Join RetailDetail on a retailhunt to Japan
Update: our retailhunt has been postponed due to the corona virus outbreak. Subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed of new retailhunts.
Discover retail like you’ve never seen it before in Tokyo, the biggest and busiest city in the world. A confrontational and educational experience! After all, Japanese shoppers are ahead of us in the ‘fast & slow’ shopping trends that are rising to the forefront in Europe as well.
On the one hand, the Japanese are tech-loving ‘mobile first’ consumers, frantic urbanites served by unique convenience concepts in retail and on-the-go. Think robot restaurants, register-free convenience stores, augmented and virtual reality, artificial intelligence and the like.
On the other hand, those same consumers are demanding, have an eye for quality and are sensitive to timeless and pure design. Fashion, design, technology and gastronomy are the determining factors in sophisticated and connected store concepts.
Unsurprisingly, Japan is home to some ground-breaking retail groups that are currently conquering the world: Uniqlo, Muji, Rakuten, Fast Retailing, 7-Eleven… Simultaneously, luxury brands from the West are opening splendid flagship stores in major Japanese cities.
Try a unique mix and experience an amazing tour of discovery with RetailDetail, from May 16th to 23rd.
