Walking around Omotesando Avenue - Tokyo - 表参道 - 4K Ultra HD
Today’s “Walking Around” video will be all about Omotesando Avenue! Known by many as the Japanese version of the Champs-Élysées, Omotesando Avenue was in fact originally created in the Taisho Era (1912 – 1926) as the formal pathway to Emperor Meiji and his wife Empress Shoken temple also known as the Meiji Shrine.
Today things are really different and as stated earlier, Omotesando Avenue has been transformed into a more of a sophisticated shopping area than a religious one.
Brands like Chanel, Loewe, Louis Vuitton, Tod’s, Dior, Prada and even Apple are now the rulers in this avenue of luxury.
Is this avenue worth checking out? Well yes, while you may found most of these brands in many other cities around the world, Omotesando and its Zelkova tree-lined avenue make for a nice pleasant walk before reaching the Meiji Shrine and the wacky Harajuku area.
Finally, if you have been vastly disappointed by Asakusa cheap souvenir shops we strongly advise you to visit the Oriental Bazar located on the Avenue. Oriental Bazaar offers premium goods and souvenirs from Japan without breaking the bank! Looking for something weirder? Go and check the new Kiddy Land store ( Created in 1950 Kiddy Land is one of most famous toy establishments in Japan where you will find some of the coolest things that are only sold in Japan!

La vidéo Walking Around d'aujourd'hui sera consacrée à la découverte de avenue d'Omotesando. Considerée par tous comme les Champs-Elysee japonais, l’avenue Omotesando a en fait été créée durant l’ère Taisho (1912 - 1926) pour assurer une voie directe au temple de l’empereur Meiji et de sa femme l’impératrice Shoken, surtout connu sous le nom de temple Meiji.
De nos jours, les choses ont pris une toute autre tournure. En effet, l’aspect purement religieux pour lequel l’avenue Omotesandro a vu le jour a laissé sa place à une zone commerciale moderne.
Des marques comme Chanel, Loewe, Louis Vuitton, Tod’s, Dior, Prada, ou même Apple sont desormais les “empereurs” de cette avenue de luxe.
Est-ce que cette avenue vaut cependant le détour ? Absolument. Bien que vous pourriez aisément trouver toutes ses marques dans d’autres villes du monde, l’avenue Omotesandro ainsi que l’avenue Zelkova délimitée par ses arbres offrent une belle promenade avant d’atteindre ce fameux temple Meiji et le quartier farfelu d’Harajuku.
Et pour finir, si vous avez été deçu par les magasins de souvenir à petits prix d’Asakusa, nous vous recommandons fortement de faire un tour au bazar oriental situé sur l’avenue. Le bazar propose des produits de premier choix sans pour autant exploser votre budget ! Si vous recherchez des objets plus insolites, visitez donc le tout nouveau magasin Kiddy Land. Créé en 1950, Kiddy Land est specialisé dans la vente de jouets que vous ne trouverez exclusivement qu’au Japon.

Omotesandō, Tokyo
Omotesandō (表参道) is an avenue, subway station and neighborhood in the Minato and Shibuya wards in Tokyo stretching from Harajuku station, specifically, the foot of Takeshita Street, to Aoyama-dori where Omotesandō station can be found. Zelkova trees line both sides of the avenue. Around 100,000 cars drive down the main street daily.[citation needed]
Omotesandō was originally created as the frontal (表 Omote) approach (参道 Sandō) to Meiji Shrine, when the Shrine was dedicated in the Taishō era.
Today, Omotesandō is known as one of the foremost 'architectural showcase' streets in the world, featuring a multitude of fashion flagship stores within a short distance of each other. These include the Louis Vuitton store (Jun Aoki, 2002) Prada building (Herzog & de Meuron, 2003), Tod's (Toyo Ito, 2004), Dior (SANAA, 2004), Omotesandō Hills (Tadao Ando, 2005) and Gyre (MVRDV, 2007), amongst others.
It is an upscale shopping area featuring several international brand outlets, ranging from Louis Vuitton and Gucci to Gap, The Body Shop, Zara, and others. Omotesandō is also home to the Japanese toy store Kiddyland, a shopping center geared primarily toward young women, Laforet, Oriental Bazaar, and Gold's Gym. It is sometimes referred to as Tokyo's Champs-Élysées. Its latest development, Omotesandō Hills, opened in 2006. Omotesandō's side streets feature a range of trendy cafes, bars, and restaurants, as well as boutique stores specialising in everything from handbags to postcards to vintage glass bottles.

Harajuku
Harajuku (原宿 meadow lodging) About this sound listen (help·info) is the common name for the area around Harajuku Station on the Yamanote Line in the Shibuya ward of Tokyo, Japan.
Every Sunday, young people dressed in a variety of styles including gothic lolita, visual kei, and decora, as well as cosplayers spend the day in Harajuku socializing. The fashion styles of these youths rarely conform to one particular style and are usually a mesh of many. Most young people gather on Jingu Bridge, which is a pedestrian bridge that connects Harajuku to the neighboring Meiji Shrine area.

【Tokyo】
Tokyo, officially Tokyo Metropolis (東京都 Tōkyō-to), is one of the 47 prefectures of Japan. It has served as the Japanese capital since 1869, its urban area housing the Emperor of Japan and the Japanese government. Tokyo forms part of the Kantō region on the southeastern side of Japan's main island, Honshu, and includes the Izu Islands and Ogasawara Islands. Tokyo was formerly named Edo when Shōgun Tokugawa Ieyasu made the city his headquarters in 1603. It became the capital after Emperor Meiji moved his seat to the city from Kyoto in 1868; at that time Edo was renamed Tokyo. The Tokyo Metropolis formed in 1943 from the merger of the former Tokyo Prefecture (東京府 Tōkyō-fu) and the city of Tokyo (東京市 Tōkyō-shi). Tokyo is often referred to as a city but is officially known and governed as a metropolitan prefecture, which differs from and combines elements of a city and a prefecture, a characteristic unique to Tokyo.
