Azabudai Hills Mori JP Tower 麻布台ヒルズ森JPタワー

At about 325 m, the tallest building in Japan since 2023: Pelli Clarke & Partners' faceted glass tower rising above Thomas Heatherwick's undulating, plant-covered podium in a new hilltop district beside Tokyo Tower.

About

Azabudai Hills opened in November 2023 after more than three decades of land assembly by Mori Building, and its centrepiece, the Mori JP Tower, overtook Osaka's Abeno Harukas as Japan's tallest building. The tower's gently curving glass skin, by Pelli Clarke & Partners, catches the light differently from every angle, while at its base Heatherwick Studio's low-rise buildings swell up like waves, their roofs planted with trees and threaded with paths around a central green. The complex mixes offices, Aman Residences, the international British School, a market hall of fine-food shops, galleries and teamLab Borderless, and the whole hillside is designed to be walked. From the Central Square and nearby streets you get some of the closest modern-meets-retro views of Tokyo Tower, a few hundred metres away. The 33rd-floor sky lobby is now reserved for customers of the restaurants and cafe up there.

Highlights

• Japan's tallest building at roughly 325 m
• Heatherwick's wave-like, tree-planted podium roofs
• Central green and orchard paths through the complex
• Tokyo Tower framed between the new towers
• Azabudai Hills Market food hall on the lower floors

Tips

• For the view from the top, book the Sky Room cafe or one of the 33rd-floor restaurants; the sky lobby is no longer a free observation deck.
• Use Kamiyacho Station exit 5, which connects almost directly to the complex.
• Visit at dusk when Tokyo Tower lights up beside the glass towers.
• Toranomon Hills is a 10 minute walk north if you want to see both of Mori Building's new districts.
