Omotesando Hills, Tokyo, Japan

Omotesando Hills, Tokyo, Japan

Architect: Tadao Ando
Developer: Mori Building

How does it fit into Tokyo?

The contrast of this internal street against the grand Omotesando Avenue is what Tokyo is all about: a constant transition from wide to narrow, monumental to intimate…

The web has much better images. One is not allowed to take photos inside and has to be very discreet to obtain a few shots. I went back today at night and the street lighting in Omotesando Avenue  is amazing but the rain and cold as well as my bag, umbrella and lack of tripod made it impossible to get decent shots. Tomorrow is my last day, and I’ll be taking the Shinkansen to Osaka!
