Marunouchi Central Building

The Marunouchi Central Building stands 14 floors tall with glass facades and connects directly to Tokyo Station through its ground floor concourse.

The building, completed in February 2003, replaced the former Central Control Office of the Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen high-speed rail lines.

Architect Kisho Kurokawa designed this structure, integrating modern Japanese architectural elements with functional office space requirements.

The building houses the Central Japan Railway Company headquarters and provides direct underground access to three major metro stations within a 7-minute walk.

The structure contains specialized maintenance facilities for the Shinkansen bullet trains in its basement levels while operating as a commercial building above ground.
