Google chief executive officer Sundar Pichai was in Tokyo on Nov 19 to inaugurate the relocation of the company’s Japanese head office to an expansive new complex in the trendy district of Shibuya.

Taking up the majority of the gleaming new 35-floor Shibuya Stream skyscraper, Google has put its name on the building and dedicated two floors to a newly launched Google for Startups Campus, which is its seventh in the world and second in Asia after Seoul.
