Aoyama Twin, Commercial complex in Minami-Aoyama, Japan
Aoyama Twin is a commercial complex in Tokyo's Minami-Aoyama district with two connected towers standing 87.8 meters (288 feet) tall and a central plaza between them. The structure spans 23 stories above ground and houses offices, medical facilities, restaurants, and retail spaces.
The building was completed in October 1978 and stood as the only high-rise structure in the Aoyama-Ichome and Akasaka Imperial Palace area for about three decades. Its construction significantly shaped the character of this district.
The name Aoyama Twin comes from its two identical 23-storey towers, the East and West Buildings, joined around a central plaza. The site faces Aoyama-dori (Route 246) and Gaien-higashi-dori, and the low-rise shop rows around the towers sit beneath an open artificial deck. The address is 1-1-1 Minami-Aoyama, Minato, Tokyo.
The complex connects directly to Aoyama-Ichome Station, making access by public transportation very convenient. Inside you will easily find restaurants, shops, and other services, and navigation is straightforward because of the clear structure with two towers and the central plaza.
The name "Shin-Aoyama Building" distinguishes it from the older Aoyama Building, a 13-storey office block completed in March 1972 by the same developer, Mitsubishi Estate, diagonally across the Aoyama-Ichome intersection at Kita-Aoyama 1-2-3. The two are often confused by visitors.
