Elsa Tower 55

Elsa Tower 55 is a 55-story residential skyscraper standing 186 meters tall in Kawaguchi. The building features a glass facade that reflects the surrounding metropolitan landscape and makes efficient use of space with multiple underground levels.

The building was completed in 1998 and was Japan's tallest residential building at that time. It held this title until 2004, when other towers began reaching similar heights.

The tower shapes Kawaguchi's skyline as a symbol of modern urban development in the Greater Tokyo area. Its presence shows how Japanese cities embrace vertical living to address limited space.

The tower is located in a busy urban area and is easily accessible by public transportation. Visitors can take advantage of nearby train stations and local services to explore the surrounding neighborhood.

Takenaka Corporation designed this tower with special construction methods to handle local geological conditions. The building was engineered with underground levels to make the most of limited space.
