東京 T O K Y O the stunning metropolis - 東京株式会社 TOKYO CORPORATE

[Vapour]

Tokyo is home to more Forbes 500 companies than any other city in the world. Below I post pictures from some of the best known worldwide.

東京株式会社 TOKYO CORPORATE

NEC Supertower (1990. Nikken Sekkei, 180m/591ft)

NEC’s headquarters is probably the tallest and most outstanding corporate building in Tokyo.

Itochu is a huge company based in Osaka, but they have a massive office building in Tokyo - Aoyama (1980, 92m/302ft):

Canon (2002. 83m/272ft)

Canon HQ is in Shimomaruko, quite far from central Tokyo but still in the city limits. There they have several buildings and a wall enclosing the whole complex, so I couldn’t see much. They have a taller building (144m/473ft) in Shinagawa.

Sony’s World Head Office in Kitashinagawa. Not very remarkable...

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/photopost/data/500/132004_1018_shinagawa_sony_hq.jpg

...but rather than a head building, Sony has its own quarter with 13 buildings scattered around the main one. Here’s a map:

Not a good picture, sorry.

Finally, Sony Computer Entertainment Head Office (=Playstation)

very nice.

Wait till they finish the toyota mainichi tower in nagoya in 2006. Toyota are moving their overseas division from Tokyo to the 247m tower next to the JR towers. They're also moving a part into the 180m building to be built near by for 2007. Truely Exciting.

The Japnese way I guess.The silent achiever

But Nick, not many companies have a quarter with 13 buildings as HQ (plus many other buildings in Tokyo) :D
