Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower, Modern skyscraper in Nihonbashi district, Tokyo, Japan
Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower is a 39-story glass and steel structure designed by César Pelli, rising 194 meters in central Tokyo. The building contains retail spaces, office areas, and the Mandarin Oriental Hotel occupying floors 30 through 38.
The site previously housed Sembikiya, an upscale fruit merchant established in 1867 that closed in 1971 after operating from a three-story Western-style building. The tower was built during the 1990s on this long-established commercial location.
The Mitsui Memorial Museum on the seventh floor displays artifacts from the Edo Period, documenting over 300 years of Japanese commercial tradition. The collection shows how the Mitsui family shaped local trade and daily life.
The building connects directly to Tokyo Metro Mitsukoshimae Station, making it easily accessible by train. Most visitors enter through the station connection to reach the shops, museum, and hotel areas.
The building's atrium features restored stained glass from the former Mitsui Building Number 2, creating a connection to its architectural past. This glass art is easy to miss while passing through but rewards a closer look at the main entrance level.
