Amico Building

The Amico Building is a shopping complex in Tokushima with east and west sections connected by walkways on multiple levels that house retail stores, a public library, and a civic center. The structure integrates commercial spaces with cultural and public facilities across several floors.

The building opened in 1983 on a site where an elementary school once stood as part of urban renewal efforts for the area. This development represented a shift from residential education facilities to mixed-use public spaces.

The library and civic center within the building serve as gathering places where residents and visitors connect through programs and exhibitions throughout the year. These spaces shape how the community experiences culture in this part of the city.

The building sits near JR Tokushima Station and offers underground parking with direct connections to public transportation on multiple levels. Visitors can easily navigate between different shops and facilities through the connected walkways.

Above the third floor, the east and west wings operate as separate structures connected only through corridors on the lower levels. This divided design is an unusual architectural solution that gives the building its distinctive layout.
