Kyoto Takashimaya Shopping Center

Unclaimed

I don't typically receive shipping areas or department stores. But this building is a good start for those who have not been to Japanese department stores. From luxury brands all over the world to Nintendo store, it also boasts amazing eateries on multiple floors. At 630pm many of the cooked food vendors on lower level will put on "timed sale" with deep discounts! Just a feeding frenzy!

Happy to buy 2 keen brand shoes In fact one of them is limited edition with emmi My friend recommended that recipe brand show is excellent too, if you’re going for authentic shoe can consider this :)

This was an awesome shopping center to visit with a lot of store options. Bought some nice shoes, went to nuunu to check out the art, they had excellent coffee bar next to nuunu, and they have a huge Nintendo store! They also have a market inside where you can order food or desserts. Would come here again.

This is a large shopping area in the downtown part of Kyoto. There are many hi-end name brand boutiques (Tiffany, etc), as well as popular stores, like Nintendo. There’s also shopping alleys with local goods, merchants, and street foods. Definitely worth visiting… We enjoyed it!
