Akihabara Daibiru Building, Technical office building in Akihabara, Japan.
The Akihabara Daibiru Building is a high-rise office complex in Tokyo's technology hub with 33 floors combining above and underground levels. The structure houses educational institutions on lower floors and corporate offices on upper levels, all interconnected within one large building.
The building opened in 2005 on land where the historic Kanda Produce Market had operated as a commercial center. This transformation reflected the district's shift from traditional trading hub to a modern center for technology and research.
The building brings together educational institutions and technology companies under one roof, creating natural meeting points. This proximity fosters regular exchanges between academic researchers and industry professionals who work in the same space.
The building is accessible through multiple entrances serving different tenants and visitor purposes. Access to specific sections may vary depending on which institution or office you are visiting, so it helps to know your destination in advance.
The building houses a dedicated learning center and convention space on the second floor designed specifically for academic and industry collaboration. These shared facilities are often overlooked by casual visitors who focus only on the offices and institutions they came to see.
