Solo Tokyo II

This entry will consist mainly of the urban built form and architecture of the Omotesando and Aoyama areas. Some of the classiest shopping in Tokyo is found in these areas. Enjoy having no words written by me to read. 

Omotesando Boulevard

Condomania, Condom-ania and not Condo-mania as my naive eyes first read

Uniqlo Technology

H&M building, I think most of the floors are empty though

BULGARI building - also MoMA Design Store

Cat Street. Tokyo, though surprisingly dense, still has quite human-scaled urban forms in this area. Reminded me of Yorkville

Toronto-esque

Stark contrast


Starbucks off in the district... Love the laneways

Dior

Chanel and Ralph Lauren Polo
The trees were an inspiration

Omotesando Hills - the pinnacle of luxury shopping in Tokyo

Its also the pinnacle of design, in my opinion




I was mesmerized by its strong statement lines

Can you blame me?



The vigor of the urban canopy adds to the expensiveness of the area



Bling Bling

Nearing Harajuku...
