Fujii Daimaru Department Store

This smallish department store on Shijō-dōri is very popular with young locals who flock here to peruse the interesting selection of up-to-the-minute fashions, including the well-known Japanese store Beams. There's a branch of % Arabica coffee on the 1st floor and a good selection of food in the basement Tavelt supermarket, as well as organic groceries.
