FULL TRANSCRIPT
Welcome to The Japan News. Today, we're going to show you some features of our brand new building.
The 200-meter-tall skyscraper stands out among the group of buildings between Tokyo Station and the Imperial Palace.
Inside the 33-story building, there are two multipurpose halls, one of which has 501 seats.
Now, back to The Japan News office. This is where we make our paper every day. The nationwide English daily newspaper covers a wide range of events happening in Japan and overseas. Recently, we introduced new pages called POP AND COOL and NIPPON SPORTS to help our readers keep up with Japan's pop culture and sports scenes. There're also new features on our Learning pages.
Some may be surprised, but our office building also has a medical clinic and a special exhibition area. The current exhibition is about the Yomiuri Giants baseball team.
On the rooftop, there are 150 solar power panels, generating power to save on electricity used in the building as well as to prepare for power outages.
On the 12th floor, we have an around-the-clock-convenience store and a book store as well as a garden.
In the cafeteria, we can pay for our meals with our company ID, so we don't have to worry about having an empty wallet!
If you are up for more relaxed and luxurious lunch or dinner break, we recommend the restaurant on the 32nd floor. On a sunny day, we have a great view of Tokyo. If you're lucky, you will get to see a clear view of Mt. Fuji.
Now, some parts of the Yomiuri building are open to the public. If you're interested, please visit our website to arrange a tour.
