Tokyo Times Tower: A Landmark Residence with Sky Tree Views
This exceptional property is a 27th-floor southeast-facing corner unit in the iconic Tokyo Times Tower, a landmark high-rise in Akihabara. The apartment offers a spacious 92.95㎡ 3LDK layout, featuring a flat, beam-free ceiling in the living-dining-kitchen area and wide, L-shaped view windows that create an open, airy atmosphere. The unit is currently vacant and available for immediate viewing.
Translated agent notes on equipment and features reveal a comprehensively appointed home. The unit is equipped with ceiling cassette air conditioners in all rooms (5 total), underfloor heating in the LDK, a disposer, an IH cooking heater, a built-in dishwasher, and a built-in water purifier. The bathroom is a 1620-size TOTO Shinra series unit with a full-auto bath, bath reheating function, shoulder and hip jets, and a bathroom heater/dryer. Other features include a large washbasin vanity with mirror cabinet, a hand-wash counter, and a tankless toilet. The property underwent a full renovation completed in February 2026, which included new wallpaper and flooring throughout, new floor tiles in the entrance, hallway, washroom, and toilet, and a complete renewal of the kitchen, bathroom, washroom, toilet, fittings, curtain rails, and entrance mirror.
The building itself, originally developed and constructed by Kajima Corporation, is a super RC frame high-rise tower. It features double ceilings and double floors, 24-hour manned management with nighttime security, a porte-cochère entrance, double auto-lock with non-touch key system, hotel-like interior corridor design, five elevators, parcel boxes, and allows pet ownership and office use (with regulations and management association approval). Trash can be disposed of 24 hours a day. Shared facilities are extensive, including a 1st-floor concierge service, 2nd-floor sky lobby and conference room, 13th-floor fitness room, and 31st-floor guest rooms and sky lounge.
The location is supremely convenient, within a 5-minute walk from JR Akihabara Station (Yamanote, Keihin-Tohoku, Sobu lines, and Tsukuba Express), a 3-minute walk from Tokyo Metro Ginza Line's Suehirocho Station, and a 7-minute walk from Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line's Akihabara Station. The area is the heart of Akihabara, globally famous as a center for electronics, anime, and otaku culture. An interesting local fact is that the district's name, "Akihabara," originally derived from "Akiba" (after a fire-controlling deity) and "hara" (field), as it was once a firebreak area for Edo Castle. The closest major landmark is the Tokyo Skytree, which is directly visible from the LDK and balcony of this south-east facing unit, offering spectacular views, especially during the Sumida River Fireworks Festival.
