When I arrived in Tokyo I thought, well, Omotesando, just another shopping street... As I'm not such a dedicated shopper (apart from sports clothes maybe), it just didn't get much of my attention. However, I need to admit, that there is much more to it than shopping and drinking coffee. The architecture on this avenue is quite amazing, and don't forget to wander around the side streets, where the atmosphere changes completely and you will instantly forget that you are in one of the largest cities of the world.

Tokyu Plaza mirrors create a "death ray" on the pavement outside. Depending on the time of day, the cave-like mirrors create a giant solar oven. It's quite intense. Great on sunny days in winter!
