Sony City, also known as the Sony Corporate Office Building, is a high-rise, cube-shaped building that is the global headquarters of Sony, located in Tokyo, Japan. It opened its doors to employees in 2006 and has been used as the headquarters of other companies owned by Sony based in Japan. Sony City, standing at a mere 100 meters tall, is not among the most towering buildings in Tokyo as the city itself is a hub for skyscrapers. However, the Council of Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat has accredited the building for its unique, modern design.{{Cite web |title=Sony City - The Skyscraper Center |url=https://www.skyscrapercenter.com/building/sony-city/26348 |access-date=2024-11-19 |website=www.skyscrapercenter.com}}{{Cite web |title=Sony Corporation info: |url=https://www.sony.com/en/SonyInfo/CorporateInfo/Subsidiaries/}}
