Google Japan also outlined what visitors should expect at the store:
At the Google Store Omotesando, you can see and purchase a wide range of Google products and partner brands, including Google Pixel smartphones, Google Nest products, Google Fitbit devices, and accessories. You can also pick up products ordered online from the Google Store at the store. Furthermore, you can experience the latest AI technologies and see how Google products and services can support your daily life.
Store visitors can also receive troubleshooting assistance, help with initial setup, and on-site device repairs.
The company notes that this is just the first step of its “global journey,” suggesting that it might open physical stores in other markets down the line. Japan nevertheless makes sense as Google has long been a top-three player in the market. In fact, Counterpoint Research reported that Google passed Samsung to become the number-two player in Japan in February 2026.
