At a Glance

Tokyo Midtown is a large mixed-use complex in Akasaka, Minato ward, Tokyo, that opened on 30 March 2007. It was built on the former Defense Agency headquarters, on land that was a Mōri clan residence in the Edo period. It combines offices, a hotel, shops, restaurants, residences and the Suntory Museum of Art. Midtown Tower rises 248 meters and was the tallest building in Tokyo when completed.

The complex connects directly to Roppongi Station on the Toei Oedo Line. The Suntory Museum of Art forms the Roppongi Art Triangle with the nearby National Art Center and the Mori Art Museum. Design is a stated theme of the project, and 21_21 Design Sight was created by Issey Miyake and Tadao Ando. A green area of about four hectares, including neighboring Hinokicho Park, holds cherry trees moved from the old site.
