Along the waterfront of Minato Ward is the captivating headquarters of Fuji Television. On one side is the Nippon Broadcasting Company and in the other are Fuji TV’s offices. Among the connecting “sky corridors” are studios. The most attention-grabbing feature is the giant silver sphere weighing 1,350 tons. It required 9.5 hours to lift this observation deck into place. Fuji Media Holdings operates three TV channels, a news network plus a conglomerate of nearly 30 local stations across Japan.
