Founded in 1952, this department store is located close to Kumamoto Castle and near the Kumamoto City Tram stops Torichosuji and Suidocho. With the concept of “a local department store that proposes a high-quality lifestyle,” it values a carefully curated selection of goods rooted in the community and thoughtful hospitality.

Its sales floor area is among the largest in Japan, and the store is made up of four buildings: the Main Building, East Building, New-S Building, and WING Building. Another highlight is its wide range of categories, including fashion, cosmetics, household goods, and food.

Among them, the extensive selection of locally loved Kumamoto products is also popular with tourists. The lineup is wide-ranging, from processed foods and seasonings made with local Akaushi beef to sake from leading breweries and even instant ramen that lets you enjoy authentic flavors at home.

In addition, the satellite studio on the 1st floor of the Main Building hosts live public radio recordings on weekends, and a rooftop beer garden opens in summer, offering plenty of entertainment content and seasonal events.
