NEW SHOP & ENVIRONMENT
ISETAN Shinjuku Store
（Page 44）
The fifth and the sixth story of Isetan Shinjuku Store were reborn.
The fifth floor deals furniture and bedclothes, and the sixth baby goods, kids clothing, and gifts. Both of floors now had workable traffic and circulation. Each floor has two escalators and the designers made the most of the surrounding areas upon concept of “park” as the event sites.
Behind the part areas there are “decor” areas where shoppers can experience sensual shopping, like drinking glasses of champagne at a bar. Showcases vary to make the most of merchandises and the other interior fixtures also.

The sale area is all white with floating translucent acrylic shelves in the center and the wall is covered with square packages and the wall reminds us of a room for bank boxes.

This meat shop opened in 1981 selling meat in the maturated conditioned. The new establishment faces the fist one across the road and it has three detached maturation storages for meat, so the shop itself has no showcase.
