Tsutaya Electrics in Futako-Tamagawa

Tsutaya Electric store opened its doors on Sunday, May 3rd, 2015 in the Futako-Tamagawa Rise building. Dubbed as a "lifestyle shop", its layout gives a whole new experience to purchasing products such as mobiles, televisions and any other electronic devices. Oh yeah, and then there are books. An unimaginable number of them on display and for sale.

The atmosphere is open and relaxing, you can browse books, enjoy a cup of Starbucks Coffee, listen to music, see the latest computers and electronics on offer, and - of course - shop, shop, shop.

Impressively big and chic, its definitely worth a visit if you haven't been. Its become one of my favourite places to stop by for inspiration or to kill time when I'm in the area.

ACCESS

Located in the Rise Building at Futako-Tamagawa Station on both the Tokyu Den-en-toshi and Tokyu Oimachi Line.
