Ward. Osaki Station opened in 1901. The area around the station was originally adjacent to industrial zones of companies like Sony and Meidensha, and before the 1980s, hardly anyone came here except factory workers. In 1982 it was designated a sub-centre of Tokyo, and the east exit began redevelopment; after the Rinkai Line extended here in 2002, office towers went up one after another.
