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.

    When shopping in Daikanyama, Tokyo, you definitely shouldn’t miss the stylish Forestgate Daikanyama! The architecture here is very distinctive, combining natural elements with a modern style. Surrounded by touches of greenery, the overall atmosphere feels relaxed and comfortable. Compared with the busy streets of central Tokyo, it offers an added sense of peace and ease.

    On this visit, I specifically made time to sit down at Blue Bottle Coffee. Blue Bottle Coffee has always been popular for its minimalist design and focus on coffee quality, and the interior is also very stylish, making it a great place to take a break!

    While shopping in Daikanyama, I happened to wander into Forestgate Daikanyama and discovered that Blue Bottle Coffee had opened here, so I stopped in for a break. The entire commercial complex features a blend of nature, greenery, and modern architecture. It doesn't feel crowded like a traditional shopping mall, but instead has a more relaxed and refined atmosphere. In addition to the coffee shop, it also has restaurants and lifestyle stores, making it a great place to take a break while shopping and experience Daikanyama's distinctive slower pace.
