February 19, Soho House Tokyo
Shibuya
The Culture of Modern Luxury
Held under the Chatham House Rule.
Participants may use the information shared, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of speakers or other participants may be disclosed.
One day.
A shared room.
Where culture is examined, not assumed.
Shibuya as signal.
A district where luxury is no longer declared, but lived.
Invitation-led.
A carefully composed room.
A global mix of practitioners gathers to examine Shibuya not simply as a place, but as gravity: how it pulls, influences, and redefines what modern luxury becomes.
Participating voices are primarily under 30, emerging leaders across disciplines, joined by a small number of seasoned practitioners.
A generational exchange.
Grounded in Tokyo.
Informed by the world.
Not passive spectatorship.
Perspective, exchange, and shared inquiry.

Venue
Soho House Tokyo
Founded in London in 1995 as a discreet refuge for creative minds, Soho House has grown into a global network grounded in culture and connection. Since April 2026, Soho House Tokyo continues this tradition from its home in Aoyama, one of the city’s most vital design districts.
Designed for connection and discretion, the House offers an environment where dialogue unfolds naturally, and relationships deepen over time.
Not a stage.
A room where velocity becomes conversation.
