Last update :

Located in Hirakata City, halfway between Osaka and Kyoto, this eight-story, one-basement shopping complex opened in 2016 with the theme of "A lifestyle department store that accompanies and adds colors to your daily life". Centered on the Tsutaya Bookstore, which sells books, there are stores such as knick-knacks, apparel, cosmetics, cafes, restaurants, and more.

The building looks like a stack of glass boxes that has quite a lot of impact and has a very photogenic appearance. Inside the store, there is also a great photogenic spot to take pictures. It is a bookshelf set up in the event space on the fourth floor of the Tsutaya Bookstore.
It is an atrium structure up to the fifth floor, and the walls are filled with books. At 7 meters high, the view is breathtaking.
A few years ago, when the word "photogenic" was not as common as it is now, this space, surrounded by bookshelves and books was completed in the pursuit of a comfortable space.  If you like books, this is a place you should visit at least once.

There is also a space for kids on the fifth floor. The floor is covered with artificial grass so that parents and children can enjoy reading books in a relaxed atmosphere. There is also a space that looks like a cave so that children can enjoy choosing books with their parents.

When you get hungry, head to the cafes and restaurants on the first, second, and eighth floor, each of the four restaurants on the eighth floor has its own terrace where you can dine. This is also the best night view spot in Hirakata, and you can enjoy a panoramic view of the city. It can be a great option for a picture-perfect spot.

    以販賣書籍的「蔦屋書店」為中心,同時有生活雜貨、服飾、化妝品、咖啡館、餐廳,還有小朋友圖書,一整天在裡面都不無聊,好玩,能動能靜。

    從外到內的設計擺設都很精緻,展現了一種新生活態度,也希望台灣能夠多一些這樣的大型商場書店。

  • Greeny NY

    玻璃帷幕現代化的外觀很搶眼,裏面的兩層樓書牆讓整個視覺效果很棒,也和餐飲咖啡廳做結合,在這裡可以享受一個悠閑的下午。
