All Reviews of Takashimaya Times Square

I came to Takashimaya Times Square in Shinjuku at night. Quite a few people were gathered outside in the plaza, leisurely walking around and browsing, and the whole atmosphere was very relaxed.

The plaza at night didn't feel as rushed as it does during the day. Instead, it had a more leisurely feel, with many people chatting and taking walks while enjoying the lively atmosphere of Tokyo at night.

After exploring the streets of Shinjuku, it was nice to take a walk around here, look at the surrounding lights and passing crowds, and get a sense of everyday life in Tokyo at night.

If you want to try refined Japanese rice crackers, I highly recommend the upscale Akasaka shop Akasaka Kakiyama. Its rice crackers are delicate and bite-sized, with a crisp texture and elegant, subtle flavors that fully reflect the craftsmanship of top-quality Japanese confectionery. Each item comes in its own high-quality packaging, making it perfect for enjoying yourself or giving as a gift. There is a counter in the basement food hall of Shinjuku Takashimaya. Recommended for anyone who enjoys refined Japanese rice crackers!

Shinjuku Takashimaya has a classy atmosphere and the floors are well organized, making shopping here really comfortable. I had a steak and shrimp platter at one of the restaurants—the garlic rice was super flavorful, and the sides were great too. It was such a treat to enjoy a meal like this after shopping. I’d definitely come back!

There are so many things to buy here, and it's a great place to shop around. Plus, there's a tax-free benefit for foreigners.

Lots of shopping options and very convenient transportation.

You can spot this row of huge buildings as soon as you exit the south gate of the station. It's super convenient for shopping, and you don’t have to walk far to catch your train after.
