Overview
The 38 story JP Tower replaces the former central mail sorting facility of Japan Post . A large portion of the original five story low rise frontage of the Tokyo Central Post Office [ja ] , designed in 1931 by Tetsuro Yoshida , was preserved and redeveloped as the Kitte [ja ] retail and dining facility.[ 1] JP Tower tenants include offices of the Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group .
The basement floor connects directly to Tokyo Station , as well as other nearby buildings.
The Intermediatheque, located in the renovated Central Post Office building on the 2nd and 3rd floor, serves as a museum of academic culture and a venue for workshops and seminars open to the general public.[ 2]
The Intermediatheque was launched as an academic-industry collaborative project with the support of the University of Tokyo . The facility is jointly operated by Japan Post and The University Museum, The University of Tokyo . Many of the furnishings and exhibits on display dating back to the Imperial University era.
