A press conference was held today to announce the construction of a new commercial facility being built by Tokyu Corporation at the intersection of Omotesando and Meiji Dori in Harajuku.
The name has been decided as "Harakado.
It will open next spring, at which time Tokyu Plaza Omotesando Harajuku, located diagonally in front of Harakado, will be renamed Omokado.
The way they named it, it sounds like McDonald's~.
One of the features of Harakado is that a public bath will be built in the basement.
The facility will also have tenants who are aware of the importance of transmitting culture from the creators.
It also seems to be conscious of the "Central Apartment" where various creators used to live, which was located in the place that is now Omokado. (It is a little different though 🤔)
Let's see how Tokyu's style of culture transmission base will look like!
