Aoyama abounds in so much style and beauty, it almost becomes a competition of what to do first.

 

Your eyes—and wallet—will be tempted by Japan’s coolest fashion boutiques (think Pleats Please and Comme des Garçons), your appetite will be piqued by Michelin-rated, modern kaiseki (multi-course Japanese meals) served at restaurants like Den, and the rest of your senses will snap while exploring the Nezu Museum and its Instagram-worthy garden.

 

Need further evidence that this suburb is Tokyo’s epicentre of chic? You’ll find it in Aoyama’s intimate Japanese tearooms, in its tucked-away bars creating custom cocktails, and via its luxe hotels offering personalised yoga classes.
