Tokyo

Tokyo has more Michelin-starred restaurants than Paris and more luxury retail square footage than any city except Dubai. Ginza is the world's most profitable retail district per square metre, 30% more profitable than No. 4 London's Knightsbridge; Omotesando is the most architecturally spectacular luxury boulevard. Tokyo's department store culture — Isetan, Mitsukoshi, Matsuya — is uniquely Japanese in its obsession with service excellence and product curation, with average customer satisfaction scores 25% higher than the global average.
