Carrot Tower, Commercial skyscraper in Sangenjaya, Japan
Carrot Tower is a 26-story commercial building in Sangenjaya with a distinctive red brick appearance and a spacious central atrium. The structure combines office space, retail, and cultural venues in a mixed-use layout.
Built in 1996, the structure emerged from a district modernization effort in Setagaya. It represented a turning point in the area's urban development.
The building houses a theater and radio studios that serve the local community with programming and cultural events. It functions as a social hub where local broadcasters and performers connect with residents.
The free observation deck on the top floor offers views across Tokyo and surrounding areas, with evening hours available for visits. The building is centrally located and well-served by public transportation.
The name came from a children's drawing contest where local schoolchildren chose the tower's designation. Game Freak, the company behind the Pokémon series, based its main headquarters in this building for years before relocating in 2020.
