<p>Be sure to check the fire exit near the toilets to enjoy a view with Shibuya in thebackground</p>

At the GYRE complex on Omotesando-dori you'll find the MoMA Design Store, which offers something for everyone. As long as you like modern design, you are at the right place, and this is not just a store for buying, you can also treat it as museum. The store sells goods and products based on the art that can be found at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The closest station is Meiji-jingu-mae, but Harajuku station and Omotesando station are also close enough for you to walk there.

Interested in countries and their cultures all over the world. There's little I do not like and I try to experience as much as possible, write or film about it and share it with others.
