Visit Report: Tokyo International Forum Glass Building

Rising majestically in front of Yurakucho Station, the Tokyo International Forum is known for its unique architectural design.

The 207-meter-long, 60-meter-high interior features soaring ceilings with an open atrium, and ramps that spiral up to the top floor. The spaceship-like interior is incredibly photogenic and perfect for social media.

It's frequently used as a location for portrait photography shoots, so you'll often spot visitors with cameras and models throughout the building.

On the 7th floor at the northernmost end of the Glass Building, there's a lounge area where you can get close to the floor-to-ceiling windows and enjoy views of the Tokyo Station area streetscape.

The building stays open late and offers free admission, which is a wonderful bonus.
