Daikanyama T-Site

Printed words on paper reign in this unique concept complex spread across three interlinked buildings that are adorned with lattices of interlocking Ts (they stand for the Japanese retail chain Tsutaya). Inventory in this sleek emporium extends to English-language titles, art books, and a global array of glossy magazine including back issues. In-store conveniences include a Starbucks, as well as Anjin, a cocktail lounge upstairs finished in distressed wood floorboards low-slung, leather couches. Elsewhere in the complex are a stationery boutique and shops specialized in cameras and bespoke bicycles. This architectural landmark makes an excellent starting and meeting point for those exploring the trendy boutiques of Daikanyama, including the nearby Okura.
