Introducing Tsukiji Eto Building, a precious local building.

[Guppie] July 14, 2009 12:00

The Tsukiji Eto Building (1-12-6 Tsukiji) is located near the NTT building where the historic site of the Tsukiji Small Theater Remains is located.

The building was decorated with Earthly Branches animal sculptures on the wall surrounding the side between the first and second floors of the building.

 

In the eastern corner of the building, there are nine three-stage bells that emit a cool sound at noon.

It is wrapped in a fence that resembles a flame, and in front of it there is a direction plate marked by Earthly Branches.

"1966" is displayed in the center.

 

Recently, there are many innocent buildings, but it is a "smart" building that looks like Tsukiji.
