Aoyama (青山) is one of the wealthiest neighborhoods of Tokyo, located in the northwest portion of Minato Ward. The area is well known for its international fashion houses, cafes and restaurants.

Kita-Aoyama (北青山) or “North Aoyama” refers to the area on the north side of Aoyama-dori (Aoyama Street) between the Akasaka Palace and Aoyama Gakuin University, while Minami-Aoyama (南青山) or “South Aoyama” refers to the area to the south of Aoyama-dori and extends to the northern edge of Roppongi, Azabu and Hiroo.

During the Edo period, Aoyama was home to various temples, shrines, and samurai residences. The name Aoyama derived from a samurai named Aoyama Tadanari who served the Tokugawa Shogunate and held his mansion in this area. Today, along with Shibuya and Harajuku, it is one of the most popular entertainment and shopping areas “Omotesandō”, for young people in Tokyo. It is well known for its fashion houses, restaurants, and shopping. Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium is in the North part of Aoyama.

Created in the 1930s, Toyosu is a manmade island that was built for housing, entertainment, and recreation. As of late 2018, it’s home to the world’s largest fish market, which is nearly double the size of its predecessor in Tsukiji.

Travelers can also enjoy shopping and relaxing at LaLaport Toyosu, an oceanside complex with refreshing views and plenty of wide-open space. Additional recreation in the area includes Toyosu Park, which has a children’s playground and lawn. At DIY barbecue space The Third Park you can grill up your favorite meats and veggies with all amenities provided on site.
