Toshima Incineration Plant, Waste incineration plant in Kami-Ikebukuro, Tokyo, Japan

The Toshima Incineration Plant, an 11-story building with a 210-meter chimney, processes 400 tons of waste daily for Tokyo's urban districts.

Following construction approval in 1991, the facility was built on the former site of Ikebukuro Mammoth Pool, opening its operations in June 1999.

The facility's chimney served as the visual inspiration for the tower in Makoto Shinkai's animated film 'The Place Promised in Our Early Days'.

The plant generates 7,800 kilowatts of electricity through waste incineration and supplies hot water to the Toshima Health Plaza facility.

Environmental activists from Greenpeace climbed the facility's walls in May 2000 to protest against dioxin emissions from waste incineration.
