Japan will always be on top of Filipinos’ top destinations around the world. Known for quality-made products, delicious food fares, and rich culture, the country has a lot to offer to tourists that we keep on coming back for more. But this time, urban dwellers who can’t find time to fly out and escape to this bustling, energetic, and colorful destination will be happy to find that an authentic Japanese shopping experience is now within accessible reach.


MITSUKOSHI BGC—the first Japanese-inspired mall in the Philippines—has officially launched this month! And there’s a lot to discover within the four-storey complex, which boasts of the very best of Japanese lifestyle. With the brand’s origins as a kimono store dating back from 350 years ago, it introduces not just distinct elements that Japan is known for, but also a curated lineup of the most coveted products you should try out for yourself!

For instance, fashion lovers will take delight in rows upon rows of pieces from two of Japan’s beloved fashion labels, SNIDEL and FRAY I.D. Perfect for the modern woman, their offerings highlight functionality and art in their design, with each thread making a true statement.


Japan is also known for their beauty, thus, some of their well-loved brands land a spot inside the mall. You’ll never run out of skincare and makeup holy grails from Shiseido, KANEBO, Waphyto, E STANDARD, LA CASTA, and more.
