Tokyo Tower from Azabudai Hills Central Square 麻布台ヒルズ 中央広場からの東京タワー

Azabudai Hills' green, sloping Central Square puts Tokyo Tower just across the valley above wavy Heatherwick-designed roofs and orchards, the newest favourite angle on the tower.

About

Azabudai Hills opened in November 2023 with a large landscaped Central Square at its heart, surrounded by low pavilions with undulating green roofs designed by Thomas Heatherwick and overlooked by the 330 m Mori JP Tower. Because the site sits on high ground just west of Shiba, Tokyo Tower appears close and tall above the gardens, framed by trees, planted roofs and, in early spring, early-blooming cherry blossoms. The square is free and open to the public; in winter it hosts a Christmas market and illuminations, and the glass towers around it catch the sunset. It is ten minutes' walk from Kamiyacho Station and pairs naturally with teamLab Borderless underneath.

Highlights

• Tokyo Tower rising above landscaped gardens and green roofs
• Thomas Heatherwick's wave-like pavilion roofs as foreground
• Mori JP Tower, Japan's tallest-class skyscraper, for vertical frames
• Winter Christmas market and lights
• Early cherry blossom with the tower in late February to March

Tips

• Late afternoon light from the west lights the tower's face directly.
• Explore the paths around the square's edge for the angle with the tower between buildings; the best spots shift as trees grow.
• Tripods are not allowed on private Hills property without permission; shoot handheld.
• Combine with teamLab Borderless (book ahead) and Kamiyacho's cafes.
