Description
Built in the 1990s after a competition involving nearly 300 architects, this design by Rafael Viñoly clearly soars. It's a convention hall with a few shops and restaurants, in two sections. The side closest to Yurakucho Station seems to sail like a glass-sided boat--wander up into it via a series of elevators and walkways. Inside is a small museum dedicated to Mitsuo Aida, a beloved calligrapher-poet, and be sure to note the sculpture garden between the buildings.
