TOKYO (The Straits Times/ANN): The Japanese capital witnessed a spate of new launches this month as developers and retailers seek to capitalise on the penchant for spending as the city eases its way out of the shutdown from the Covid-19 pandemic.

Among these are at least two new malls, one in the Harajuku youth hub and another in the up-and-coming Toranomon business district, one new tourist attraction that is an ode to Japan's rich manga history, and even a new metro station.
