Time Out says

A full five years after the start of railway service at Takanawa Gateway Station, the district just north of Shinagawa celebrates the opening of its crown jewel. Extending across five massive buildings, the mixed-use Takanawa Gateway City development counts among the largest of its kind in Tokyo. 

It comprises vast swaths of commercial space, a JW Marriott hotel, offices and residences, but also ample greenery in the form of a 40,000sqm park and a stunning-looking rooftop garden on the 28th and 29th floors of one of the central buildings.

One of the key structures is the Cultural Creation Building, designed by none other than ubiquitous starchitect Kengo Kuma. It has six stories and three underground floors with an exhibition hall, restaurants and more.
