This sleek, multifunctional complex is home to fantastic exhibition spaces, lifestyle boutiques, and restaurants. The 1st-floor "Spiral Garden" is highly recommended for its accessible free exhibitions, including the brilliant SICF (Spiral Independent Creators Festival) Winners' Exhibition currently hosted in the main gallery. The architecture here is a standout, make sure to head to the rear of the space to experience the beautiful, sweeping spiral ramp. It’s one of Tokyo's most iconic structural walkways and makes for a fantastic cultural detour.
View on GoogleI love coming to this place. The first time I visited it was to see the Citizen watch exhibition. I look forward to the next time they have a wonderful exhibition.

View on GoogleWas able to fit this into my visit as it’s only small but I do appreciate the nuance approach to fabric art, I wish it was larger how ever. Calm quiet, a nice wind down from the outside of Tokyo
