ライオン本社ビル, Corporate headquarters in Kuramae, Tokyo, Japan
Lion Corporation headquarters is a modern office building in the Kuramae district serving as the central base for a major Japanese manufacturer of personal care and household products. The structure consolidates operations and serves thousands of employees working in product development, sales, and administration.
The corporation began in 1891 as a soap manufacturer and expanded to become a major producer of oral care and household products across Japan. Its relocation to this district represents a key moment in the company's growth and helped shape Kuramae's modern commercial development.
The building sits in a historically important commercial district where local shops and traditional businesses still operate around it. This location connects the corporation to Kuramae's past as a center for small traders and craft workers.
The building sits three minutes on foot from Kuramae Station on the Toei Asakusa Line, making it accessible by public transportation. The location is easy to reach from central Tokyo and nearby residential neighborhoods.
The interior features open-space layouts and flexible workstations designed to encourage collaboration between different departments. This design approach reflects contemporary Japanese corporate thinking about how employees should work together.
