Seavans is a high-rise building complex located along the Shibaura Canal, consisting of two office buildings and an atrium.
I just happened to visit this place, but after doing some research, I found out that the Seavans atrium is the largest in Japan!
To get to Seavans, you can walk from the south exit of Hamamatsucho Station using the pedestrian deck.

The pedestrian deck connects from the "Hinode Pier" area, located in the lower left corner of the Hamamatsucho Station layout.
Then, walk to the end of the pedestrian deck, go down the stairs, and walk straight through the green space. You'll find Seavans near the intersection.

Hamamatsucho Building and Shin-Hama Park come into view as you pass by.
The public open space around Seavans is designed to be spacious, creating a feeling of openness.

Here is the area map of Seavans.
The high-rise office buildings are the S Building and the N Building, and the atrium, which is placed at a 45-degree angle, is called "A-MALL".
And, there were places around Seavans where you could sit and take a break.

This is the place called "Hill Plaza" next to the Seavans entrance.
There were many single-person benches installed in the area surrounded by trees.

When I visited around 15:00 in the summer, it was in the shade, so I could take a break away from direct sunlight.
There's a convenience store and McDonald's in the nearby atrium, so the outdoor area seems to be a relaxing place for office workers.
By the way, including the office users, the daytime population of the entire Seavans area exceeds 8,000 people. Really!?

I came to the Shibaura Canal side after passing through the atrium.
This is called Water Plaza, and it has a structure like a temple.

There is a fountain on the central deck, which operates for 10 minutes between 10:00 and 15:00.
Since I visited after 15:10, I couldn't see it because it was out of operation for the day.
I always wonder, do people really want to see this kind of intermittent timer-operated fountain in real-time...?
In my case, I just pass by it, haha!
Even if it's for cooling purposes, I wonder what the appearance is like for sightseeing.
Even in places where I haven't shown photos this time, there are benches around Seavans, so please try to find your favorite bench!
So, why not use it as a place to take a break around Hamamatsucho?
