Sunshine 60
Encyclopedia : S : SU : SUN : Sunshine 60
is a 60-story building in east Ikebukuro, Toshima, Tokyo, Japan, situated at the end of Sunshine City. At the time of its completion in 1978 it was the tallest building in East Asia, a title it held until 1985. It was the tallest building in Japan until the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building was completed in 1991.The building contains offices, shops, hotels, an aquarium on the 10th floor, and a planetarium equipped with the digital image system SKYMAX. The building also houses Namco Nanja Town, a kind of nostalgic indoor 'themepark' of awesomely tacky old-style restaurants, incomprehensible games and a haunted house full of traditional Japanese monsters. The building was erected over the site of the destroyed Sugamo Prison, famously used to try senior Japanese war criminals during the Occupation. In popular modern lore, the area is rumored to be haunted.
