Shiodome Live Cam

Shiodome is a district located in Minato ward, Tokyo, Japan. Its history dates back to the Edo period (1603-1868) when it was originally an inlet used as a landing area for maritime traffic. The name "Shiodome" itself can be translated as "halt the tides," which is indicative of its function as a coastal zone.

During the Meiji Restoration in the late 19th century, Japan underwent significant modernization and development. In the 1870s, extensive land reclamation efforts were undertaken in the Tokyo Bay area, and the Shiodome region was transformed into dry land. This land reclamation was part of Tokyo's urban expansion plan, which aimed to accommodate the city's growing population and promote industrialization.
