How to enjoy?
It’s possible to visit all of the stores in Vivre in about 2 hours. However, if you’re after an extended shopping experience, we recommend exploring Vivre and its next door neighbor Tenjin Core at the same time, as the two malls are connected on all floors except 7F. Vivre’s must-see is Hanjiro, as it offers great clothes for both men and women. Manga lovers should stop by the 6F, which sells not only books but a bunch of figurines too.

For Children: The 6F manga store is a big hit for kids– they can find editions of every famous manga series, plus weekly magazines, painting and drawing supplies and manga character figurines.

For Men: With three floors dedicated entirely to male fashions plus the menswear section at Hanjiro, Tenjin Vivre is a great shopping spot for the guys. You’ll find stylish Japanese clothing along with accessories like bags, belts, shoes, hats and caps.

For Women: The B2 level is the place to go for accessories and homewares, and you’ll find clothes, jewelry and shoes on 1F, 2F and 7F. If you’re looking for Japanese subculture clothing, go straight to the 8F which is full of gothic and lolita fashions to make your jaw drop!

For Tourists: For less traditional Japanese souvenirs, Vivre will supply you with everything from manga and figurines to lolita and cosplay costumes. These items represent modern subcultures in Japan and are sure to be unique reminders of your time in Japan.

What’s nearby? Tenjin Vivre connects to the similarly themed young fashion mall Tenjin Core, making it simple to navigate between the two malls.
