The Guerrilla stores' aim is to only be open for one year and to spend a minimal amount of money on the interiors. The stores are also to be located away from fashionable hubs and districts of a city. Comme des Garçons Guerrilla stores have been opened (and subsequently closed) in Reykjavik, Warsaw, Helsinki, Singapore, Stockholm and Athens, amongst others.

Staff members will do their best to ignore you, but that's no reason to stay away from one of Tokyo's funkiest retail spaces.
