Asahi Shimbun Building, Media headquarters in Kita-ku, Japan

The Asahi Shimbun Building is a media center in Osaka with modern design, housing newsrooms, production spaces, and conference areas for one of Japan's major newspapers. The complex spans multiple levels with different sections for journalists, designers, and administrative teams.

The Asahi Shimbun Building was completed in 1968 as part of the Nakanoshima redevelopment, replacing the 1916 Osaka head office and the 1926 Asahi Kaikan. It stood west and south of the 1931 Osaka Asahi Building, which it wrapped in an L shape. Construction took six and a half years in two phases so printing could continue. Demolition began in early 2013 and ended in March 2014.

The building housed FM Osaka from its launch on 1 April 1970 until the station moved to Minatomachi River Place in Naniwa-ku on 22 July 2002. Regional broadcasters also kept Osaka offices here, among them TV Asahi, Nagoya TV, Kyushu Asahi Broadcasting and Hokkaido Television Broadcasting.

The building stood on Nakanoshima island in Kita-ku, with its southeast side on Yotsubashi-suji and the Hanshin Expressway Route 11 Ikeda Line running along its west side at the fourth floor, where the structure served as part of the bridge pier. Demolition began in early 2013 and ended in March 2014, with a groundbreaking ceremony for the replacement in June 2014.

The building's west side carries the Hanshin Expressway Route 11 Ikeda Line at the fourth floor, and the structure itself serves as part of the bridge pier. Construction ran in two phases so the newspaper could keep publishing, taking six and a half years to finish. The pier section was separated from the rebuilt portion and kept in use.
