Tokyo Midtown Hibiya has been designed to play a central role in neighborhood creation for international business, the arts and culture in the Hibiya area. The goal is to support the creation of new industries, while strengthening its function as a hub for artistic and cultural events in collaboration with Hibiya Park and theaters and cinemas in the vicinity. At Tokyo Midtown Hibiya, a variety of stage performances will be presented, including theater, dance, musicals and opera, as befits a center of art, culture and entertainment. The opening show will feature a special, one-night-only show produced by Amon Miyamoto.
