Designer Olivia von Halle shares with us her favourite city. See Tokyo through the eyes of this blonde beauty.
Why Tokyo:
For me, Tokyo is the coolest city in the world. The first time I visited I was with my husband for the weekend, we were living in Shanghai and so it was only a couple of hour’s flight. We had an absolute blast and both fell in love with it
Favourite sunbathing spot:
Hayama’s Isshiki Beach – it’s where the Emperor spends his winter holidays
Bar to while away the evenings:
Blue Moon
Place to get lost in:
Tokyo Hands is 10 floors of heaven – a department store selling everything from electronics to stationary and kimono accessories, it’s an amazing way to spend a few hours
Secret shop:
Everyone has a store in Japan, which is perfectly suited to them – it’s just a matter of finding it. Mine is GR8, in La Foret, Harajuku
Favourite culinary delight:
Okonomiyaki at Gonpachi, Minato
How many days to see it all:
You need at least four days, but once you’re there you’ll wish it were longer
Suggested travel partner:
Tokyo is great no matter how many of you go. I’ve been with my husband, on my own and recently with 40 friends for a wedding
