On the way to Villa Soleil from Omotesando station are many luxurious boutiques, such as Cartier, Prada, and miu miu.

There is a small Shinto Shrine near Omotesando station.  This area is not just about shopping.

In the site is a sign reading Villa Soleil.

There is no common entrance for this apartment.  Each room has an entrance door on the ground floor.  The natural wooden door goes good with the green
Room #A includes all three floors and the garage in the photo above!

Some of the rooms were still under repair, so there aren’t photos of all rooms.  Sorry…

Understair storage.

Up the stairs…

Dining room, and the balcony connected.

Kitchen, with 4 cooking stoves, and a dish washer.

Living room.
Since there is a dining room, 33.6 sqm for a living room is pretty wide

The wooden handrail looks nice

Another floor up…

There is another apartment before the nose, with a similar height, so you may see/be seen by the residents.

Villa Soleil is in a rather recess location, with many apartments nearby, so there aren’t much to see.  Getting a view of the broad sky isn’t so bad, though

Have you visited Omotesando Hills in Tokyo?  If so, the architecture designed by Tadao Ando (安藤忠雄) must have caught you eyes.
Before this modern building was built, there was an apartment in this place.  The name of the apartment was Dojunkai Aoyama Apart (同潤会青山アパート), which was an old building completed in 1927.

This apartment is not completely gone.  Did you notice that the eastern edge of Omotesando Hills is not covered with glass?  This part is the reused Dojunkai Aoyama Apart.
The 2nd floor of this rebirthed Dojunkai is used as an art gallery.  It is a small gallery that exhibits modern arts, which goes very well with the stylish city of Omotesando.

Boutiques are of course attractive, but finding other charms of Omotesando is amusing too

Taro Okamoto (岡本 太郎) was a Japanese artist noted for his abstract and avant-garde paintings and sculpture.
He was known for the quote, “Art is Magic” and “Art is Explosion.”

He studied at Panthéon-Sorbonne in the 1930s, and made many great art works after WW2. He was a prolific artist and writer until his death in 1996, and has exerted considerable influence on Japanese society.

One of his most famous works is Tower of the Sun (太陽の塔), in the picture above.  This became the symbol of Expo ‘70, a World’s Fair held in Suita, Osaka, 1970. It shows the past (lower part), present (middle part), and future (the face) of the human race. It still stands in the center of the Expo Memorial Park.

Okamoto lived and had his atelier in Aoyama for 50 years, until he died at age 84.  The place where he lived is now used as his memorial museum.
The rooms and garden are left as it was when Okamoto lived there.  Arts are displayed, and there are documents by Okamoto which his wife preserved.

Taro Okamoto Memorial Museum is only a few minutes walk from Omotesando station.  How about dropping by after shopping?

The biggest event in October, especially for kids, should be Halloween.

One is going to Tokyo Disney Land : Halloween events are on from Sep.9 to Oct. 31.

If you are to enjoy Halloween in the urban area, there is a parade in Harajuku and Omotesando.

There are also special halloween menus in the commercial areas.
