About Nippon Life Science Shijobuilding

Nippon Life Insurance Shijo Building will be a new landmark building in the Shijo-Karasuma area, the central business district of Kyoto! The building has excellent accessibility, being a 1-minute walk from Karasuma Station on the Hankyu Kyoto Line and a 3-minute walk from Shijo Station on the subway Karasuma Line! The location is very convenient for commuters and visitors to the area where business and commercial facilities are concentrated. The building is a state-of-the-art office building with eight floors above ground, one basement floor, and one tower floor, and is constructed of steel-framed and steel-reinforced concrete to withstand earthquakes. The building is also environmentally friendly. The entire building is equipped with high-efficiency LED lighting and is scheduled to receive a 4-star rating under the Building Energy Saving Performance Indication System (BELS). Major facilities are located on the rooftop to prepare for the risk of inundation due to flooding. Furthermore, as barrier-free measures, non-contact buttons are used for elevators, and barrier-free toilets are installed on each floor. Anti-viral materials are used for door lever handles and toilet handrails, and automatic faucets and automatic soap dispensers are provided to provide security and comfort to all building users. Thus, the Nippon Seimei Shijo Building will be completed in September 2025 (scheduled) as a new business hub that combines excellent accessibility, safety, comfort, and environmental friendliness!
