One of the latest editions to Tokyo's skyline is set to open in the capital's Kabukicho district next Friday. The area is better known as one of Japan's largest entertainment quarters rather than home to skyscrapers.
The Tokyu Group started construction of the 225-meter-tall Tokyu Kabukicho Tower in 2019. The building has 48 stories and five basement floors. It opened to the media on Thursday.
Dining and drinking establishments are arranged in alleys on the second floor, resembling sidestreets in the neighborhood outside.
A luxury hotel occupies the upper floors. Entertainment facilities include a live-music venue and a nightclub on the basement floors.
The Tokyu Group says bus services linking the tower with Haneda and Narita airports will start operating to coincide with its opening.
