Location of TOFROM YAESU

The Yaesu-Nihonbashi-Kyobashi (YNK*1) area, home to TOFROM YAESU, represents a city that fuses tradition and cutting-edge technology, and is at the forefront of an ever-evolving Tokyo. The area has a high concentration of railways within walking distance, providing exceptional transportation convenience to all locations, including major areas of Tokyo, regional cities, and international airports. TOFROM YAESU has potential as a prime office location, while its rich Edo-era culture, such as festivals, food, art, and manufacturing, lives on, with a unique foundation conducive to innovation.
In addition, TOFROM YAESU is located at the gateway to the YNK area, which is expected to be further developed under plans for the revitalization of the Nihonbashi River and the Tokyo Sky Corridor, as well as through ongoing initiatives such as the undergrounding of the Metropolitan Expressway, direct access from Tokyo Station to Haneda Airport via the Haneda Airport Access Line (tentatively named), and the Central Tokyo-Rinkai Subway concept to connect Tsukuba Express and Tokyo Station.

1. Supporting Workers for Better Well-being throughout the Entire Office Environment

In recent years, human resources strategy has become a major management issue for many companies. In this regard, well-being is an important concept, and the government’s Basic Policy on Economic and Fiscal Management and Reform 2024, which outlines the direction of national policy, includes the realization of a society with a high level of well-being in which everyone plays an active role as one of its medium to long-term visions. As such, well-being has now been identified as one of the priority issues in Japan’s overall growth strategy.
Research and case studies from the Tokyo Tatemono-initiated Well-being Lab., confirm that enhancing employee well-being is essential to promoting human capital management and health management, and that enhancing employee well-being leads to higher productivity, talent acquisition and retention. In addition, under the supervision of Yoshiki Ishikawa, an expert researcher in preventive medicine, we surveyed 10,000 businesspeople working in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and developed the Well-Being Score, a tool that easily measures their state of well-being by having them answer the 13 questions predetermined as useful based on the survey results and academic opinions. As a result, we identified 20 well-being enhancement factors that analyze which behaviors and conditions contribute to better well-being.
At TOFROM YAESU, we will implement services, functions, and spaces that satisfy the well-being enhancement factors and help workers attain better well-being, including “YAESU SKY LOUNGE” where workers can refresh themselves both mentally and physically, and “Wab.” that creates “health of sprit and body” and “connection with people and society.”

In today’s world, where companies and individuals value social connections and contributions to society, it is crucial that individuals have a diverse set of options and are able to live their lives vibrantly in their own way – i.e. to be in a state of well-being. We believe that enhancing personal well-being will lead to the growth of companies and expand into society as a whole. Starting with TOFROM YAESU, we will create just such a virtuous cycle throughout society.
