Tokyo Shin-Marunouchi’s The Conran Shop

If you're an interior design enthusiast — especially one with a love for mid-century modern aesthetics — then The Conran Shop should absolutely be on your Tokyo itinerary. Founded by British designer Sir Terence Conran, the store has long been a destination for those who appreciate timeless design, elegant form, and thoughtful functionality.

Tokyo has a vibrant interior and product design scene, and The Conran Shop fits right in. Whether you're browsing out of curiosity or seriously hunting for your next forever piece, you'll find iconic items like the Eames House Bird, Louis Poulsen’s Panthella lamp, and Joe Colombo’s Boby Wagon — all effortlessly displayed in airy, beautifully merchandised showrooms. It’s the kind of store that feels like walking through someone’s ultra-stylish dream apartment.

Where to Visit

If you’re working with a tight schedule, your best bet is to stop by the Isetan Shinjuku branch. It’s conveniently located within one of Tokyo’s most well-known department stores and offers a nicely curated snapshot of what The Conran Shop is all about.

But if you want the full experience — the kind of experience that interior design lovers dream of — visit the flagship store inside the Shinjuku Park Tower. This original Tokyo location spans multiple levels and has that open, loft-like feel that makes you want to redecorate your entire home. Every corner is beautifully styled, and you’ll find yourself lingering longer than planned.

There are also newer branches at Azabudai Hills Tower Plaza, which has a fresh, upscale vibe, and at Shin-Marunouchi Building near Tokyo Station, which is smaller but features a refined selection perfect for browsing in between sightseeing or in addition to other shops in the area.

What to Expect Inside

While you might not be able to fit a leather sofa or iconic lighting fixture into your suitcase, The Conran Shop is still a fantastic place to pick up stylish, well-designed gifts or even something small for yourself. Check out their website for more, such as these adorable beer glasses. The product range strikes a balance between aspirational and accessible — think fragrant candles, minimalist glassware, home fragrances, coffee table books, and baby goods that feel special but not over-the-top.

One favorite item we spotted recently at the Tokyo Station location was a set of Graphpaper pack T-shirts — clean, soft, and perfectly cut. They also carry a small but tasteful selection of everyday clothing and accessories with that same attention to form and detail you'd expect from their home goods.

Why It’s Worth a Visit

The Conran Shop is one of those places where even if you don’t plan to buy anything, the experience of browsing is worth the stop. It’s a break from the noise of fast fashion and cluttered shops — a calming, curated space that reflects a very international side of Tokyo’s shopping culture.

And if you're a designer, design student, or just a casual admirer of beautiful things, it's the kind of store that leaves you inspired — even if all you take home is a photo of a perfect corner display or the memory of that one chair you’ll now spend a lifetime trying to find space for.

During the holiday season they also had many cute Christmas ornaments like these!
