A
very
old
school
department
store
that
deserves
its
place
in
the
history
of
Japanese
retailing.
It
has
a
long
history
and
manages
to
keep
the
traditional
format.
It
reminds
us
of
the
good
old
days
in
the
80s
when
Japan's
economy
was
at
its
peak.
In
its
haydays,
they
even
opened
a
branch
in
Hong
Kong!
This
department
store
is
nestled
in
between
Ueno
and
Okachimachi.
If
u
approach
it
from
the
famous
Ameyokocho,
it's
towards
the
end
of
it.
Let
no
others
tell
u
it's
an
old
mama
store
with
nothing
interesting
and
should
be
skipped.
On
the
contrary,
you
may
be
amazed
what
u
can
find
there.
They
still
manage
to
gather
some
rather
good
local
brands
of
clothing,
and
their
kitchenware
selections
are
fantastic,
too.
Do
look
at
and
ride
their
elevator.
It
must
be
some
of
the
oldest
in
Tokyo!
The
floorbos
indicated
by
a
turnstile!
I
thoroughly
enjoyed
my
visit
and
understand
a
bit
more
about
Japan.
