Around Omotesando Station (表参道駅) there are three walking spots on zorozoro, ranging from a Chinese restaurant to a long-established Japanese tea shop and a champagne and wine bar. All three list Omotesando Station as their nearest station and sit between a 6-minute and a 9-minute walk away, so you can string them together in a half-day walk. One street back from the main avenues the area turns into quiet lanes, so simply moving between the spots while browsing shops makes for a proper walk.
This guide covers 3 walking spots; 3 of them are an average 8-minute walk from the nearest station (6–9 min).

Start with a meal at China Chabo 8 Aoyama, a 6-minute walk from Omotesando Station, then head toward Minami-Aoyama 6-chome. Break for tea and Japanese sweets at Ippodo Tea Aoyama Store, 9 minutes on foot, and finish with a glass at Francis Champagne & Wine Bar, 8 minutes on foot — a route that connects Jingumae 5-chome to Minami-Aoyama 6-chome without backtracking. Taking it in the order meal, tea, bar keeps both the distance and the time of day in a natural sequence.
A Chinese restaurant on the first basement floor of Laporte Aoyama in Jingumae 5-chome, a 6-minute walk from Omotesando Station. It stands in the stretch that runs from Omotesando toward Shibuya, where one street in from the main road the quiet lanes begin. It works well when you have been looking around the shops and want to sit down for a proper meal. The address is 5-51-8 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Laporte Aoyama B1F.
The Aoyama shop of Ippodo, a long-established Japanese tea house founded in Kyoto in 1717 (Kyoho 2). The name Ippodo is said to have been granted in the late Edo period from the words "keep to one thing: tea," and the shop has dealt in sencha, gyokuro and matcha ever since. It sits along Kitazaka in Minami-Aoyama 6-chome, a 9-minute walk from Omotesando Station. Freshly brewed tea and Japanese sweets suit legs that have already done some walking.
A champagne and wine bar on a calm street in Minami-Aoyama 6-chome, an 8-minute walk from Omotesando Station. It is the kind of place you want as a closing stop after wandering Kottodori or the Omotesando area, with a quiet room to take a glass slowly. Drop in when you want to sit with the afterglow of the walk for a while.
All three spots are within a 10-minute walk of Omotesando Station, and they face a building basement, a sloping street and a lane set back from the main road rather than the avenue itself. Allow time for turning off into those side streets instead of walking straight along the main road, and the walk starts to feel like this part of Aoyama.
