LED lights are carefully monitored to ensure the crops grow healthily. On this day, a flutist entertains guests during their lunch.

The Pasona building stands out in Chiyoda as its lined with greenery from top to bottom.

This cafe on the first floor incorporates both seating and a patch of farm for customers to enjoy during their break.

Crops are only grow in the open but also in these temperature controlled rooms.

Under different colored UV light, the same plants grow at different rates.

Employees are asked to help tend to the farm throughout their workday to create a strong sense of teamwork.

For those desiring a little greenery during their trip to Tokyo, Pasona O2 is a fascinating place to drink coffee and learn about developments in urban agriculture. Intended to open people's minds to how space can be used, this office integrates farming into its workplace. Open to the public free of charge, casually strolling through Pasona O2 is a nice break from the concrete jungle outside. This unique building is a sign of advancements in both technology and as well as a motion to change our outlook on the future of agriculture in a primarily urbanized world.
