Tokyu Hands announced on Oct. 1 that a new store will be opened in Kumamoto next year. The store will be Kyushu’s second Tokyu Hands (the first located in JR Hakata City) and will be located on the first floor of Tsuruya Department Store in Chuo-ku, Kumamoto city. Following the success of JR Hakata City, Tokyu Hands conducted market research by opening limited-term trial stores across Kyushu. The positive response during the testing period lead to the decision to open a permanent Tokyu Hands in Kumamoto. Source: Nishinippon Shimbun, Oct. 2 2012
