Kabukiza Tower, Office tower in Ginza, Japan.
Kabukiza Tower is an office and commercial building with 29 floors above ground and 4 basement levels situated in central Ginza. The structure houses office spaces and retail establishments while featuring direct underground connections to multiple subway lines through passages near Higashi-Ginza Station.
The building was completed in 2013 as part of a redevelopment project for the Kabukiza complex, designed by architect Kengo Kuma. This reconstruction took place at a location that had long served as a center for theater and culture in Ginza.
The tower stands at a historic theater location and brings together modern office spaces with traditional Japanese design elements visible in its form and materials. Visitors can observe this blend of contemporary commerce and heritage in the building's appearance and in the wider Ginza district.
The building offers easy access to public transit through nearby subway connections and houses multiple shops and restaurants across its floors. Visitors can navigate the underground passages smoothly by following signs that indicate connections to other areas of Ginza.
The building won the BCS Prize for its design that merges contemporary architecture with subtle references to Japanese aesthetic traditions. The facade and interior spatial arrangement display details that echo classical Japanese architectural principles.
