The Jingu-mae 6-chome Area Redevelopment Project, led by Tokyu Real Estate Co., Ltd., is set to transform Tokyo’s core into a bustling cultural center. Situated at the junction of Omotesando and Meiji-dori, this expansive commercial complex is slated to open its doors in the spring of 2024. Spanning 12 stories with 2 basement levels, it will cover a 3,085 square meter (33,200 square foot) area, adjacent to the iconic Tokyu Plaza Omotesando Harajuku. Featuring a mix of shops, eateries, and inviting outdoor spaces adorned with greenery, the project aims to breathe new life into the neighborhood.
A Fresh Look engaging the Expanding Community
At its heart, the project aims to leverage the strategic location of the Omotesando and Meiji-dori intersection to create a vibrant community hub. Beyond mere connectivity, it prioritizes pedestrian-friendly design to cater to the community’s needs. Esteemed architect Akihisa Hirata will lend his expertise to shape the building’s exterior and rooftop, which are poised to become cultural landmarks enhancing the charm of Harajuku and Jingumae.
Unleashing Creativity for the Future of Tokyo’s Culture
Acknowledging the area’s rich cultural heritage, the project seeks to honor its past while embracing the future. For years, this locale has been a gathering place for creative minds to converge, freely express themselves, and cultivate unique cultural experiences. Building on this legacy, the project aims to foster a space for diverse creators and communities to come together and share their perspectives, thereby creating a lasting cultural impact beyond fleeting trends.
The Jingu-mae 6-chome Area Redevelopment Project stands as a testament to Tokyo’s vibrant spirit of diversity and creativity. Set to debut in the spring of 2024, it promises to offer a fresh array of consumer experiences while preserving the rich cultural tapestry of Harajuku and Jingumae.
