Omotesando Hills

Omotesando Hills has been open to the public since February 2006. It was constructed as a project to remodel the Dojunkai Aoyama Apartment complex, which was developed as a part of the reconstruction project after the Great Kanto earthquake. It was designed by the architect, Tadao Ando and its facade extends a quarter of the length of the Omotesando area, which spans from the Omotesando subway station to Meiji Shrine. The complex, with six stories aboveground and six underground, features a commercial section boasting approximately 100 shops, a residential section and a parking garage with capacity for 196 vehicles. In September 2009, an area for children, Kids-no-mori was established on the B2 floor of the main building. The area has private breastfeeding rooms and nappy change areas and provides such services as baby stroller rental services. The family friendly environment attracts many young people and families with small children, especially during weekends and holidays. It is a 2-minute walk from the A2 Exit of Omotesando Station on the Tokyo Metro Ginza, Chiyoda and Hanzomon Lines.
