Best shopping in Tokyo

By Chris Boyle

Tokyo is famous for its big department stores that stock the latest collections from both international and Japanese designers.

You can choose to shop in one of the magnificent world class shopping centers or along exclusive streets jampacked with boutiques – or why not do both.

GINZA

Ginzais the most exclusive and expensive shopping area in Japan where you will find high-end Japanese department stores including Mitsukoshi, Hankyu and Seibu, as well as art galleries and French-style cafes. Ginza is also home to the Sony building and includes a showroom where you can try out the latest products.

ROPPONGI HILLS

Roppongi Hills is much more than just a shopping complex. As well as housing over 200 shops, including Giorgio Armani, La Perla, and Louis Vuitton, there are art galleries, nine cinema screens, an observation deck with incredible views across the city and a wide range of restaurants.

OMOTESANDO HILLS

There are close to a hundred shops in this commercial center which boasts many flagship stores for fashion brands, including Dolce & Gabbana and Jimmy Choo. The fashion style, known as Omestando mode, is for refined and discerning individuals who are not constrained by the boundaries of style.
