Tokyo Midtown Roppongi's little brother to Hibiya

Tokyo Midtown Hibiyase presents as the little brother of Tokyo Midtown Roppongi. Completed in March 2018, a stone's throw from Hibiya station, this 190,000 m² shopping center is the very latest complex labeled ''Tokyo Midtown'' to have opened in the Japanese capital. An infrastructure between 19th century architecture and modern aesthetics, which highlights the rich history of the Hibiya district.

 

An important diplomatic center under Meiji (1868-1912) with the Rokumeikan , a Western-style building that accommodated foreign diplomats passing through Japan, Hibiya quickly became a major cultural center in Tokyo in the middle of the 20th century . And whether in the field of theater or cinema , many infrastructures have been set up there to promote the living arts.

 

Tokyo Takarazuka Theater , Hibiya Movie Theater and Hibiya Public Hall ; these buildings then hosted the best contemporary games of the time. An advertisement that greatly helped the development of the district that we ended up nicknamed "the city of films and plays".

And for good reason, although the design of the " DancingTower " (name given to the Tokyo Midtown Hibiya tower representing two lovers embracing on a dance floor) derives from trends in current architecture, the cubic shapes at the bottom of the latter would be directly inspired of Rokumeikan aesthetics .

A way to pay homage to the district's past, which would actually be part of the project's desire to honor Japanese culture.

 

Indeed, the shopping center was built respecting two well-known precepts of Shintoism: elegance and respect for nature.

Two watchwords that we find in the design of Tokyo Midtown Hibiya, since the complex is accompanied by a small garden and terraces adorned with greenery.

Fashion, accessories, beauty, decoration stores , florists , booksellers , and even French pastries , there is absolutely something for everyone! A means of attracting a diverse clientele, which is also reflected in the choice of restaurants since they offer cuisines from all over the world.

 

Finally, note that the shopping center also has a cinema and several cafés offering an unobstructed view of the Imperial Palace.
