Gofukucho Tower, Mixed-use skyscraper in Aoi ward, Shizuoka, Japan
Description
Gofukucho Tower is a modern high-rise building with 29 floors in downtown Shizuoka that combines apartments, offices, retail stores, and parking in a single integrated structure. The building stretches about 109 meters (356 feet) and occupies a substantial footprint in the city center.
History
The tower opened in 2014 and represented a turning point in Shizuoka's urban growth strategy. This project demonstrated the city's commitment to vertical development in its central areas.
Culture
The tower reflects how modern Japanese cities blend residential and commercial life in one place. Walking through it, you encounter the mix of apartment dwellers, office workers, and shoppers sharing the same building.
Practical
The building sits in downtown Shizuoka with easy access by public transportation and nearby train stations. You will find parking on-site, along with shopping and dining options directly within the structure.
Did you know?
The tower consolidates five completely different functions under one roof, which was an unusual design choice for Japanese mixed-use architecture at the time. This arrangement allows you to move between residential areas, office spaces, and shopping zones within minutes.
