Surugadai Building Green Space

Walk southwards down Hongo Dori from JR Ochanomizu Station to reach the building, standing tall in the student town of Kanda Surugadai in Chiyoda, Tokyo, an area where old samurai residences once lined the streets in Edo period. Green space can be found not just around the ground level but at the lower rooftop where forest, park and garden sparks off its green.
Rich in green, this is "Surugadi Building Green Space".
Surugadai Green Space, with an area of 7,091m² and a green space ratio of 41%, has been working to preserve biodiversity with the aim of forming an ecological network with the Imperial Palace and other surrounding green spaces. In October 2023, Surugadai Green Space was certified as one of OECMs (Other Effective area-based Conservation Measures) by the Ministry of the Environment. OECM is a system in which the national government certifies "areas where biodiversity is preserved through private initiatives". With this certification, it is registered in the World Database on OECMs.

For Surugadai Building to merge with the surrounding community and prosper together, we promote:

• activities that energizes the area with the community
• activities that consider coexistence with the ecosystem
• Sustainable green space maintenance

as the basic principles. It is in our wish to enrich the local environment together with the community, connecting through "green", a precious find in the metropolitan area.
