Tamagawa Takashimaya Shopping Center

Used to visit the complex every week for a while during my college years as I taught English at the “Culture School” that was attached to the shopping center.  I was more used to going to Isetan in Shinjuku or Seibu in Shibuya and Tamagawa Takashimaya to me seemed to lack glamour at the time.

But now it is one very glamorous shopping destination with some of the most exclusive high-end brands in fashion.  Recently refurbished, it has a multi-purpose public space in which an event was taking place yesterday by this undoubtedly very glamorous violinist.
