Omotesando is Tokyo’s most prestigious shopping area, the quivalent of London’s Bond Street or Paris’ rue Faubourg St Honore. This is where all the most exclusive boutiques congregate, the most striking of which is the Tokyo branch of Prada. Designed by Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron, it’s unlike an store you’ve ever seen, with its distinctive bulbous windows and beautiful minimalist interior. Such is its architectural inventiveness that it’s become something of a place of pilgrimage for high-end retail freaks and aficionados of cutting edge architecture alike. Even if your wallet won’t stretch to the clothing inside, this is a place you’ll want to visit. And it looks even more dramatic at night, lit up internally, gently glowing against a manic Tokyo backdrop.
