The Gate Tower Building, aka "Bee Hive" in Fukushima-ku, Osaka City, Japan. Owned by Suezawa Sangyo Co., Ltd., the building has been designed by Azusa Sekkei Co., Ltd. and built by Sato Kogyo Co., Ltd. in 1992. When the owner decided to rebuild his building, there was a plan that the exit of Hanshin expressway occupy this area. The owner did not want to sell his land to the Hanshin Expressway Company so it ended up with this road-combined building. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://maps.google.co.jp/maps?hl=ja&amp;t=k&amp;ll=34.697758,135.489042&amp;spn=0.005822,0.006427">Link to Google Maps</a>
