Inside Mitsukoshi Department Store

Department stores in Japan are more than just a store. They are places to take a break at and enjoy a snack with coffee (ko-hee). In Matsuyama, Takashimaya is the most popular department store but Mitsukoshi is also a well respected store to visit. The upper floors are for shopping but the real treat is visiting the basement for the food shops and small bistro's that line the basement walls.
