The 38-story tower serves as the headquarters of Mizuho Bank. A luxury hotel facility operated by Aman Resorts occupies the top six floors of the tower.[1]

Overview

The tower replaces the previous 16-story Mizuho Bank Otemachi headquarters building. A major feature of this development is a 3,600-m2 green area named "Otemachi Forest" occupying one third of the site.[2]

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.[3]
