Ginza Six is a luxury shopping complex located in the Ginza area of Tokyo, jointly developed by Mori Building Company, J. Front Retailing, Sumitomo Corporation and L Catterton Real Estate.[1][2] The name Ginza Six or G Six reflects the building address in Ginza 6-chome as well as the desire to provide an exceptional "six-star" shopping experience.[1]

History

Ginza Six was built on the location of the former Matsuzakaya department store, which was Ginza's first ever department store.[1] The complex was inaugurated on 17 April, 2017, in a ceremony attended by Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe, Governor of Tokyo Yuriko Koike, Chairman of LVMH Bernard Arnault, and President of J. Front Retailing Ryoichi Yamamoto, among others.[3][4][5] It is the largest retail space in Ginza.[1]

Architecture

The building has space for up to 241 stores, including flagship facilities for Fendi, Kenzo, Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen, Yves Saint Laurent and Van Cleef & Arpels.[2] It also contains six floors of office space (floors 7—12), 24 restaurants and cafes, a banquet hall, a 480-seater Noh theater and a 4,000 square-meter rooftop garden.[1][5][6] A terminal for tourist buses, a tourist information center, currency exchanges and duty exemption services cater to tourists.[5]

Ginza Six has an art program run by Fumio Nanjo of the Mori Art Museum. The complex focuses on contemporary Japanese art, in an attempt to "sp[eak] to the creativity associated with modern-day Japan rather than the traditional Japanese aesthetic."[7] The Central atrium artworks are a symbol of GINZA SIX and the inaugural exhibits included works by Yayoi Kusama and Patrick Blanc, among others.[8]
