The Japanese Communist Party has moved from a converted cinema into a new 11-story building at the same site in Tokyo's Yoyogi district.
The JCP, which celebrated the 80th anniversary of its founding earlier this year, has been based at the same site since 1945.
The new building, just a few minutes from Yoyogi Station on the JR Yamanote Line, has a clinic on the second floor, a restaurant offering Japanese, Western and Chinese dishes on the ninth floor, and an observation deck on the top floor that commands views of Mount Fuji on a clear day.
