SUNSHINE 60 BUILDING
Sunshine 60 Building (サンシャイン60ビル, Sanshain 60
Biru?) is a 60-story building in east Ikebukuro, Toshima,
Tokyo, Japan, situated at the end of Sunshine City. At the time of
its completion in 1978 it was the tallest building in East Asia, a
title it held until 1985. It was the tallest building in Japan until
the Tokyo
Metropolitan Government Building was completed in 1991.
The building contains offices, shops, hotels, an aquarium on the 10th
floor, and a planetarium equipped with the digital image system SKYMAX.
The building also houses Namco Namja Town, a kind of nostalgic indoor
themepark of awesomely tacky old-style restaurants, incomprehensible
games and a haunted house full of traditional Japanese monsters.
The building was erected over the site of the destroyed Sugamo Prison,
famously used to hold senior Japanese war criminals during the
Occupation, on the 23rd of December 1948, seven high ranking convicted
war criminals (including former Prime Minister Hideki Tojo) were
executed by hanging within the prison. In popular modern lore, the
area is rumoured to be haunted.
