Tokyo: 7 \u2013 11 October 2018<\/strong>

Shopping in Japan is invariably vibrant and vivacious, with eye-catching mall architecture, rooftop gardens, impeccably polite services and \u201conly one\u201d shops in certain malls. Our study trip of 40 participants \u2018looked east\u2019 this time and spent 4 fulfilling days experiencing a variety of Tokyo\u2019s shopping malls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of these, Ginza Six is central Tokyo\u2019s latest and biggest mall, opened just last year. Here there\u2019s luxurious shopping, food and cultural entertainment with six-star extravagance emanating from the high-end brand shops at every turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other flagship malls for Japanese fashion like Laforet and Shibuya 109, are just pulsating with cutting-edge designs for young ladies (and the young-at-heart).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its location at the base of Tokyo Skytree, Tokyo Solamachi caters to a high influx of local and foreign tourists offering exclusively Japanese cuisine and merchandise and also boasts of an aquarium and planetarium.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Roppongi Hills, the mall is differentiated by 4 separate themes offering their affluent shoppers \u201cone & only\u201d shops which can only be experienced here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set on expansive reclaimed land located outside Tokyo city centre, the super-regional Aeon Mall Makuhari Shintoshin comprises of 3 separate huge buildings catering for general merchandise, pet lovers and a hypermarket.
