Inside Azabudai Hills Residence B: Mori Building’s Garden Tower in Tokyo

Inside Azabudai Hills Residence B: Mori Building’s Garden Tower in Tokyo

Azabudai Hills Residence B is a 64-story residential tower in Tokyo’s Minato Ward, built by Mori Building as part of a 24,000-square-meter mixed-use complex that opened in October 2025. The tower sits inside a landscaped garden, shares its ground floor with a full market and puts two subway stations within an eight-minute underground walk — a combination that’s rare even among Tokyo’s other luxury towers.

Azabudai Hills green space

Central Green: The garden at the center of Azabudai Hills

Most towers in central Tokyo trade green space for proximity — you get the trains and the restaurants and you get a view of your neighbor’s air conditioning unit. Mori Building built Residence B backwards from that formula. The landscape design came first and the tower was placed into it afterward, which is part of why the building doesn’t feel like it’s fighting the nature that surrounds it.

That ground is the Central Green: 6,000 square meters, anchored by a 1,200-square-meter lawn with shallow waterways running through it. There’s a working orchard with mandarins and blueberries that residents are actually encouraged to pick and an edible garden that runs regular planting days open to anyone in the building. It reads less like landscaping around a tower and more like a park the tower happens to sit inside.

Wellness amenities: Spa, fitness and preventive medicine

The green space earns its keep. A Nike-led running group meets on the lawn regularly, alongside regular yoga and Pilates sessions. Indoors, the wellness offering goes well beyond a standard gym:

  • A Health Consultation Room
  • Access to the Hills Spa
  • A wellness center operated through the neighboring Janu Tokyo hotel
  • An on-site branch of the Keio University Center for Preventive Medicine

Few residential buildings in Tokyo — or anywhere — pair a preventive-medicine clinic with a spa and a running club in the same development complex.

Building security and access

Residence B leans on hotel-style reassurance rather than visible security infrastructure. Access runs through auto-locking entry points, video intercoms and elevators that check which floors a resident is actually permitted to reach. Parcel lockers handle deliveries so packages aren’t sitting in hallways. The effect is a lobby that feels closer to a five-star hotel than a secure building.

Azabudai Hills Market

Azabudai Hills Market, shops and transit access

Walk the other direction from the Central Green and the complex shifts from residential to luxury commercial fast. The Azabudai Hills Market occupies 4,000 square meters on the ground floor, with a proper fishmonger, a butcher, a produce section and a deli counter for nights nobody feels like cooking. Around the market sit close to 150 shops and restaurants, an art gallery, a museum and,for families, the British School in Tokyo just a short walk away.

Underground passageways connect the whole complex to the subway, so getting from Roppongi-itchome Station to Kamiyacho Station — eight minutes apart on the Hibiya Line — doesn’t require stepping outside. Families get a second-floor park with playground equipment and an on-site nursery, a detail that matters more in daily life than it does in a brochure.

Serviced apartments at Azabudai Hills Residence B 

The serviced apartments occupy floors 13 to 18 and run on what the building calls a “suitcase-only move.” Kitchens arrive fully stocked with equipment and tableware and the Wi-Fi is live before move-in.

What comes with the apartment:

  • A private kitchen and washing machine, unlike a standard hotel room
  • A 24-hour bilingual front desk
  • Daily breakfast
  • Housekeeping twice a week

It’s built for someone landing in Tokyo on short notice and needing a functioning kitchen within a day or two, rather than spending the first week furniture shopping.

Azabudai Hills Residence B Lounge

Shared amenities: Lounge, guest rooms and skyline views

The building’s shared amenities function like extra rooms residents’ own apartments don’t have space for:

  • Lounge — large windows, built for casual socializing
  • Guest rooms — three available, so visiting family doesn’t end up on the sofa
  • Study rooms — quiet space for calls away from the apartment desk
  • Theater room — bookable for film nights or watching a match
  • Gym and kids’ room — round out the recreation offering

Higher floors bring Tokyo Tower, Roppongi Hills and, on clear days, Mount Fuji into view — the kind of skyline that makes it worth waking up in the early morning.

Unit sizes and floor plans

Units range from 33-square-meter studios up to four-bedroom layouts past 150 square meters, so the building isn’t built around a single type of tenant. A single professional relocating for work and a family of five can both find a floor plan here and both end up inside the same garden, a few minutes from the same market.

A day at Azabudai Hills Residence B

A work call from the study room mid-morning. A run around the Central Green at lunch. A stop at the fish counter on the way home. None of it requires a taxi or a train. Mori Building calls this the “Modern Urban Village,” and standing in the Central Green, the idea feels real.

The bottom line

Plenty of buildings in Tokyo can claim a decent gym or a good view. Fewer can claim an orchard downstairs and a fishmonger two floors below that. Azabudai Hills Residence B works because the garden and the market sit under the same roof as the apartments and residents can move between all three without it feeling like a commute.
