The Tokyo Midtown Hibiya shopping and entertainment complex opened for business Thursday in the capital's arts district, connecting Japan's key business, fashion and political areas.

Developed by Mitsui Fudosan Co., the 35-story complex with four underground floors has a total store floor space of around 189,000 sq. meters and hosts some 60 stores and restaurants.

The first seven floors plus the first basement floor are occupied by shops, with the ninth to 34th floors reserved for corporate offices. It also has a 13-screen, 2,800-seat movie theater.
