"FIKA" is a Swedish term that refers to a coffee break, an important aspect of Swedish culture where individuals gather with friends, family, or colleagues to enjoy coffee and pastries, accompanied by conversations. The concept promotes relaxation and social interaction, allowing everyone to take a moment to pause and savor good times. Inspired by this culture, the Otemachi Forest has hosted various thematic events such as "Forest Roasted Sweet Potatoes," "Forest Snacks," and workshops focused on seasonal ingredients.
The upcoming "Forest Bakery" event marks a new chapter for FIKA, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in a rich tapestry of flavors while connecting with nature in urban Tokyo. Take a step back from the bustling city life and enjoy the serene atmosphere as you explore the delightful offerings of diverse bakeries.
The Otemachi Tower is a significant multifunctional complex directly connected to several subway lines and features commercial zones, office spaces, and the luxurious Aman Tokyo hotel. The adjacent Otemachi Forest encompasses about 3,600 square meters, providing a natural retreat filled with diverse flora and fauna, including endangered species. The forest plays a vital role in environmental conservation efforts, easing urban heat island effects and mitigating rainwater runoff during heavy downpours.
In March 2025, Otemachi Forest received the highest accolades from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under the "Excellent Green Space Preservation Plan Certification System," affirming its status as a prime urban green space. The commercial zone, OOTEMORI, features a serene indoor plaza that mimics outdoor elements, offering a peaceful refuge for local workers and visitors.
