The Yomiuri Shimbun Group's Main Facilities

The Yomiuri Shimbun Building

As well as being the center of The Yomiuri Shimbun's publishing operations, The Yomiuri Shimbun Building, located in the Tokyo business district Otemachi, also serves as a facility equipped with spaces for public use such as large halls and galleries.

The building is 200 meters tall and composed of 33 floors above ground level and three underground floors. Equipped with the most sophisticated antidisaster technologies including vibration-damping construction which absorbs the energy produced by an earthquake, the building was constructed to withstand earthquakes and other disasters ensuring newspaper publication may proceed even at times of major disasters equivalent in scale to the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. The Yomiuri Shimbun has an agreement with the municipal government of Chiyoda Ward, where our headquarters is located, that the building can be used to temporarily accommodate approximately 1,000 people unable to return home or travel in the event of a disaster.

Furthermore, consideration has been given to the environment in the building's design. The 560-square-meter lower-level rooftop garden, a countermeasure to the urban heat island effect, is a prime example of such consideration.

The hall can be used as a venue for a wide variety of events, from classical music concerts to preview screenings of movies, traditional art performances and symposiums. The unique form of the hall's walls, created by stacking wooden half cylinders on top of one another, reflects sound from the stage in all directions, giving the venue excellent acoustics.
