The store also has a wide clothing collection for men and women. You can find the store's branches in Hiroo, Minato and Haneda Airport as well.

When Louis Vuitton Omotesando was opened in 2003, it was the biggest of any of the luxury retailer's stores worldwide. This was in part due to the Japanese love for the brand; the ubiquitous logo is everywhere to be seen in Tokyo. The store is a staggering ten stories high and it was designed to visually simulate a stack of traditional Louis Vuitton trunks. As you would expect in a store of this scope, it stocks the entire Louis Vuitton range and is a definite port-of-call for any fans of the designer.

Another attraction in Mikimoto Ginza 2 is the 3rd floor lounge, where customers can try delicious pastries and sweets made by Hideo Yokota.
