AEON LakeTown — Attraction in Koshigaya

This place is 3 different malls combined... It's huge, it took us like one day from 11am to 8pm to take a look around! And if you want something just buy it on the spot, because if you think will buy it later, it'll be a looking walk back from wherever you happen to be. The Outlet is outdoors. Kaze and Mori are indoors. A lot of parking spaces.

You can literally spend 1 day here. It has 3 parts - Kaze, Mori and Outlet mall. Lots of famous restaurants can be found here and the AEON shopping (not just grocery) is also quite crazily huge.

So I suggest coming on a weekday to have a pleasant shopping/walking experience. It’s so conveniently connected to a station and accessible from Tokyo. Definitely...
