Strut your stuff through designer boutiques and Cat Street Omotesando (表参道), Aoyama (青山) and Gaienmae (外苑前) are each both workplace and playground for the modern adult, complete with designer stores, stylish bars, cool restaurants and taxis waiting to take you anywhere you want to go. Omotesando—a grand avenue lined with maple trees leading up to Meiji-Jingu shrine (明治神宮)—is a catwalk for the cosmopolitan. Freeway 246 (affectionately called “ni-yon-roku” [“2-4-6” in Japanese]) is perpendicular to Omotesando and is lined with great restaurants, both casual and fancy.
