Welcome to Dover Street Market Ginza, Tokyo's fashion capital

A statement in its own right, Tokyo’s high-end fashion district in Ginza has made a significant mark in the fashion world. Dover Street Market, whilst a Japanese creation (Rei Kawakubo of Japanese fashion label Comme des Garçons), takes it name from the original, flagship store at Dover Street, London, UK. It is situated only a short five-minute walk from Ginza Station. Dover Street Market Ginza combines just the right media, where fine art meets fashion, with a varied selection of international designers and artists. Operating over six levels of floorspace with over 150 labels under the one roof, expect to find labels such as Comme des Garçons, London Space, Alexander Wang, Celine and Louis Vuitton. Not only can you experience this shopping-meets-art experience, you can also enjoy a healthy meal on the seventh floor at Parisian Import Rose Bakery. It’s an unforgettable experience.
