Lonely Planet review for Takashimaya
Takashimaya’s branch on New York’s Fifth Avenue is renowned for its cutting-edge Japanese-inspired interior, but the design of the Tokyo flagship store (1933) tips its pillbox hat to New York’s Gilded Age. There is floor after floor of international luxury brands, a Japanese craft and kimono section on the 7th floor and uniformed female elevator operators – once commonplace in Tokyo – who still announce each floor in high-pitched sing-song voices.
