Chuo-dori becomes a pedestrian paradise on weekends, transforming into one of Asia’s most exclusive shopping promenades.
Omotesando
Known as Tokyo’s Champs-Élysées, this tree-lined boulevard is famous for its architect-designed luxury boutiques. Dior Men, Issey Miyake, and Tod’s operate from buildings designed by Pritzker Prize winners including SANAA, Tadao Ando, and Toyo Ito. A masterclass in where fashion meets architecture.
