Omotesando Hills

I’m not huge into luxury shopping. I’m more of a local boutiques and bargain shopper. So I couldn’t handle staying here too long. But of course if I had the money to just throw around on luxury items, this would be the place. They have almost every premium designer you can think of, it’s navigational friendly and easy to walk around because of the large spaces. There are a lot of cute upscale cafes and restaurants. The building is extremely modern and very beautiful. Again, not my thing — but I can see the appeal. This place was definitely where all the tourists were.

Great shopping place. Though it does lack the local Japanese brands, you can still find very cute stuff here. Stroller friendly since there are no steps.

Stopped into Omotesando Hills for some refreshments since we had spent a good chunk of the day exploring the city and shopping. Since the sign outside the building said there was a juice bar located on the 3^rd basement floor, we ventured inside to quench our thirst.
The architecture of the mall and the asymmetrical alignment of the building was visually interesting and left an impression, one that can’t be easily forgotten. Even going up the escalators, you can see the unusual angles.
We finally found Green Bar located next to or I guess, inside Urban Research. The corner bar served coffee and fresh blended juice, which was exactly what we needed.
I got the apple, carrot, ginger and celery blend while my friend got the green juice, which consisted of mustard spinach, apple and banana. Both drinks were ¥480 and it included pulp, so you’re getting all the nutrients too!
There’s a small seating area to rest and enjoy your drinks or food since they do have a small menu of sandwiches, bagels and soup. Very limited menu. It’s a cute space to rest at before you continue shopping or head off to your next destination.

We went here for a free classical concert (held on J.S. Bach’s birthday). The layout is kind of special. There’s a slope going through the ground to the top indoors and it’s kind of special. I’m a kind of, well, very budget-​conscious person, so this won’t be a place for me to shop, but enjoyed Ben&Jerry’s on the first floor :)

Nice place to eat dinner and wander around. Technically, it is a luxury high end shopping mall of sorts with stores like Jimmy Choo, Harry Winston, Dior, and Dolce & Gabbana, but they also have some Japanese stores and cute whimsical stores. Shopping wise I haven’t done a lot, but I like wandering around and the architecture of the place is pretty cool :)
The bottom floors have some unique luxury shops whereas the top floor is mostly focused on restaurants. I especially like the christmas illumination here. My favorite is the Yasai ya mei restaurant, which offers amazing food. The Jean Paul Hevin is a must go if you love chocolate and macaroons. They also have cafes down on the lower floors to provide a short shopping break if you need one.

A great spot for luxury shopping… a unique set-​up architecturally, there are a ton of spots to visit for clothes and unique items like cards or gadgets for the kitchen. There seems to be limited seating considering all the shops and people.
Definitely worth visiting.

Omotesando hills is a shopping area for the people with a thicker wallet so to speak. If you are aiming for luxurious brands or maybe to have a fancy lunch or dinner this is the place to go to. Although this place did not quite fit my budget or lifestyle it was still enjoyable to walk through and just have a look. The area is quite beautiful in a modern way and do have less expensive stores too to visit.
All in all a very nice place to visit, but is not a must-​go-​to place. Tokyo has so much to offer and this is just one of a thousan places (at least) to see!

I have lived in Osaka. I seldom come to Tokyo. But whenever I come up, I would like to drop in here. The time when I came here with a husband for the first time is that it was just before Dojyunkai apartment was dismantled. The apartment building stood in a long rectangular-​shaped site. The mossed old tasteful apartment reminded me of former times with nostalgia.
Sorry, get back to the topic. Now the new ferroconcrete building was built as Omotesando Hills. Its inside structure is a little complicate. The designer of this building is a world famous architect Mr. A. His architectures are splendid! But I often get lost in the buildings designed by him.
As for Omotesando Hills, fashionable shops dealing in clothes, accessories, shoes, restaurants gather. Just looking was enjoyable. I would like to have lunch or dinner here, but price was a little higher, so I gave it up.
I was very glad to see slight relics of Dojyunkai apartment remain. I like its retro atmosphere. Some events take place here. I would like to come here to take part in them someday.
