Tokyote Lifestyle

Tokyo has the most impressive, massive, glamorous, appealingly sexy, money making/spending, time/life consuming concept spaces you can find anywhere in the world.

Malls, gallerys or mere department stores such as Harrods look overdated when compared to the new all-in-one life style small cities concept spaces such as Roppongi Hills or Izumi Gardes.

In this real-estate multi-million complexes you can do and find anything - luxury apartments to rent, gyms, a vast array of shops, state of the art work offices, gardens, museums... you name it, it's there! It is as if you breeze along your everyday and also "every other" day needs without actually leaving one of these several thousands square meters complexes.


And after the smaller but none the less charming and tempting fashion statement like Omotesando Hills or the undisputed shiny Roppongi Hills, the same area of Roppongi now has yet another one of these real estate moguls which once again aims at turning Tokyo into the center of intellectual creativity for business and culture in Japan, Asia and the world*: "Tokyo Midtown".


...And it's exactly do this never ending capacity of renewing itself, also based on the competitive spirit that pushes forward the 23 differente autonomous administrative areas that Tokyo comprises that Tokyo IS the center of intellectual creativity for business and culture in Japan, and I daresay Asia.

*Hiromitsu Iwasa, head of Mitsui Real Estate, which developed Tokyo Midtown
