+ You can't very well be in Tokyo this week and not notice that Tokyo Design Week is happening all around you. To keep up on what's happening at each event, check the official sites: Tokyo Designer's Week, 100% Design Tokyo, DesignTide, and Design Touch. The festivities end on Monday, November 3 (a holiday in Japan).

+ If Tokyo Design Week isn't enough, or if you simply can't be in town this week, let the Design*Sponge "Tokyo Design Guide" point you to some of the best design and interior spots in the city.
