Ancient temples, western influences, and icons of Japanese architecture and design. It’s all found here in Tokyo, the city of culture, cuisine, and shopping centres.
Below is the MUST-SEE Architecture in Tokyo. I hope you find it useful as you wander its busy streets (there’s a map at the bottom to guide you around). As you see with the date at the top, this list is always updating as new projects are completed. If you want to see your photo featured, hashtag #AVONTUURA on Instagram and I will try my best to include it.

Contemporary Architecture
Asakusa Culture and Tourism Center
Located in the Taitō district of Tokyo, Asakusa is famous for the Sensō-ji, a local Buddhist temple in the area. The design of the culture and tourism center is a clever combination of both function and tradition in this regard. The building houses several different functions from the neighborhood’s tourist information center, to exhibition spaces, multi-purpose and conference rooms. Architect Kengo Kuma saw this as an opportunity to create a vertical village that espouses a vernacular quality in a contemporary way.

Fuji Kindergarten
View this post on Instagram
Shaped like a giant halo, Japan’s largest kindergarten has no interior walls to emphasize the concept of no-barriers, allowing kids total freedom inside and out. At 2.1m tall, the building is extremely short by contemporary standards and is designed to be closer to the ground to match the height of its primary users. Two zelkova trees pass through the roof deck letting kids climb it as part of their playtime. Along with windows along the perimeter, there are no hiding places which allow for easy supervision for the adults.

Tama Art University Library
The Tama Art University Library is a largely-restrained, yet elegant building designed by Pritzker Prize-winning Japanese architect Toyo Ito. Known for his exploration of form and structure (often working in unison with each other), the library is an open space designed as a gallery for teachers and students to meet and share ideas. The design is most noted for its slender, concrete arches that provide a delicate canopy over the interior spaces while allowing natural light to flood in.

Za-Koenji Public Theatre
While its odd shape and color may seem quite arbitrary, the design for Za-Koenji Public Theatre was the result of significant consideration of its surrounding context. Located in Tokyo’s Suginami Ward, the theatre sits in the middle of several residential buildings that brought along with it several sound and height restrictions. Its all-black exterior and lack of openings ensure that noise and sound generated in the theatre are kept within the walls. Its irregular shape is actually 5 elliptic cones and 2 cylinders carved out of a cube that responds to the different roof heights of the adjoining buildings.

Natural Ellipse House
View this post on Instagram
Located in one of Tokyo’s busiest shopping areas, the Natural Ellipse House is completely responsive to its environment with limited opportunity for natural light that is protected from pedestrian onlook. As a result, the introverted design looks inward with a unique structure composed of laser-cut iron ribs. Its ivory-white skin is made of fiber-reinforced polymer sheets that were created on site meaning that there are no seams present.

Prada Flagship Store
The work of noted Swiss architectural firm Herzog & de Meuron, Prada Flagship store Tokyo is a remarkably beautiful building, shaped like a giant crystal that appears to change its shape as you walk around it. Its glass is quite unique and varies from flat to convex and concave surfaces that are held together by rhomboid-shaped metal frames. Its this rich combination of glass that creates a visual interplay between inside and out, giving those around it a sense of wonder as they paruse the products around them.

A 7-storey retail building in Tokyo’s Omotesando shopping district, the design was based on providing floor-to-floor flexibility for retailers while providing a unique vertical shopping experience.

The terraces are connected by two sets of stairs for shoppers. One for ascending, and one for descending.

De Beers Ginza Building
View this post on Instagram
The client, De Beers Jewellers, wanted a building that had a feminine form and sparkled like its product. As a response, local firm Jun Mitsui & Associates Architects took inspiration for the building from a waving ribbon of light rising out of the earth as an aurora. These qualities are enhanced through custom stainless steel pipes that create sparkles of light throughout the vertical surface of the tower.

View this post on Instagram
Designed for Japanese media company Dentsu, for architect Jean Nouvel, the design of the tower was about simplicity and respect for both its occupants, and for the City as a while.

View this post on Instagram
Located at the base of Jean Nouvel’s office tower for Japanese media company Dentsu, the design is a public refuge for workers complete with restaurants, cafes, a library, museum, theatre, and shopping center. The metaphor of a rock is used throughout the design to symbolize its position at the base of the tower and gives the space a “carved-out” feel complete with a waterfall and natural light.

K-Museum
View this post on Instagram
Imagine a city, reclaimed from the sea with an elaborate infrastructure but no buildings. K-Museum documents the lost waterfront city called Odaiba. Located at the very head of Tokyo Bay, the museum was designed to showcase the hidden infrastructure that keeps Tokyo functioning. After a terrible recession hit Japan in the 1980’s, the proposed development in the area went bankrupt and museum closed with it. Development has since picked up in the area in recent years and the possibility of reopening the K-Museum exists.

Kabukicho Tower

Modern Architecture
Nakagin Capsule Tower
Easily one of Tokyo’s most recognizable buildings, the Nakagin Capsule Tower is a rare example of Japanese Metabolism that is still remaining. The Metabolists emerged out of postwar Japan and their designs were inspired by organic biological growth. The building consists of two concrete towers, eleven and thirteen stories each, that hold 140 prefabricated concrete capsules. The building is at high-risk of being demolished due to the incredibly high cost of renovating each capsule and the squalid living conditions inside.

The church is inspired by the lightness of a bird and its wings.

Asahi Beer Hall
Widely considered one of Tokyo’s most iconic modern structures, the Asahi Beer Hall was designed by French architect Phillipe Starck. The beer hall is shaped like a beer glass to complement the adjacent golden beer glass-shaped offices next door. The large golden structure at the top of the hall is the Asahi Flame and is intended to represent a frosty head. It is completely void of program and was built by a shipbuilding company using submarine construction techniques. It is occasionally and colloquially referred to as “the golden turd”.
