Culture and history around Toranomon Hills

Toranomon is a historic place name near the outer areas of old Edo Castle. Today it is best known for redevelopment, government offices and corporate towers, yet nearby shrines and temples preserve older layers of the district. Toranomon Hills also functions as a cultural platform: TOKYO NODE at the top of Station Tower hosts exhibitions, immersive programs and business or creative events. The close proximity of historic streets and major high-rise redevelopment makes this an especially clear place to see old and new Tokyo side by side.
