Azabudai Hills Garden Plaza B is part of a multi-level shopping and leisure complex in Toranomon, Minato City. Its shops and restaurants sit among striking curved architecture, indoor public spaces and green areas on upper levels. Look for public art, including works by Yoshitomo Nara and Olafur Eliasson, then take a break in the garden or stop at a café. The plaza connects with the wider Azabudai Hills complex, including galleries and teamLab Borderless. Navigation can take patience, so allow time to find your way between levels.
Architecture and public spaces
Garden Plaza B is one part of Azabudai Hills, a large development in Toranomon. The complex combines retail, dining, offices and exhibition spaces. Curved forms and planted areas give the buildings a different profile from the surrounding towers.
The plaza’s layout spans several levels and connects with other Garden and Tower Plazas. That layered design can make it hard to work out which way to go, especially when moving between indoor corridors and outdoor areas. Use the signs as you go, and give yourself time to find the next part of the complex.
Greenery and public art
Some of the planted spaces are on upper levels, so they are not always visible from inside the shopping galleries. Once outside, you can find walkways and garden areas set against the surrounding high-rises. The greenery creates a quieter place to pause amid the city noise.
Public art is part of the grounds. Works include pieces by Yoshitomo Nara and Olafur Eliasson. The unusual architecture and installations also give the plaza details to look for as you walk between its shops and shared spaces.
Shops, cafés and exhibitions
The plaza and wider Azabudai Hills complex bring together shops, cafés, restaurants and exhibition spaces. There is also an indoor courtyard, and the complex connects with teamLab Borderless. This makes Garden Plaza B a useful stop alongside other activities in Azabudai Hills.
Prices at the shops and restaurants are on the high side compared with districts such as Ueno. Seating is available outdoors, but there are fewer places to rest without buying something. If you are visiting on a weekend, allow extra time for dining, as queues can form.
