A retail haven made in Japan
When Japan’s high-end department store chain Mitsukoshi brought its brand to the Philippines, it reinvented itself into a shopping mall tailored to the needs and lifestyle of Filipinos, while preserving its signature Japanese touch in efficiency, services, and aesthetics.
Furniture
Nitori, Japan’s largest furniture and home-furnishing retailer, has opened its first flagship store in the Philippines at Mitsukoshi BGC.
Located at the third floor, Nitori’s product offerings embody the clean, minimalist aesthetic of Japanese design, blending strong visual appeal with sustainable and innovative construction.
For those looking to enhance their condo units, Nitori provides a variety of stylish accent and coffee tables that are small but impactful pieces that can readily add character to any room.
Textiles
Nitori also boasts a diverse selection of cushions, cushion covers, floor mats and curtains that come in a variety of colors, designs and patterns, to suit different tastes and preferences.
Storage
When it comes to finding additional storage solutions for your homes, both Nitori and Daiso Japan offer a wealth of options.
Nitori has a range of stylish and functional storage solutions, including sturdy steel racks, elegant bookshelves, and versatile wood racks. These pieces not only enhance the aesthetics of any room but also contribute to creating a neater space. Nitori’s collection features chic shoe racks and practical storage boxes made from wood, woven materials, or plastic, perfect for both display and organization.
Daiso Japan, meanwhile, caters to a broad spectrum of storage needs–from foldable and collapsible storage organizers to stackable plastic boxes with lids and compartments. Whether you need extra storage for your laundry room, kitchen, or home office, Daiso ensures you’ll find the right organizer to keep your space tidy and efficient.
Glassware
Discover a range of charming vases and cement pots adorned with succulents and small plants, adding a touch of greenery to your space. Daiso Japan complements this with an assortment of versatile flower vases and pots.
For more luxurious and refined options, Baccarat presents exquisite crystal vases, candle holders, and home decor items.
Books and magazines
Enthusiasts would be happy to know that the Fully Booked store in Mitsukoshi Mall, in partnership with Kinokuniya, devotes nearly half of its space to Japanese manga and books.
Homeware and little trinkets
For authentic Japanese trinkets, visit the Gashapon Bandai Official Shop on the second floor of Mitsukoshi Mall. Enjoy a unique experience picking mini collectibles, from adorable Sanrio characters to your favorite anime figures.
Groceries and Japanese snacks
Check out Daiso Japan for Japanese snacks and treats or satisfy your cravings at the Itadaki Food Court, which features a variety of Japanese restaurants. If you’d rather stay at home and cook, visit Mitsukoshi Fresh on the lower ground floor for fresh ingredients and imported flavorings, including Nakaki noodles, Hokkaido milk, and Kamada dashi soy sauce.
