Nihonbashi is the heart of Japan's financial district and a preferred location of several large pharmaceutical companies. Wakamatsu building is located in the up-town area of Nihonbashi, offering an extremely desirable corporate address. Tokyo's main Mitsukoshi store and Takashimaya stores are within walking distance and together with newly opened shopping malls such as COREDO Muromachi and YUITO, also within three minutes walking distance from the building, the area has become more attractive than ever.
Contrary to its reputation of being a predominant financial district in Japan today, Nihonbashi brings a lot of history and culture to the area. Literally named “Japan Bridge” after the famous bridge in Nihonbashi from which all the distances in Japan are measured.
The Nihonbashi area has over the years developed as a center of goods as well as money-exchanging businesses and these days is the center of finance, economics, trade and logistics. Wakamatsu Building is in Nihonbashi-Honcho area, which was historically a trading area with a wealth of small medicine shops during Edo-era period. These days the area is one of the centers of the medical industry, containing the head-offices or branch-offices of many major medical firms. The building is located in a lively area with a mixture of both historical as well as modern elements. It is within walking distance from Mistukoshimae Station area, where the long established department store Nihonbashi Mistukoshi and the new commercial facility Coredo Muromachi stand side by side, and the Kanda Station area, which is more of a modern Tokyo atmosphere.
