pixiv Inc. relocated its Tokyo headquarters from Sendagaya in Shibuya Ward to IT tower TOKYO at 3-28-13 Nishi-Ikebukuro in Toshima Ward, with operations starting the same day. The former Shibuya office ceased operations on Friday, October 23. The company cites business and organizational expansion as the reason. The new office includes a central lounge called Hiroba, named through an internal open call, plus a Focus Area.
The new space sits in a 27-floor mixed-use building directly connected to Ikebukuro Station, which opened in March and houses commercial tenants and multiple offices. Inside, pixiv adopted Activity Based Working, letting employees pick where to work by the day's tasks, with a Focus Area for solo concentration alongside regular work areas.
Ikebukuro is also where the Animate main store, holder of a Guinness World Records title as the world's largest anime shop, anchors the local anime and manga culture pixiv is now next to.
