[ Nihonbashi Takashimaya Department store ] Reliable “Omote-nashi” department store in Tokyo

After or before Pokemon-center Tokyo DX, stop by this section too.

Opened in 1933, Nihonbashi-Takashimaya is a historic, well-established department store in Tokyo.
This label has strong trust by Japanese people for long time – Like Harrods in London, Bloomingdale’s in N.Y.
Let me share my favorite section of Nihonbashi Takashimaya for family.

Depa-chika

Depa-chika is paradise of FOOD!
Desserts, prepared food, lunch boxes, Japanese/Italian/French/Chinese foods, any kinds of foods are all here.
(Literally means, “Depa” = Department store, and “Chika” = Basement )

As there are no place to eat on basement floor, I recommend to go up to roof top terrace to enjoy if it’s good weather.

Roof top terrace

Roof top terrace of main Building is open for public.
Get depa-chika gourmet from basement floor to up here!

Nihonbashi area is one of my favorite area where old japan and new japan culture mixed nicely.
Starting this point, I hope you enjoy discovering your favorites.
