Known Arasaka Facilities

A list of all key facilities owned by the Arasaka Corporation.

Tokyo Headquarters
The Arasaka Corporation is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. The tower is black with dark, tinted glass and black steel beams are typical. Arasaka designers eschew stone or unpainted metal. The only deviation from black surfacing are the white, backlit Arasaka logo which appear near the tops of the tower. The Arasaka Tower dominates the Tokyo skyline and is easily recognizable, not from the shape or size, but for the giant backlit Arasaka Logo at the top. The lobby interior decorations has a tasteful blend of modern and contemporary Japanese artwork and sculpture. Most of the interior shows functional elegance, with true luxury appearing only in the upper executive areas. Arasaka regional offices around the world follow the same pattern with their buildings looking almost identical.

Night City American Headquarters
The Arasaka American Division is headquartered in Night City, NUSA and originally consisted of two skyscrapers before it was destroyed in 2023 by a Militech strike team. The new headquarters was rebuilt in 2070 after Arasaka was allowed to operate in the US again. The new tower consisted of one tall skyscraper that stands as the tallest structure in the Corpo Plaza. The building is black with dark tinted glass, near the top of the tower is the white backlit Arasaka logo. It's heavily guarded, heliports and AV-4 pads on the top, and with a restricted subterranean parking and loading area.

Main Honshu R&D installation
The main Arasaka Research and Development Installation, situated in the Northern part of Japan's main island of Honshu, is a secretive facility where only the most sensitive of research is carried out. This is a highly secretive installation where the five customized supercomputers containing the huge Arasaka database (thousands of MU) are located.

R&D Facilities
Besides the Main Honshu R&D facility, Arasaka also has smaller R&D facilities throughout Japan. The most noteworthy Arasaka R&D facilities can also be found in China and Kazakhstan, as well as the southern continent of Antarctica. Smaller R&D facilities are also located in South America, North America, Europe, Africa, and Serbia.

Hokkaido Training Camp
Located in the Northern island of Japan in the cold wilderness of the forested mountains of central Hokkaido is Arasaka's main troop training facility. There on a wide expanse of inhospitable land, several thousand potential guards, soldiers and agents go through tough courses in combat, security techniques, survival, infiltration, counter infiltration, espionage and counter espionage.

Training Facilities
Arasaka maintains other, more specialized training facilities in several areas around the world. The four month courses in specialized combat and security techniques are given at these schools. The Maritime Security and Combat school is in Yokohama, the Jungle Operations School is in Brazil, the Winter Operations Camp is in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, the Airport Security School is located near Narita Airport in Narita City, Chiba Prefecture, and the fledgling Space Operations School is at Crystal Palace, where it is run under strict watch by the ESA. Most Arasaka Towers maintain basic training facilities in or near their home cities, but those agents and troops who wish to advance within the company eventually ship out to the secretive Hokkaido camp.

Yokohama Weapons Factories
The Arasaka Weapons Factories is the largest industrial park located in Yokohama, Japan. The Arasaka Corporation purchased the 500 acre land during the the Crash of '94. The massive factory complex is located near the port in Tokyo Bay, and is used to supply a majority of Arasaka soldiers and troops.

Manufacturing Facilities
Other Arasaka Manufacturing facilities can be found all across Japan and South East Asia. The more noteworthy facilities can be found in Taiwan, New Philippines, and Antarctica. Multiple Arasaka Manufacturing facilities are seen in Europe and the Americas. Arasaka has several smaller factories for component and accessory manufacture around the world, principally in Indonesia and Southeast Asia, and factories under subsidiary names in many other countries.

The Arasaka Family Compound
The Arasaka Compound has been in the Arasaka family for many years and is situated on twenty acres of land, just outside of Tokyo. This impregnable fortress was built in the style of feudal Japan and acts as a headquarters for Saburo Arasaka and his family. The twenty acres is divided up by the main house, a gymnasium, Shinto shrine, a cherry grove garden and an Osprey landing pad. The facility is commanded by Shintaro Takayama, a close friend and loyal ally of Arasaka, and employs thirty live-in staff, all trained as both servants of the house and security guards. Only the most loyal, highly trusted and distinguished staff are placed here at the compound.

Arasaka and the Net
Arasaka is, by nature of its information base, heavily tied into the Net. All Arasaka offices and installations around the world communicate through the Net, and there is always a large amount of activity centered out of the corporation's data processing, storage and control centers. Arasaka also has some of the tightest Net security to be found anywhere in the world. The corporation is well known among netrunners for its liberal use of black ICE, much of which is developed in-house. Also, Arasaka uses more of its own netrunners for security purposes than almost any other corporation. All of this makes penetrating Arasaka computer systems a formidable task indeed.

Of special note is the security surrounding the northern Honshu R&D facility's database. The legend among netrunners is that the security programs and intrusion countermeasures on that particular subgrid have claimed the lives of more netrunners than any other single installation. It is not known if anyone has ever penetrated to the data core without authorization.

Benkai Island Training Facility
The Arasaka Benkei Island Training Facility is located on a small tropical island somewhere in the vicinity of Indonesia. Its exact location is kept a secret, for although it's used to train very few people at a time, it's very important to the corporation's covert operations. Because of this secrecy, access to Benkei Island is highly restricted. People and supplies are brought to the island by submarine.

Arasaka Sleep Facility

The Sleep Facility are designed for the cyber edgerunners of 2020, these can be rented out from anybody willing to rest till tomorrow.
