Do they even need to “attract business” there? Seems to me that as a developed country they have plenty of business of their own. And there are subsidiaries of western companies there. Yahoo is pretty big, and Google has a large office in Roppongi Hills.

You mean in Shibuya? Because the Roppongi office (the older of the two) has been much smaller, and iirc it got closed permanently very recently.

It’s been a while since I visited. It wasn’t small, it occupied 2 whole floors IIRC. And I think Shibuya is a much better location for it.

[filoleg]

Yeah, the Shibuya office is significantly larger. IIRC Shibuya Stream building is around 35 floors, and Google occupies at least half of them.

They have Apple, Google, Goldman Sachs, Rakuten, and others. They have a very large economy of their own.

I don’t think Yahoo Japan is a subsidiary anymore.
