Toranomon Hills
Toranomon Hills ( ⻁ ノ ⾨ ヒ ル ズ Toranomon Hiruzu) is a
Toranomon Hills
skyscraper complex project built by Mori Building in the Toranomon
district of Minato, Tokyo, Japan. Designed by Nihon Sekkei, it is 虎ノ門ヒルズ
built around the new Loop Road No. 2, a surface artery that will
connect the Shinbashi and Toranomon districts.[5]

Its highest point is 255.5 metres,[2] by which measure it is the tallest

building in Tokyo. However, its building height is 247 metres, by
which measure it will be the second-tallest building in Tokyo after
Midtown Tower.[6]

The complex has a logo made of four black vertical bars forming a
letter "M" (and also resembling the " 門 " kanji of the Toranomon
name). It also has a mascot called Toranomon (トラのもん) inspired
by the Japanese manga character Doraemon.

History
There have been plans since 1946 to build a new arterial road
between Toranomon and Shimbashi as part of a loop road around
central Tokyo. The Toranomon segment was popularly referred to as
the "MacArthur Road" after General Douglas MacArthur, who led
the Allied liberation of Japan following World War II, making
reference to the proximity of the United States Embassy compound Location within Special wards of Tokyo
in nearby Akasaka. The plan remained unrealized for decades due to General information
the government's inability to expropriate the necessary prime real
