For me from Nagoya, it was a rule from my parents to buy gifts at Matsuzakaya. When I moved to Tokyo about 30 years ago, I was relieved that there was Matsuzakaya in Tokyo as well. However, I was worried that Ginza Matsuzakaya had been closing sales since April, so I checked it carefully.
Ginza Matsuzakaya opened a store in Ginza in 1924 and has been operating here for 88 years since then. However, this time the building has been rebuilt, and the store is closed until the end of June. After that, the current building seems to be demolished, but before the demolition of the building, I would like to look around every corner again.
According to the online survey, a new building will be completed by the end of 2016 and will open in 2017.
In addition, it seems that a new business model is being considered in the future, and it is not necessarily likely that the department store will resume as it is now.
Nagoya people are conservative in a sense.
Surprisingly, there is a temperament such as "I do it when I do it".
In the future, how will Ginza Matsuzakaya be reproduced?
I can't keep an eye on it.
