The headquarters of TV Asahi, one of Japan’s biggest television networks, is in the heart of Roppongi. Located next to Mohri Garden, this iconic eight-story architectural wonder of an office building is full of character — literally.

The network boasts some of Japan’s most popular characters including Doraemon and Crayon Shin-chan. It also produces some of the country’s most anticipated J-dramas.

Fans from around the world should pop into the first-floor souvenir shop to find exclusive goods featuring their favorite characters. Also take a wander around to see if you can find any posters of the big names — the majority of them are displayed on the outside of the building.
