History

Tennōzu Isle was built on reclaimed land. It is named after Gozu Tennō, whose mask was brought up from the sea near this area. Tennōzu Isle was originally created as a fort to protect Shinagawa from naval invasions, but was redeveloped into a district with many warehouses. Some of these warehouses remain in operation today.^[1]
