Ginza Sony Park

Ginza Sony Park is a multipurpose complex in the heart of Ginza. Offering everything from interactive exhibitions to open-air seating, it’s a welcome oasis in the urban chaos.

What is Ginza Sony Park?

There’s been a park in the area since 1966, when the Sony Building held pride of place in Ginza. In 2018, the original building was demolished, leaving only the park area for visitors. Now, however, the entire complex has been rebuilt, with a focus on urban leisure and relaxation in Tokyo’s bustle.

Design

The park follows an open style with an emphasis on verticality. Looking up and down gives visitors new perspectives, as the building architecture curves at sharp angles.

Not only that, but the building is a mix of above and below ground, as well as indoor and outdoor spaces. The effect is of a building that is seamless and fluid — added to by the mix of new architecture and existing pieces of the old Sony Building.

Facilities

Spanning eight floors, the site is used not only as a space for events but a rest stop for weary travelers on their Ginza adventures. Currently, the park is hosting interactive exhibitions based on some of Japan’s most popular artists. Part 2 of the exhibit will open in April 2025. Fans can buy some exclusive merch on site.

1/2 (Nibun no Ichi)

On the B2 Basement floor of the complex, a true hidden gem awaits. 1/2 (Nibun no Ichi) is a restaurant with a twist — offering two smaller-sized meals on one plate, allowing visitors to experience a variety of flavors. It’s the perfect pitstop if you’re a little hungry but still want to experience more of Ginza’s impressive dining scene afterwards.

Accessibility

The entire complex is wheelchair-accessible, and designed to be accommodating to all. There is step-free access to almost every part of the building, through both ramps and elevators.

How to get to Ginza Sony Park

The park offers directly access to Ginza Station, near to Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line/Hibiya Line (Exit B9). You can also take the Yamanote Line to JR Yurakucho Station and then walk 5 minutes.
