This new destination and multi-shop retailer hit the streets in Daikanyama as of October 2023. Complete with iconic look and feel, the MAIN building is made to look like stacked wooden boxes thanks to the esteemed design of world-renowned architect Kengo Kuma. Both the exterior and interior of the complex are rich with greenery, aligning with Forestgate's theme of "encountering a circular society”, and making it a space that truly embodies this concept.

Step inside the MAIN building to find rental spaces and shared offices, as well as cafes and restaurants that span the B1 to second floors. Bread-lovers will delight in knowing there’s a boulangerie using select flour and homemade natural yeast, a California-origin specialty coffee shop, and a chocolatier dedicated to bean-to-bar production. Additionally, the area features select shops, eyewear and fragrances, offering a taste of Daikanyama's luxurious fashion and lifestyle.

The two-story wooden TENOHA building includes a cafe that serves dishes made with vegetables and herbs grown on its rooftop garden, a flower shop that sells non-standard flowers typically deemed unsellable, and a space for hosting markets and workshops. This building also features a library, enabling visitors to engage with sustainability through dining, shopping, and plenty of new experiences.
