Omotesandō, Tokyo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Omotesandō (表参道?) is an avenue, subway station and neighbourhood in Tokyo stretching from Harajuku station to Aoyama-dori where Omotesandō station can be found. Zelkova trees line both sides of the avenue. Around one hundred thousand cars drive down the main street daily which serves as the main approach to Mejii Shrine.
It is known as an upscale shopping area featuring several international brand outlets, ranging from Louis Vuitton, Gucci etc to the more affordable The Body Shop, Zara, and others, and is sometimes referred to as "Tokyo's Champs-Élysées". Omotesandō is also home to the famous Japanese toy store Kiddyland and the latest development, Omotesandō Hills, which opened in 2006. Side-streets leading off Omotesandō feature a range of trendy cafes, bars and restaurants, as well as boutique stores specialising in everything from handbags to postcards to vintage glass bottles.
