Overview
editThe Otemachi Tower replaced the previous 16-story head office complex of Fuji Bank then of Muzuho Holdings, which had been built in 1990 on the same site and was demolished in 2012.[2]
A major feature is a 3,600-m2 green area named "Otemachi Forest" occupying one third of the site.[3]
The building is situated above a nexus of five subway lines. The basement floors connect directly to Ōtemachi Station, as well as other nearby buildings.[4]
