Shibakawa Building (芝川ビル)

This 1927 building facade is inspired by Mayan and Incan architecture from Latin America. The building was once a residence to the Shibakawa family who owned and operated a Western goods import business and eventually a finishing school, which graduated some 3,000 young women between 1929–1943. Today the building retains much of its original charm and is open to the public for shopping and cultural events. Four floors are home to a number of boutiques, a bar, restaurant, cafe and rooftop terrace.
