Marunouchi Oazo Building

Shopping and eating right next to Tokyo Station

Peter Sidell   - 1 min read

Immediately by the Marunouchi North exit of Tokyo Station, Oazo is a stylish tower with a few floors of shops and restaurants. It's dominated by a four-floor Maruzen bookstore, selling thousands of books - including a wide range of English books and periodicals - and stationery, accessories, cards and prints, and original art in its galleries. On the first floor there are a handful of cafes and a couple of shops selling stylish menswear, while up on the fifth and sixth floors are some classy restaurants offering Japanese, Korean and Italian dining.

I came to Japan from Manchester, England in 2003, and have travelled a lot since then, around Japan and in Asia. When I'm not working, I write satire and perform stand-up comedy in and around Tokyo. Check YouTube for a taste.
