Uniqlo Tokyo Ginza is a global (largest) flagship store consisting twelve floors of men women and children fashion clothings.

After having explored 11 floors of clothings, you can sip a cup of coffee at the first ever Uniqlo coffee shop on 12/F. If you cannot find a seat to enjoy the coffee, then you still can explore the Uniqlo customisable lab (UTme!) where you can choose a cool T shirt from a huge collection. Well, how about buy some flowers for your loved ones at the Uniqlo Flower stall or have an aerial view over the huzzle buzzle Ginza shopping district.

When we walked in the front entrance, we immediately attracted to look at the phenomenal cool display installation. A long row of Uniqlo T shirts and shirts (I think Uniqlo will change the display items to socks, skirts or other merchandise periodically) were hung on an overhead rail mechanism and swayed vividly from side to side like a T shirt robot dancing happily on a bright lit glass enclosed stage. I suppose It was a cool design installed to welcome everyone coming into Uniqlo.

We began our shopping spree from the ground floor (everyday wears) and shopped our way up all the floors by the escalators. However if you have the patience to wait for the elevator hidden at the back of the store on each floor, then go for it. We did not take the elevator from the 12/F, cause it took so so long to wait in lines and it was in fact faster to go down in escalators. Need some exercise after a big shopping spree though.

You can choose from a humongous collection of pop culture to Disney character graphic design T shirts. They are all uniquely designed by the Uniqlo design team. I bought a black T shirt with a cool Mt. Fuji image printed on the front. Even though you don’t find any T shirt here, however you can still explore and appreciate this visually pleasing UT Me floor.

If you like a pattern or logo to be embroidered onto your newly bought T shirt or bags, then go up to level 5 and choose your preferred patterns for the embroidery order. But my friends told me that they need to return and pick up their shirts and bags the next day due to the overwhelming orders.

One more attractions in Uniglo: if you want to take a cool souvenir photo to take home, do not hesitate to go to the Photo Booth on 5/F. In order to use the Photo Booth, you need to spend 1500 yen or more on T shirts or sweat shirts. No sweat for sure you can spend 1500 yen on shirts. Anyway you can choose a collection of themed wallpaper and background for your photos. An indifferent souvenir to take home for memory.

We also stumbled into the Custom Order Salon on the 10/F. It is a distinctively personalized made to measure service offered at Ginza branch. We were running out of time at that point, maybe next time.

Last but not least bring your passport to the tax free counter to claim tax returns.
