Concierge.com's insider take:
Aoyama's Arts & Science epitomizes the Japanese approach to design, with a blend of understated elegance and functional luxury at all their stores (there are a total of four scattered throughout three blocks in the tony neighborhood alone). Over the Counter is an upscale provisions spot designed to look like an old-fashioned pharmacy, with luxe soaps and other staples stored behind a glass case, while the aptly named Shoes and Things, Men's Shop, and women's shop II are stocked with stylish leather brogues, crisp button-down shirts, and Japanese denim. Although their in-house lines of curios—from incense to leather wallets to socks—make perfect souvenirs, you'll be forgiven for picking up one of Arts & Science's slouchy leather satchels or gray seersucker jackets for yourself.—Rebecca Willa Davis
