Basic philosophy

Contributing to the creation of a vibrant town together with the local community

Located adjacent to major tourist hubs such as Asakusa, Kinshicho, and Ryogoku, and leveraging its excellent transportation accessibility, this large-scale mixed-use development, centered around the world's tallest sightseeing Tower, will create a new hub for exchange, tourism, and industry in the East Tokyo area, working together with the local community. This will drive the revitalization of the local community and contribute to the realization of Tokyo as an international tourist city.

Creating a landscape that transcends time and space

Set against the backdrop of the Sumida River, a quintessential Edo-period landscape, this design, crafted with cutting-edge technology and rooted in Tradition Japanese aesthetics, blends Iki with the scenery created by the waterways extending from the Kita-Jikken River below and the refined atmosphere of the old town, creating a timeless landscape unlike any other in the area.

Providing peace of mind and safety in terms of disaster prevention

By providing complete earthquake, wind, and fire resistance, radio towers will demonstrate their social significance as information infrastructure not only in normal times but also in times of disaster. By promoting urban development that can fully withstand disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, they will contribute to improving the disaster prevention capabilities of the region and provide safety and security to the region.
