Location
Literally meaning “Tiger’s Gate,” Toranomon was the name of one of the gates leading to Edo Castle. To protect this sacred land, numerous temples and shrines were built centuries ago and remain today as a part of Tokyo’s rich history. In preparation for the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, Toranomon has become an integral part of the city, serving as a bridge between Tokyo’s fascinating past and dynamic future.
Key sites/activities in the area
With easy access to the Ginza shopping area, the Marunouchi financial district, government buildings in Kasumigaseki and the business and entertainment areas of Shimbashi, Akasaka, and Roppongi, Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills is ideally poised to accommodate business and leisure travellers alike. Toranomon Hills is just seven minutes by foot from Tokyo Metro Toranomon and ten minutes from the JR Shimbashi and Tokyo Metro Kamiyacho stations.
Fun Facts
One of Tokyo’s oldest districts, the prestigious Toranomon area was one of several key points along the outer moat of Edo Castle, the social and political centre of Japan during the 1603–1867 rule of the Tokugawa shogunate. A number of such gates, or fortified bridges, as well as temples and shrines, were strategically placed in the capital to ward off evil spirits, and the tiger gate of Toranomon was one such symbolic protector. Historical landmarks such as the Atago Shrine, Zojoji Temple and Hamarikyu Gardens, as well as traditional craftsmen’s workshops, remain in the area today.
