Shinjuku Oak Tower, Office tower in Shinjuku district, Japan.
Shinjuku Oak Tower is a 38-story office building standing 184 meters tall with distinctive blue glass facades and a wing-shaped roof form. The structure consists primarily of office spaces and connects directly to Shinjuku Station via underground passage.
Land development for the site began in 1971 but faced decades of resistance from property owners. The building finally reached completion in 2002 after extensive negotiations and planning stages.
The tower takes its name from the oak tree, a symbol of stability in Japanese tradition. This choice reflects how modern buildings in this district often draw inspiration from natural elements.
The tower is easily accessible via direct underground connections to Shinjuku Station, making it convenient for commuters. The building sits in a busy commercial area where most facilities and services are within walking distance.
A sky lobby on the twentieth floor features transparent shuttle elevators that carry visitors from the entrance gallery upward. This open elevator system allows travelers to see the skyline while ascending.
