Shopping mall in Singapore, surprised to find many malls when I relocated from Japan to Singapore. We have shopping malls in local area in Japan, but we don’ t find malls in Tokyo since high price for real estate. In Tokyo, we have department store so called 百貨店 (Hyakka-ten) like, Takashimaya, Isetan, Mitsukosi and so on.
Shopping mall in downtown has been facing difficulties to keep their business due to high real estate price, rapidly spread e-commerce and etc.
Aeon Himonya which is one of the shopping malls where neighbors love to go, and to link deeply daily peoples life.
Today, will share one of famous shopping mall in downtown Tokyo,
