Ario Ueda — Local services in Ueda

Ario is about ten or fifteen minutes walk from the center of town. It's a pretty well equipped place - Ito Yokado dominates the eastern end, and has a food hall, housewares department and pharmacy on the ground floor. Upstairs are toys and fashions, including a gigantic baby stuff department. Beyond that there's a bunch of clothes stores, a pretty good food court along the south side and various other shops. The western end contains Muji and Loft, both of which can be depended on for good quality products, plus an arcade, Kumazawa books, a huge sporting goods store and a pet store full of hugely expensive cats and dogs. Nojima mobile is there as well - they are a good indie shop who do their very best for you and they have an English speaker on staff; ask for Kobayashi. Ario lacks any electronics shops beyond mobiles or toasters, however, or media shops beyond books. If you want music, games or films or the equipment to enjoy them, look somewhere else. It could really do with a 100 Yen shop or two as well. There's also a multiscreen movie theater at the west end. It's pricey but the only game in town as far...

Went to see Avengers, very comfortable and clean place, japoneses people as always very educated and polite the prices for popcorn and soda is always spice all over the world ,and one thing in special , I stayed amazed how they stay in the chair for respecting all the people involved in the movies , they literally stayed until the end of the credits, like , for real, overall it was a fantastic experience, and would totally come...

It was my first time here in Ario Ueda and though small, this mall left a positive impression.

The friendly staff readily assisted me in English or through hand gestures. I really appreciated it.

Opting for a weekday lunch, the food court was pleasantly uncrowded, allowing me to savor some peaceful solo time.

I used the Ueda rental bicycle from UEDA station...
