Shinagawa ku 品川区 "goods river" district
Shinagawa had already been a busy postal town during the Nara and Heian period, on the road from Kyoto to 国府 Kokufu.
- quote
In English, it is called Shinagawa City. The ward is home to nine embassies.
Most of Tokyo east of the Imperial Palace
is reclaimed land. A large portion of reclamation happened during the Edo period. Following the Meiji restoration and the Abolition of the han system, Shinagawa prefecture was instituted in 1869. The prefectural administration was planned to be set up in present-day Shinagawa in the Ebara district.
In 1871, Shinagawa prefecture was integrated into Tokyo Prefecture.
The ward was founded on March 15, 1947
through the administrative amalgamation of the former Ebara Ward with the former Shinagawa Ward. Both Ebara Ward and Shinagawa Ward had been created in 1932, with the outward expansion of the municipal boundaries of the Tokyo City following the 1923 Great Kantō Earthquake.
In the Edo period,
Shinagawa was the first post town a traveler would reach after setting out from Nihonbashi on the Tōkaidō highway from Edo to Kyoto. The post-town function is retained today with several large hotels near the train station offering 6,000 hotel rooms, the largest concentration in the city.
The Tokugawa shogunate maintained the Suzugamori execution grounds in Shinagawa. The Tōkaidō Shinkansen began serving Shinagawa Station from 2003, and the nearby Shinagawa Intercity office complex will be served by a new subway station in a few years' time.

Suigetsu Kannon 水月観音 "Water-Moon Kannon"
Temple 品川寺 Honsen-Ji
was founded in 810, when Kobo Daishi traveled in the region and gave the statue of Kannon to the head of the 品河氏 Shinagawa clan. It was in their possession until 品河左京亮 Shinagawa Sakyonosuke in 1395.
The statue of Suigetsu Kannon in Shinagawa later had a temple hall built by 太田道灌 Ota Dokan in 1457, but after that the 北条氏 Hojo clan became the regent of Shinagawa. During the fights with 武田信玄 Takeda Shingen all of Shinagawa village was burned down and Shingen took the statue of Kannon back to his home in 甲斐 Kai (Yamanashi).
The man who had carried the Kannon, became ill with high fever and almost lost his mind. He cried:
"I am the Kannon from Shinagawa. Please bring me back as soon as possible."
So Shingen had the statue brought back and again made a temple hall for it.
