AEON Mall Okayama — Attraction in Okayama

I wasn’t planning to visit another AEON Mall. Having been to so many around the world — from the Philippines to Vietnam, and even ones in Chitose and Nagoya — they all started to blend together. Familiar layouts, similar shops… it just didn’t feel worth it anymore. But AEON Mall Okayama completely surprised me — in the best way.

Apparently, this is one of AEON’s flagship malls, and you can tell. From the moment I walked in, it felt different. The space is beautifully designed, both inside and out, and it actually feels modern, spacious, and elevated — not just another copy-paste mall.

There’s a cinema, a wide range of restaurants (including Chinese and Korean), and a thoughtful layout that makes it easy to spend hours here without feeling overwhelmed. The mix of food, fashion, and entertainment was on point.

What’s even more impressive is AEON’s legacy — from a humble shop over 200 years ago to this kind of scale? That’s not just retail; that’s history.

If you’re in Okayama and wondering what to do in the evening, don’t overlook this place. It’s not just a mall — it’s an experience...

This one though appears to have more variety. There are also 50 tax-free shops as well, good for foreigners like me. Food choices also seems to be better as well. I can see no problem spending a whole day here for my...
