The Property is located in “Aosando/Aoshindo” (indicating the alley that passes from Aoyama Dori street toJingumae and its vicinities in the Kita-Aoyama area), somewhat behind the Aoyama Dori street on thewestern side. The area has a relatively high concentration of retail facilities among locations not facing
major streets, and features competitive superiority. The Property is surrounded by many fashion brandstores that are purpose-driven and have strong ability to attract customers targeting core fans. Most
recently, some brands opened their first shops in Japan in this area, and businesses other than fashion
also opened shops there. The image of the location is relatively favorable, and there is a growing numberof customers seen around the area who seek originality or hope to enjoy town walking apart from thebustle of the main streets.

under the “THREE” brand it has created. The “THREE AOYAMA” housed in the property is the flagshipshop of the “THREE” brand, and operates spa and dining facilities along with a shop selling the products,
