‘Tis definitely the season for shopping as Mitsukoshi, the country’s first Japanese mall, finally opened its doors last November 18.
Located in one of the metro’s busiest commercial districts, the four-storey mall offers a much-welcome change of scenery for the people who frequent Bonifacio Global City for work and leisure.
Aside from its distinct Japanese design that melds together traditional and modern sensibilities, this new retail destination also features distinct areas dedicated to worthwhile pursuits for its shoppers and visitors:
- Fresh produce and imported delicacies in Mitsukoshi’s own-brand supermarket at the basement
- A self-care and beauty section highlighting natural and organic products at the ground floor
- Appetizing Japanese and international dining options at the second floor
- And soon, exciting Japanese entertainment and leisure outlets geared towards wellness and enjoyment at the third floor
The mall truly offers a myriad of possibilities to delight any shopper. However, I’d like to fill you in on the first two floors of Mitsukoshi, where its in-house outlets are located.
