Perhaps you’ve heard of a city within a city. Akasaka Sacas is one of Tokyo’s newest and most exciting examples of this concept. It’s more than just a place. Akasaka Sacas is an experience.
Akasaka Sacas was born from the vision of Tokyo Broadcasting System TBS. Following the success of other TV networks like Fuji Television and TV Asahi, TBS decided to integrate its headquarters into a “city within a city.” The result is Akasaka Sacas. It’s a vibrant hub of entertainment, dining and culture.
Opened in 2008 Akasaka Sacas is directly connected to Akasaka Station on the Chiyoda Subway Line. Making it easily accessible from anywhere in Tokyo. From Shinjuku, a simple transfer at Kokkaigijido-mae Station puts you right at its doorstep.
Akasaka Sacas comprises several buildings. The TBS headquarters is the heart of the complex. The Biz Tower is a 39-story office building that houses shops and restaurants. Akasaka ACT Theater is a venue for world-class performances.
The Akasaka ACT Theater hosts a variety of entertainment. Plays, musicals and even kabuki grace its stage. Keep in mind that most performances are in Japanese.
Most of the action happens within Biz Tower. Here, you can explore a wide array of dining options. Restaurants offer cuisine from around the world. You can also shop at The Market Powered by TBS for unique souvenirs. For fans of Japanese television, the TBS shop is not to be missed.
Akasaka Sacas also blooms beautifully. The name “Akasaka Sacas” comes from the cherry blossoms. About 100 cherry trees bloom here from mid-February to late April. This makes it a popular spot for cherry blossom viewing.
Akasaka Sacas is a place where media, entertainment and everyday life converge. It is a testament to Tokyo’s innovative spirit. Whether you are seeking entertainment, a delicious meal or unique souvenirs, Akasaka Sacas offers something for everyone. So, step inside this city within a city. Discover the magic for yourself.
