Discover more about Maison Hermès

Maison Hermès stands as a beacon of luxury and architectural innovation in Tokyo's Ginza district. Designed by renowned architect Renzo Piano, the building is a testament to Hermès' commitment to craftsmanship and artistry. Constructed between 1998 and 2001, the 15-story structure is a unique blend of retail space, offices, exhibition areas, and multimedia quarters. The building's most distinctive feature is its facade, composed of 13,000 custom-made glass blocks. These translucent blocks create a soft, diffused light, giving the building a lantern-like glow at night. The design also incorporates advanced earthquake-resistant technology, inspired by traditional Japanese temples, allowing the building to absorb seismic shocks. Inside, visitors can explore the Hermès boutique, showcasing the brand's exquisite leather goods, fashion, and accessories. The building also houses the Ginza Maison Hermès Le Forum, an art gallery on the 8th floor that hosts contemporary art exhibitions, often featuring French artists. This blend of retail and cultural space makes Maison Hermès a unique destination for both shoppers and art enthusiasts. A smaller exhibition space, Le Studio, screens foreign films on weekends.
