Tips on Driving to Takanawa |
|---|
If coming down Sakurada Dori, continuing to Gotanda Station might be easier than turning at Takanawadai Station. (Look on our map for the left turn just before the main intersection at the station—it is a bypass to the traffic at the station.) If you come down Route 15, note there is no right turn onto Zakuo Zaka (the road opposite the station). Just keep following the Gotanda signs around Kaitokaku and come in the alternate route (shown in red on the map). Many Members have driven to the front gate and set their GPS navigation systems. Most people traveling by car say it is quite easy to find. See you at the Club. Please check the Club Web site or the Member Welcome Booklet for more information on getting to Takanawa.

Getting to the New Club |
|---|
The Club’s shuttle bus runs regular round trips between the Club and Shinagawa station. Check out the Club Web site or the “Takanawa Welcome Booklet” for details on public transport options, including the convenient bus number 96 which goes from Azabu Juban to a stop next to our Club. The Takanawa wallet map and the access map in the “Takanawa Welcome Booklet” show an entry road to the Club from Route 317 between Shinagawa and Gotanda. A section of this road is subject to periodic closure during demolition of the Sony buildings. If it is closed, simply drive another 100 meters to the next right turn, which connects with the main road to the Club. |
Stroller Pilot Program |
|---|
| Unlike at the Club in Azabudai, the layout of the Takanawa Club allows for strollers on the first floor of the Family Area, including at designated tables in Garden Café. The idea behind this program is to help parents who need to keep infants in their strollers. However, whenever possible, strollers should be parked outside to minimize congestion. |
Sunday Brunch and Dinner |
|---|
The Sunday Brunch and Dinner buffets have been Club favorites for a long time. Brunch: 11 a.m.–1 p.m. and 1:30–3 p.m. Adults: ¥6,000 (includes all-you-can-drink Champagne) |
Outside Play Structure |
|---|
| The Club is preparing to build a children’s play structure next to the Baby Pool. In the meantime, Members are free to use the park near the back gate of the Parking Lot. Access cards are available from the Member Services Desk. |
New Bus Schedule |
|---|
| As of April 1, the schedules of bus numbers 96 and 97, two of the most popular buses used by Members to get to the Club, have changed. New English timetables can be picked up at the Member Services Desk or viewed here. |
