True to its surroundings, the first Mandarin Oriental hotel in Japan dynamically blends the best of past and future architectural splendour. It is graced with spacious guest rooms, an oasis-like, fabulously well-appointed award-winning spa, and paradigm- setting bar and restaurants situated upon the uppermost floors of the soaring Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower. In addition, stately banquet and conference facilities reside within the Tower’s impressive atrium podium and adjacent Mitsui Main Building, an important cultural property. LOCATION: Overlooking the Mount Fuji to the west and TOKYO SKYTREE to the east, the opulent hotel’s central location has direct subway access via Mitsukoshi-mae Station on the Ginza and Hanzomon line to all major points of the city. In addition, Tokyo Station, the world- renowned Ginza shopping district, and the Tokyo Stock Exchange are all within 5–10 minutes’ walking distance. Also just a stone’s throw from Mandarin Oriental, Tokyo is the celebrated ‘Bridge of Japan’ from which Nihonbashi derives its name. At one time, this was the traditional ‘Kilometer Zero’ officially designating one’s arrival in the capital. Japan’s major financial, insurance and securities firms grew around this landmark, along with many traditional shops, shrines and galleries. Tokyo International Forum, a convention and performing arts centre, and -more- Page 2 another landmark itself, is only a five-minute drive away, while historical edifices such as the famous oldest department store in Japan, Nihombashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, and Bank of Japan, are just steps away from the hotel.

(Headquarters: Taito-ku, Tokyo; President: Akiyoshi Yamamura, hereafter “Tokyo Metro”) About "Crystal of Light" The work, a light sculpture consisting of 636 crystal glasses with special facets, was created by world-famous artist Tokujin Yoshioka. He used a world map to program the directions of lights in the work and designed to express the world with light. Innumerable glows emitted from the crystal glasses form a huge light, which conveys a wish for peace, that “the world be united as one with all lives on earth”, and gives off a radiance for the people in the city, becoming a new symbol of Ginza Station. Tokyo Metro public art installation Tokyo Metro is promoting the installation of public artworks in sync with station construction and renewal to create comfortable, enriched cultural spaces. Works will be installed at five stations on the Ginza Line (Kyobashi Station, Ginza Station, Toranomon Station, Aoyama 1-chome Station, and Gaienmae Station) where renewal construction is carried out. Shiseido and Ginza Shiseido was founded in Ginza in 1872 as Japan's first private Western-style pharmacy. Since then, we have continued to create new value together with the city of Ginza, which has always embraced and developed newness with willing, accepting attitude.

    http://www.kankyo.metro.tokyo.jp/en/index.html Introduction In the year 2000, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) replaced the Tokyo Metropolitan Pollution Prevention Ordinance with the Tokyo Metropolitan Environmental Security Ordinance, which covers countermeasures for vehicle pollution, chemical substances and climate change. The reason for the replacement was a shift in Tokyo’s environmental problems from industrial pollution mainly attributable to factories to urban and domestic pollution due to vehicle emissions and chemical substances, which may sometimes be related to climate change problems. In 2002, we started two programmes on which Tokyo’s present climate change strategy has been based: Tokyo Green Building Program for new buildings and Tokyo Carbon Reduction Reporting Program for existing large facilities. Since 2005, we have been promoting environmentally superior developments by introducing a mechanism to evaluate and disclose facilities’ efforts made in the programmes. In Tokyo’s Big Change - The 10-Year Plan developed in 2006, we set a goal of reducing citywide greenhouse gas emissions by 25% below 2000 levels by 2020 to make Tokyo a city with the least environmental impact in the world. Then in 2007, we announced the Tokyo Climate Change Strategy, which clarified our basic attitude toward tackling climate change for the next 10 years. Following a revision of the Tokyo Metropolitan Environmental Security Ordinance in 2008, we launched the Tokyo Cap-and-Trade Program for large facilities, the world’s first urban cap- and-trade scheme that covers office buildings as well, and the Carbon Reduction Reporting Program for small and medium facilities, committed to advancing our climate change strategy ever since then.

Bestor Department of Anthropology and East Asian Institute Columbia University Introduction As an anthropologist specializing in Japanese studies, I am often struck by the uncharacteristic willingness of economists to consider cultural and social factors in their analyses of Japan. Probably the economic system of no society is subject to as much scrutiny, analysis, and sheer speculation regarding its 'special character' as is Japan's. Put another way, emphasis on the special qualities of the Japanese economy suggests a recognition -- implicit or explicit -- that cultural values and social patterns condition economic systems. It remains an open question whether this recognition reflects empirical reality (e.g., perhaps the Japanese economic system is less autonomous than those in other societies) or is an artifact of interpretative conventions (e.g., perhaps both Western and Japanese observers are willing -- if at times antagonistic - partners in ascribing radical 'otherness' to the Japanese economy and therefore are more likely to accord explanatory power to factors that might otherwise be considered exogenous.) Recognition, however, that Japanese economic behavior and institutions are intertwined with and embedded within systems of cultural values and social structural relationships does not imply unanimity of opinion about the significance of this fact.
