2. Store Features
(1) Providing the "Joy of Choosing" with a Rich Variety of Products
We plan to carry long-established Kyoto products, popular items proven in other Kyoto Station stores, miscellaneous goods related to Kyoto crafts, trendy casual goods, seasonal limited items, and popular staple products from our various souvenir stores.
(2) Various Displays Using a 360-degree LED Lantern-style Signage
Based on the spirit of "fluidity and immutability" (Fueki Ryuko), as a mechanism to provide customers with enjoyment beyond shopping, we have adopted a combination of a lantern (immutable), which has long illuminated the eaves of shops, and a 360-degree LED vision (fluidity) that projects various images. Customers can enjoy displays utilizing this shape, such as videos experiencing Kyoto's four seasons and landscapes, videos of craft-making processes, and rankings/PR for popular products.
(3) Utilization of Kyoto Crafts in the Interior in Cooperation with Kyoto Museum of Crafts and Design (Kyoto Industry Promotion Center Inc.)
We incorporate actual Kyoto crafts into the interior as tools for customers to experience the "Kyoto-esque" atmosphere.
(Lanterns, Karakami sliding door paintings, Nishijin brocade art cloth)
