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. Nihonbashi is a lively area with a mixture of both historical as well as modern elements, and it is where Nihonbashi Wakamatsu Building is located. Wakamatsu Building is in Nihonbashi-Honcho area where used to be 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. While the area is lined with well-established department stores, renouned boutiques and restaurants, that is also buttressed by a more everyday working-class shopping / eating-out area giving the district an overall pleasing balance.
