How to enjoy ?
To thoroughly explore a mall as large as Daimaru, you’ll need at least two hours. Daimaru is extremely well organised and it’s easy to go between the East and West buildings without getting lost. If your budget doesn’t allow you to splash out on high-end goods, you can still enjoy the B2 floor food market’s quality fruit, vegetables, meat, fish and other Japanese foodstuff.

For Children: The seventh floor of the West building is dedicated to children, offering both clothing and toys. Little girls will be happy to see toys featuring Japan’s most famous cat in the Hello Kitty store, which is next door to a toy store that will marvel even the smallest shoppers.
