Midtown Tower

Midtown Tower is a modern skyscraper in Akasaka rising to 248.1 meters with 54 stories above ground and 5 levels below. The structure contains office spaces distributed across multiple floors, with various business tenants occupying the mid-level sections.

The structure was completed in 2007 and held the title of Tokyo's tallest building until 2014. This period represented a milestone in the city's changing skyline.

The tower features large-scale artworks by Sam Francis displayed in its lobby, bringing artistic presence into the commercial space. These installations serve as visual focal points that shape how people experience the building's interior.

The tower is easily accessible by public transportation with a train station nearby in Akasaka. The main lobby area is open to visitors and offers retail shops and dining options on the lower levels.

A traditional Japanese tearoom dating back more than 200 years is housed within the hotel occupying the upper floors. This blend of contemporary architecture and authentic heritage creates an unexpected juxtaposition within the modern tower.
