Ikea Japan has now opened its first concept downtown store in Tokyo. Ikea Harajuku, which has been modelled on smaller compact inner city Ikea stores popping up in New York and Paris.
The new store is located adjacent to the Uniqlo Harajuku which opened about a week ago, occupying a two-storey, 2500sqm space. The company said in a statement: ‘One of the store’s key focuses will be sustainability and circular living, with a buyback service and sustainably sourced food.’
Besides featuring homewares products for small-living areas, the Ikea Harajuku features a Swedish Cafe, where customers can find a Swedish flatbread menu, and Swedish Combini which offers a wide range of snacks and beverages including cups of plant-based instant noodles.
