Ginza Showroom
Opened on October 19th, 2020. There are about 40 exhibits. *The Ginza Showroom does not sell products. Only tax exemption procedures are available, and products will be delivered at a later date (products other than those on display are also available). We appreciate your understanding.
Okuno Building, constructed in 1932 and initially called "Ginza Apartment," was once a foremost exlcusive apartment house in Ginza. Its appearance, elevator, stairwell, and corridors remain preserved, and it is almost the only remaining, valuable collective house in Ginza. Renowned figures like the poet Yaso Saijo, the novelist Kan Kikuchi, Japan's first recording artist Chiyoko Sato, film director Kenji Mizoguchi, and actress Kinuyo Tanaka, among others, all resided and worked within the confines of the Ginza Apartment. This hub of creativity served as their living quarters and creative spaces, radiating cutting-edge cultural and artistic expressions of the era.
The building, in which many ateliers and galleries moved into, is widely known as an attraction for many fans.
When you visit the showroom, please, by all means, have a look at the oldest elevator installed in a private housing in Japan and visit the upper floors. Since it is manually operated, please close the inside and outside doors before you go down. We are looking forward to your visit.
*Please bring your passport to get a tax-free service.
