Yes, it is located in a high end neighborhood. It's kind of a center for foreign diplomats and what not around there - it has a high concentration of foreigners world-wide that live there which is probably why it is a popular spot for Japanese celebrities to live as well. (they can walk around more freely in a more foreign neighborhood where they aren't likely to be recognized.) I believe I mentioned on this forum a long time ago that I actually ran into Akanishi Jin of KAT-TUN on the street once. (back in 2006) I also have heard first hand stories that Namie shops all the time at the local super market - doesn't wear makeup or anything and has no security around her, she just shops normally. That always gave me a positive impression of her.

It's a freaking expensive store. I'll probably buy a candle or something, lol.
