We are tourists from Hong Kong. We have been in Japan so many times that I can't have an exact figure. Today was the WORST WORST experience we ever had. I personally had Japanese friends in Japan and Hong Kong.
I and my wife are fans of furniture and home decoration. We visited this shop at around 3:00pm today. We two walked around and finally sat on a sofa to take a rest. We sat there for around 10 mins and have a pretty quiet chat. Then a manager and a lady staff came over.
Manager: Do you have any questions about the sofa? I: No Manager: This is not a resting area. You have to leave.
We didn't know to react and the only reaction we had was SHOCK SHOCK SHOCK.
Firstly, He was very rude to jam into my private talk with my wife. Secondly, there was a Japanese lady dressed elegantly sitting there at least for 20 mins (we realised her sitting there when we walked in) reading a Japanese cartoon book. My simple reaction is to ask "Why me not her?" His poor English made me not able to argue with him. I left the shop and looked back from the escalator. This pretty Japanese was still sitting there and not being invited to leave.
I have to emphasis that we didn't disturb anyone in the shop. We just quietly sitting on the sofa. The manager discriminated us by our dress code. We as tourists wore only shorts and Tees. We had been in Ikea, high class European furniture shops, ...., they all welcome customers to sit and rest. From our experience, this shop is not classy but only stylish. We couldn't even find the name of the designers. The products are overpriced.
This Manager in fact ruined the rest of my holiday. My wife cried because of his attitude. We squared that we would not go to GYRE again for the...
Read moreI have been interested in Hay for a while - and was excited to see that there is a store in Tokyo, since there are not locations in the US.
Selection: wonderful mix of furniture, textiles, and diningware. I came to the store because of the mushroom portable lamps that I saw online. They were so cute in person and I decided to buy one!
Price: overall pretty pricy. However the lamp I bought was cheaper than the price I would have paid in the US, so overall I was pretty happy with the purchase. However - a lot of the items were more expensive than I expected. Also- they do not do tax free.
service: Perfectly pleasant! Offered to hold onto the items I had already selected while I kept shopping.
Also connected to Cibone which is also such a wonderful place to explore and get inspiration for home decor. Some clothing, jewelry, etc. very cute - could have spent 1.5...
Read moreSi eres fan del diseño escandinavo, la tienda de Hay en Tokio es una parada obligatoria. Ubicada estratégicamente en una zona privilegiada de la ciudad, en la planta baja de un edificio, su accesibilidad y su elegante entrada invitan a un recorrido que no decepciona.
Lo primero que llama la atención al entrar es el espacio: un local muy bonito y luminoso, perfectamente organizado para destacar cada pieza. La variedad de productos es asombrosa, con un inventario que va mucho más allá de lo que se podría esperar. Desde muebles de gran escala como sofás y mesas hasta pequeños artículos de decoración, textiles, utensilios de cocina y accesorios de papelería, la tienda es un reflejo completo del universo Hay. Es el lugar perfecto para encontrar desde un regalo especial hasta ese mueble icónico que llevas tiempo buscando.
Sin embargo, hay que tener en cuenta un detalle importante: los precios. Como es de esperar en una importación de diseño de alta calidad, los artículos tienen un costo superior al que se encuentra en Europa. Si bien la experiencia de compra y la inmensa variedad lo compensan, es un factor a considerar antes de visitar.
En resumen, Hay Tokyo es una tienda fantástica para sumergirse en el diseño nórdico. Su amplia variedad de productos, su ubicación de primera y su impecable decoración la convierten en un lugar digno de visitar. Simplemente, ve preparado para encontrar precios que reflejan su exclusividad y su...
