衰退?それとも進化?

decline? Or evolution?

I visited Omotesando Hills for the first time in about 10 years on a recent business trip to Tokyo.

I think there are many people who live in Tokyo and rarely go to the city area.

Sometimes when I go out, I make unexpected discoveries.

This is "Ralph Lauren Omotesando store" adjacent to Omotesando Hills.

This time I woke up a little early and had something to do here, so

When I parked my car in the Omotesando Hills parking lot before it opened,

Parking fees are surprisingly cheap!

It might be much cheaper than parking your car in the Fukuoka/Tenjin area.

Despite the unfortunate weather with a little rain, we arrived at our destination store.

Ralph's Cafe only has a few stores in Japan.

The atmosphere is like a super stylish cafe you would find in the suburbs of America.

It's close to Starbucks, but

If anything, it's closer to Starbucks Reserve.

However, the store staff are also wearing Ralph Lauren clothes, and the interior design is typical of Ralph Lauren.

Not for any particular purpose,

I just came here because I wanted to drink coffee in the morning.

Coffee is very delicious.

It stains on a slightly chilly rainy morning.

The store also sells goods, so

Of course, if you like Ralph Lauren,

Even those who like coffee should enjoy it.

You can also see RRL and Purple Label inside the Ralph Lauren store, so

Although this was actually one of my goals,

The brawler couldn't control his urge to rocket dash and gave up.

The location has been changed to Omotesando Hills.

The view of the atrium from the first basement floor is spectacular.

It really moves me no matter how many times I see it.

The shop at Omotesando Hills has changed significantly since it first opened.

The number of unfamiliar shops was also increasing.

What was interesting this time was "THE TOKYO."

A select shop that collects only Japanese brands.

SOPH and N Hollywood, which I often wore since I was young.

Isamu Katayama Backlash, which I still use, etc.

If you like clothes, I think you'll definitely enjoy this store.

There are so many things I want here that I feel like going bankrupt (lol)

The Omotesando area, which I had not visited for a long time,

There are so many old shops and new shops,

I think it seems like it hasn't changed, but it's always changing.

I used to avoid crowds wherever I went, so I avoided them.

Reaffirm the joy of unexpected discoveries.

Needless to say, on the stairs of Omotesando Hills,

Needless to say, our rowdy boy was having a great time.
