Sunshine 60
Sunshine 60 is 60-storey building in east Ikebukuro, situated at the end of Sunshine shopping street. At the time of its completion in 1978 it was the tallest building in Japan. The building contains offices, shops, hotels, an aquarium on the 10th floor, and a planetarium equipped with the digital image system SKYMAX. The building also houses Namco Nanja Town, a kind of nostalgic indoor 'themepark' of awesomely tacky old-style restaurants, incomprehensible games and a haunted house full of traditional Japanese monsters. The building was erected over the site of the destroyed Sugamo Prison, famously used to try senior Japanese war criminals during the Occupation. In popular modern lore, the area is rumored to be haunted.
