Roppongi Hills

Roppongi Hills
Roppongi Hills is a landmark "city within a city", a vast integrated complex that redefined urban living in Tokyo upon its 2003 opening. Its centrepiece is the 54-storey Mori Tower, a vertical hub of commerce and culture. The tower's upper floors house two major attractions: the Tokyo City View observatory for panoramic vistas and the Mori Art Museum, a leading venue for contemporary art. Beyond the tower, the complex unfolds with over 200 shops and restaurants, a cinema, the Grand Hyatt hotel, and the serene Mori Garden. Public art, including Louise Bourgeois’ iconic Maman spider sculpture, is integrated throughout the open spaces.

Shibuya 109

Shibuya 109

For a definitive look at Japanese youth fashion, head straight to Shibuya 109. Since its opening in 1979, this cylindrical landmark has become the epicentre of Tokyo's iconic 'gyaru' subculture, a style once defined by dyed hair, deep tans and dramatic makeup. Spread across ten floors, its roughly 120 boutiques offer a concentrated hit of the latest trends in clothing, accessories and cosmetics. While its roots are in a specific aesthetic, the mall continues to draw a fashion-forward crowd, including local and international celebrities, solidifying its status as a barometer of Shibuya's ever-evolving style.

Ginza

Ginza

Ginza is Tokyo's definitive luxury quarter, a district where history and high fashion seamlessly intersect. Its name, meaning "silver mint", harks back to its 17th-century origins, but today it is synonymous with global sophistication. The main thoroughfare, Chuo-dori, is lined with flagship stores for elite brands like Chanel, Hermès, and the iconic Japanese department store Wako. While the district is a paradise for label lovers, its appeal extends beyond shopping. The post-war architecture is now punctuated by modern complexes like Ginza Six, a multi-level destination of designer boutiques and dining. For a more local experience, the network of side streets reveals exclusive art galleries, intimate bistros, and traditional department stores like Mitsukoshi.

Harajuku

Harajuku

Harajuku is Tokyo’s nexus of youth culture and cutting-edge fashion, centred on the famously crowded Takeshita Street. This pedestrianised lane is a sensory overload of trendy boutiques, crepe stands and colourful street style. Just a short walk away, the tree-lined boulevard of Omotesando offers a more refined contrast, with its flagship designer stores and modernist architecture. The district is defined by its iconic department stores, which act as fashion incubators. Laforet Harajuku (1-11-6 Jingumae) is a multi-level epicentre of avant-garde brands and subcultures, while the cylindrical 109 Store (2-29-1 Dogenzaka) in nearby Shibuya is a legendary hub for bold, teen-oriented trends. Beyond shopping, Harajuku offers a peaceful retreat at the adjacent Meiji Jingu shrine and Yoyogi Park.

Akihabara

Akihabara

Welcome to Neon Land. Akihabara is the electronics capital of Japan and walking through its streets you can barely see in front of you due to the amount of flashing shop signs and video screens. Street stalls sell the latest high-tech computer devices, while huge electronic retailers flog televisions at duty-free prices. Head for the duty-free stores if you want to speak to English staff, and bring your passport with you to qualify for tax-exempt goods. Akky (1-12-1 Sotokanda) is one of the best shops for this. Come out of Akihabara station and look for the glaringly obvious Electric Town exit.
