Hibiiya Okuroji will revitalise Tokyo’s Historic Brick Arch Viaduct in June 2020

Somewhere between Yurakucho and Shimbashi Stations, you'll find an over-300m-long elevated railway track bridge that dates back to 1910. 

Historic and beautiful, this space will this late June transform into a sprawling commercial complex: Hibiya Okuroji will house about 50 shops, bars cafes and restaurants. 

Instead of demolishing the iconic brick structure, the new design will be incorporated into the old architecture, merging the old with the new in a way that only Tokyo can.
