Tokyo Midtown, Mixed-use complex in Akasaka, Japan
Description
Tokyo Midtown is a multi-story complex in Akasaka featuring several buildings arranged around a central plaza and a public park area. The main structure houses offices on the upper floors while the lower levels contain retail shops, restaurants, and two art spaces.
History
The site belonged to the Mōri clan during the Edo period and later became a military facility for Japanese and American forces until the year 2000. After the site was released, the current building complex arose through a development project completed in 2007.
Culture
The adjoining Midtown Garden covers four hectares and preserves several old trees from the time before the military base. Residents from the surrounding area visit the park during daylight to walk and use the paths through the green spaces as a shortcut through the neighborhood.
Practical
The easiest approach is through Roppongi Station or Nogizaka Station, both a few minutes' walk from the entrance. Shops and dining areas fill up especially on weekends and holidays, so visiting on weekday mornings offers more quiet.
Did you know?
A tearoom over 200 years old stands on the uppermost floors of the Ritz-Carlton hotel and offers a view toward Mount Fuji on clear days. The historical structure was relocated from its original site and rebuilt within the hotel area.
