Tokyo Building, Commercial building and skyscraper in Marunouchi, Tokyo, Japan
Tokyo Building is a tall commercial structure in Marunouchi with multiple floors of offices, shops, and dining spaces. The lower levels feature retail stores, cafes, and a food hall offering Japanese and international options, while upper floors contain company offices and a restaurant with city views from the 27th floor.
A simpler nine-story building occupied this site starting in 1923 and survived both a major earthquake and wartime bombing. The current structure was built later as a much taller replacement, with one original portico preserved as a link to the site's past.
The building functions as a gathering place for commuters and visitors who pass through its shops, cafes, and dining areas on the lower floors throughout the day. It has become part of the daily rhythm of Tokyo's business district, where people meet, eat, and move between offices and train connections.
The building sits directly next to Tokyo Station and is easily accessible by subway or on foot from nearby train lines. It has elevators, ramps for people with disabilities, restrooms, and seating areas throughout for visitor convenience.
One portico from the original 1923 building was preserved and incorporated into the modern structure, creating a physical link between past and present. This detail reminds visitors of the site's long history and shows how the city evolves while respecting what came before.
