Ochanomizu Sola City, Modern skyscraper in Surugadai, Japan
Ochanomizu Sola City is a 23-story modern skyscraper located in this central Tokyo district. The building houses office spaces, conference centers, retail areas, and two large plazas situated at ground level and underground.
The site once held the Iwasaki family residence and was connected to the Mitsubishi Corporation legacy, with original stone walls and brick structures from that period still remaining. These remnants reflect the industrial and business heritage that shaped the location.
The Ocha-navigate information center displays digital exhibitions and collections that tell the story of how the Ochanomizu district has evolved over time. Visitors can explore displays about the area's development and transformation.
The building sits directly adjacent to JR Ochanomizu Station, making it very easy to reach. Multiple restaurants and cafés throughout the underground levels and various floors serve Japanese and international cuisine.
From the main plazas, visitors can see the historic Nikolai-do Cathedral and Yushima-seido Temple nearby, creating a striking contrast between modern architecture and traditional religious buildings. Many visitors don't realize these important landmarks are so close to the building.
