Take a good look at its displays including neon clocks. During that time, the head of the Asakura household, Torajiro Asakura was a known politician having served as a chairperson of Shibuya Ward Assembly and Tokyo Prefectural Assembly. However, after World War II, the Asakura Family lost a substantial amount of their land and was forced to sell their principal residence as a payment for an inheritance tax (the residence has been preserved as an Important Cultural Property named former Asakura residence). Later, the Family was considering to begin a real estates business taking advantage of the land along the Kyu Yamate Dori, in which they were able to keep. However, the predecessor of the current Family head, Seiichiro Asakura and the present head, Tokudo Asakura met Fumihiko Maki, since they were all alumni of Keio University, in 1967 to set up a project titled “Daikanyama Condominium Project.” In the 1960's the site of Hillside Terrace was a strip of sloping forested land in a fashionable suburban area of Tokyo known as Daikanyama; on it were only a few wooden houses belonging to the Asakura family. As they saw Tokyo spreading outward and land values soaring, the owners decided they would need to develop their land in order to retain it. But they were not in a hurry and not looking for instant profits; rather they wanted to adapt the land gradually, to create a place where they could continue to live comfortably for generations. The owners invited our office to draw up a master plan for the development of residential and commercial space in several phases. The site was designated as a restricted residential zone with a 10-meter height limit and floor-area ratio of 150%. Nevertheless, it lay along a busy street connecting several important territories, and shops and restaurants at street level, though they required special zoning permission, seemed destined to succeed. Despite the changes in planning and construction of the various phases, several themes have remained consistent throughout the design. Our first concern has been to maintain an intimate scale for interior and exterior spaces throughout. Second, we have been interested in the interaction of facade and street space, understanding the sidewalk as a place of activity. The broad, varying paths, platforms, and stairs provided in this zone play no small part in giving Hillside Terrace the spacious character that Tokyo residents might associate with its Western name. Common pedestrian areas act as transition spaces to shops grouped around them. At the same time a concern for the privacy and individuality of single apartments on the upper levels is essential in preserving the character of the Daikanyama site. The various phases of the complex are unified by their attempt to synthesize modern construction with a more traditional Japanese planning strategy, one which respects the specific character and boundaries of the site as given. In this case we have been dealing with a rather historical piece of land - a small shrine perched on an ancient burial mound (kofun) in the site gives evidence of human habitation of this area as early as the seventh century, when Tokyo (then Edo) was no more than a small fishing village. Preserving the spirit of a place is almost implicit in the notion of incremental development, and it is much harder to achieve in building without this sense of change over time. Along Kyu Yamate Dori, in addition to Hillside Terrace drawn by Fumihiko Maki, there are a number of beautiful buildings designed by prominent architects; they include the Egyptian Embassy by Minoru Takeyama, Hillside Annex by Makoto Motokura, The Criterion Daikanyama by Shunmin Ko, Carato by Shoei Yoh, residential buildings by Tadao Ando, T-SITE by Klein Dytham and Speak for building by Shinzo Terui. The area along Kyu Yamate Dori in Daikanyama symbolizes one of the most beautiful cityscapes of Shibuya ward. There, a variety of unique buildings designed by prominent architects stand in harmony, but its forerunner and its model is Hillside Terrace as it has played a big role in establishing the current cityscape of Daikanyama. Enjoy strolling through the “Address Promenade.” And when you get tired, rest at its open café. High taste shops around the Hillside Terrace, the symbol of Kyu Yamate Avenue.

The architect, Fumihiko Maki, on the other hand, talks about his views as follows. Shibuya City Tourism Association Address: Shibuya Mark City 4F, 1-12-5 Dogenzaka Shibuya-ku Tokyo, 150-0043 Phone: 03-3462-8311 Printing Anthorized by Shibuya City The contents and information provided in this booklet is as of December 2014. Kengo Asakura, the younger brother of Tokudo Asakura looks back and talks about what Daikanyama was like and how it is now. In 1954, Daikanyama Station was tiny just like the one often seen in the countryside. It was 1969 when the construction of Hillside Terrace A and B were finished. Altogether Hillside Terrace consists of 14 separate buildings along Kyu Yamate Dori and took 30 years to complete. I heard that Kyu Yamate Dori was completed in 1919. It must have been surprising for the people at that time to see such a wide four-lane motorway with sidewalks. When we began planning for Hillside Terrace, there was a restriction in the area which said that no building could be higher than 10 meters. Later, it was changed to 20 meters. Still, the height restriction is still absolute, so the buildings and the street have been designed to hold a harmony and a balance. It is very rare to observe such a thing in Japan, but that actually has made Daikanyama different and special. There are several reasons why Hillside Terrace is loved by a number of people. Some say they like the openness to the city while others say that buildings are not overpowering because of their height restrictions. Also, some appreciate the fact that it was gradually developed. Since the area around Hillside Terrace has strict restrictions, there has not been any unnecessary developments for money making purposes. Instead, it still is a very connected community and residents and merchants have personal relationships. Such environmental factors are what support Daikanyama. The ancestor of the Asakura Family, the owner of Hillside Terrace, was known to be a samurai warrior who served the Takeda Family in Koshu. However, having given up his position as a samurai, he became a farmer and moved to Shibuya. By the end of Edo Period, the Family owned a water wheel utilizing Mita irrigation canal. In fact, the Family made fortune from the water wheel and the gained wealth was spent to buy up a large area of land in Shibuya. Hence, the Family became a powerful landowner and continued on expanding their wealth on rice farming.

Kengo Asakura, the younger brother of Tokudo Asakura looks back and talks about what Daikanyama was like and how it is now.
In 1954, Daikanyama Station was tiny just like the one often seen in the countryside. It was 1969 when the construction of Hillside Terrace A and B were finished. Altogether Hillside Terrace consists of 14 separate buildings along Kyu Yamate Dori and took 30 years to complete. I heard that Kyu Yamate Dori was completed in 1919. It must have been surprising for the people at that time to see such a
wide four-lane motorway with sidewalks. When we began planning for Hillside Terrace, there was a restriction in the area which said that no building could be higher than 10 meters. Later, it was changed to 20 meters. Still, the height restriction is still absolute, so the buildings and the street have been designed to hold a harmony and a balance. It is very rare to observe such a thing in Japan, but that actually has made Daikanyama different and special. There are several reasons why Hillside Terrace is loved by a number of people. Some say they like the openness to the city while others say that buildings are not overpowering because of their height restrictions. Also, some appreciate the fact that it was gradually developed. Since the area around Hillside Terrace has strict restrictions, there has not been any unnecessary developments for money making purposes. Instead, it still is a very connected community and residents and merchants have personal relationships. Such environmental factors are what support Daikanyama.
The ancestor of the Asakura Family, the owner of Hillside Terrace, was known to be a samurai warrior who served the Takeda Family in Koshu. However, having given up his position as a samurai, he became a farmer and moved to Shibuya. By the end of Edo Period, the Family owned a water wheel utilizing Mita irrigation canal. In fact, the Family made fortune from the water wheel and the gained wealth was spent to buy up a large area of land in Shibuya. Hence, the Family became a powerful landowner and continued on expanding their wealth on rice farming.
