COREDO MUROMACHI
Like Piccadilly Circus in London, Corso Street in Rome, and rue Saint-Honoré in Paris.
With the integration of modern elements and retaining the value of the traditional culture,
in Tokyo, we have found the city!
Through the visiting of COREDO MUROMACHI,
we have deeply felt its spirit and attitude!
Let's image!
Even fast-forwarding a hundred year, Tokyo has become the tech-dominated city,
there will be still people wearing Kimono and holding smartphone at the same time.
Also, people enjoying wine on the right while others enjoying Japanese sake on the left!
Perhaps, at the time,
COREDO will be surrounded by as many as tall buildings and expand to a larger scale.
