Japanese entertainment icon Takuya Kimura’s concrete haven in Tokyo is a sight to behold; it features a calming garden and iconic designs such as the B&B Italia 'Big Mama' Serie Up 2000 chair
Japanese singer-actor Takuya Kimura is one of the most iconic figures in the entertainment industry. Besides his charismatic on-screen presence and impeccable fashion style, the Asian entertainment icon also has a discerning taste for design, as proven by his striking abode in Japan.
Kimura is reportedly residing in Meguro—a special ward in Tokyo, Japan—with his wife, Japanese singer Shizuka Kudo and their daughters Cocomi and Kōki; the latter are also style stars, too, and frequently appear in fashion ad campaigns and magazine features in Japan. While the A-list couple is known to be notoriously tight-lipped and private about their lives off-camera, it’s been reported by Japanese news outlets that they spent nearly 1 billion yen to build the four-storey house in 2007.
