Here’s the latest mega retailed in Shinjuku’s Kabukicho area, just opened as of October 2023. The entire building spans the area from the basement to the fourth floor, fully themed around the Edo period with a complete experience of Japanese culture through 'clothing, food, and drama'.

A highlight is the 'Kabukicho Theater' located in the basement. Equipped with modern facilities like large LED screens, the theater showcases daily performances of popular theater, featuring a two-part program of plays and dance shows by performers in vibrant traditional attire under the theme "Casual Enjoyment of Traditional Performing Arts". On days when popular theater is not scheduled, performances such as Japanese dance and rakugo are also staged, making it an unparalleled spot to experience traditional Japanese performing arts.

The building also houses a full smorgasbord of tasty eateries, featuring the best of Edo-period Japanese favorites like sushi, tempura, soba and eel, offered in a food hall setting. There's even a charcoal grill BBQ terrace that's equipped for rainy days and a café with a Showa-era retro-modern atmosphere featuring stained glass. The rental shop on-site not only offers a wide range of modern and traditional Japanese costumes and kimonos but also provides dressing and hairstyling services. Wearing these outfits during theater shows or while dining at the restaurants allows visitors to immerse themselves even more deeply in Japanese culture.
