FEATURE
‘ vertical promenade ’ style is also inspired by the original Sony Building ’ s structure , which had an open , spiralling interior that connected its eight aboveground floors , creating a seamless flow between levels .
Sony Co-founder ,
Akio Morita , was drawn to this design , as he felt that it connected to the culture of Gin-bura , a Japanese term that refers to strolling around Ginza . In the Sony Building – and now in Sony Ginza Park – the unique architecture allows for a sort of vertical
Gin-bura , where guests can ascend smoothly and seamlessly from the city streets without the use of stairs or an elevator .
Sony Park Exhibition 2025
The first programme concurrently happening with the grand opening is ‘ Sony Park Exhibition 2025 ’, a creative interactive programme produced together with six artists mainly from the Sony Music Group and the Sony Group ’ s six segments of business as the theme : video games , music , movies , entertainment technology , semiconductors and finance . This special programme unites artists , Sony ’ s technology and the unique themes of Ginza Sony Park .
Instead of housing traditional storefronts and retail spaces , Ginza Sony Park will host a series of rotating events and exhibitions , promising an entirely new experience with each visit . Tokyo is ever-changing . So is Ginza Sony Park . �
