Ginza Sony Park
Ginza Sony Park is a "park in the city" located at a corner of the Sukiyabashi intersection in Ginza, Tokyo. A park is fundamentally a place where new experiences emerge because people can freely engage with its undefined, open spaces. By designing with "open space" in mind, Ginza Sony Park becomes a public venue that visitors can use freely, fostering new "activities." This also inherits the concept of a "facility open to the city," which the Sony Building has long valued.
Ginza Sony Park, born from redefining the concept of a park in the city, continues to create new rhythms for the city and its people through open space and activity.
