About Carrot Tower
The Carrot Tower is a distinctive high-rise in Tokyo's Sangenjaya neighborhood, rising directly above the station of the same name. At 124 meters (407 feet) tall with 27 floors, the building, completed in 1996, is the only skyscraper of this size on the surrounding skyline. Its reddish brick facade inspired the name, which came out of a public contest and alludes to the carrot-like coloring. The office building houses a supermarket and a restaurant on the ground floor, while a bookstore and a physical therapy clinic occupy the second floor. Visitors can enjoy a free observation deck on the 26th floor and dine at the Sky Carrot restaurant. The complex also contains the Setagaya Public Theatre and the small Theatre Tram.
