While browsing Tobu Department Store in Ikebukuro, I discovered there’s a Montbell inside too! It’s really convenient for people who like outdoor gear. There’s no need to make a special trip somewhere else—you can check out hiking, camping, and travel gear while shopping at the department store.

Montbell has a good variety of products, from jackets, down jackets, and hiking apparel to backpacks, hats, and all kinds of small outdoor items. A lot of people visit Montbell while traveling in Japan, and after seeing the products in person, it’s really hard to stop comparing them.

My favorite moment was looking down at Shonan Kaigan Park from the mountain. Compared with experiencing the waves up close by the sea, the view from above feels much more expansive, and you can take in the coastline, cityscape, and natural scenery all at once.

If you’re visiting the Shonan area, consider making time to head up to a higher vantage point and enjoy the view. Seeing the Shonan coast from a different angle reveals not only the romance of the seaside, but also unforgettable panoramic scenery!

Yodobashi Multimedia! The entire building is unbelievably huge, with everything from appliances, electronics, cameras, and phone accessories to household goods, beauty products, and toys. On your first visit, it’s easy to lose track of time while browsing.

What I like most is the huge variety of products, and you can compare many things all in one place. Whether it’s hair dryers, headphones, cameras, or all kinds of travel accessories, you can take your time choosing. It’s also very convenient for tourists, and you can check out the duty-free items while you’re there.
HULIC SQUARE FUKUOKA TENJIN

A large-scale mixed-use complex grandly opened in January 2025 in the heart of Tenjin, Fukuoka City’s premier downtown district. The 19-story building with three basement levels houses a wide range of facilities-including shops, restaurants, retail stores, offices, and a hotel-offering diverse ways to enjoy the space.

While shopping in Fukuoka Tenjin, I also stopped by to check out HULIC SQUARE FUKUOKA TENJIN! The entire building has a very modern look and is located in the Tenjin shopping district, surrounded by department stores, shops, and restaurants, so it’s easy to pass by while shopping.

This area really has the rhythm of downtown Fukuoka. The streets are lively without feeling overly crowded. After browsing the nearby malls, you can find a restaurant for a meal and then keep walking around and shopping. It’s a good choice for a half-day itinerary in Tenjin.

I especially like how you can take your time browsing around Tenjin, with everything from department stores to unique shops. When you get tired, you can find somewhere to rest and have a cup of coffee. You don’t need to pack your schedule too tightly to have a comfortable time.
