✨ Is ‘Toranomon Hills’ Confusing?

Let me start with the most important thing. Toranomon Hills is not a single building.

It’s a ‘complex city’ consisting of 4 massive towers: ‘Mori Tower’, ‘Business Tower’, ‘Station Tower’, ‘Glass Tower’

That’s why first-time visitors easily get lost trying to find their way. This guide will teach you how to perfectly conquer all 4 towers!

🐯 Toranomon Hills Mascot: ‘Toranomon’

The biggest reason to visit this place!

Toranomon Hills has a white cat-type robot resembling ‘Doraemon’ called ‘Toranomon (トラのもん)’.

It’s the official mascot born from combining the area name Toranomon (虎ノ門, meaning “Tiger’s Gate”) with ‘Doraemon’.

Since you can only meet ‘Toranomon’ at Toranomon Hills, Make sure to take photos with ‘Toranomon’ hidden throughout the complex!
