Asahi Group Headquarter Building — Local services in Tokyo

🎥 VLOG REVIEW – THE GOLDEN FLAME OF TOKYO Hey guys! So today, I’m taking you to one of Tokyo’s most curious and iconic modern landmarks – the Asahi Beer Hall and its “Golden Flame” – officially known as the Asahi Flame.

You can’t miss it. Standing tall along the Sumida River in Asakusa, right next to the golden-glass Asahi Beer Tower, is a black cube building topped with a massive golden sculpture that looks… well, interpret it how you want! Some call it a flame of inspiration, others jokingly nickname it the “golden poop” – but hey, in Tokyo, even architectural humor becomes legendary.

This golden structure was designed by French designer Philippe Starck and was meant to symbolize the burning passion of the Asahi brand. Whether you find it majestic or hilarious, it’s guaranteed to grab your attention and leave an impression.

What I love is how it contrasts with the ultra-modern Tokyo Skytree just across the river. It’s a reminder that Tokyo embraces both elegance and eccentricity with pride.

You don’t need a ticket to admire it – just head over to the riverside near Asakusa Station, and enjoy the view from the Sumida River Walk or Azumabashi Bridge. It’s also beautiful at sunset when the golden surfaces reflect the sky.

If you’re looking for quirky photo ops, unique design, and something to spark conversation – the Asahi Flame delivers. And after snapping a pic, why not grab an Asahi draft at the nearby Asahi Beer Hall? 🍺

So there you have it – a flaming icon of creativity, controversy, and Tokyo charm. Add this to your must-see list, and tell me what you think it...

This area of Tokyo is widely considered to be the city’s main cultural draw. While the district is home to a number of smaller temples, the main attractions feature the majestic Senso-ji Temple and the surrounding Nakamise shopping block. In addition to these historical treasures, Asakusa is also located within a short distance of the Tokyo Sky Tree and the Asahi Beer Hall. If you’re going to be in the neighbourhood, you’d do well to check these two venues out as well! The Asahi Beer Hall is one of the best places to visit in Japan for...

You can enjoy the Flamme Dor restaurant in the iconic black and gold Asahi building or you can go to the Sky Lounge on the 22nd of the Asahi corporate headquarters building. The lounge has a great view of the Skytree and Senso Temple. The beer is reasonably priced and there is a fairly basic menu, nothing fancy here...
