Dior just opened a massive new shop called the Dior Bamboo Pavilion in Tokyo. It is located in a cool neighborhood called Daikanyama, which people often compare to Brooklyn because it has so many trendy cafes. This new building looks amazing because the outside is made to look like golden bamboo. It even has a big gold star on top, which was the lucky charm of the brand’s founder.
Inside, the store feels like a giant indoor forest. A famous flower artist named Azuma Makoto filled the space with plants and trees. As you walk through, you will see the latest clothes and bags designed by Jonathan Anderson. There is even a special room where you can get your favorite Dior bags customized just for you. The design mixes French style with Japanese art, using pretty paper ceilings and lanterns shaped like little handbags.
The experience does not stop at shopping. The outdoor area features a conceptual Zen garden by Seijun Nishihata. A tranquil pond holds glowing glass koi carp to delight the senses. Meanwhile, the brand collaborated with local stars like Takt Project and Sho Ota. These artists contributed unique furniture and textile installations to the gallery. Paper artist Ayumi Shibata also provided intricate works for the dining area.
Dior has loved Japan for a long time, starting way back in 1953. This new garden store is a way to celebrate that friendship while showing off beautiful art from local designers. It is much more than just a place to buy clothes; it is like walking through a dream garden. This spot is definitely the new must-see place for anyone visiting Tokyo this month.
However, starting March 12, the store will require a formal booking. Because of the high demand, reservations are already filling up very fast. You should check the official website soon to grab a spot. This ensures everyone gets to enjoy the quiet beauty of the garden. Do not miss your chance to see this golden landmark in person.
