This building was designed by Toyo Ito and is an important piece of contemporary architecture. Take a look at the outstanding structure while enjoying the design shop on the ground level. On the 5th and 6th floor there are free art galleries and studio spaces with temporary exhibitions, as well as photos of the aftermath of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake.
