Japan Edition Makes Its Debut in Shinjuku Flags

On September 11, 2026, the highly anticipated select shop Japan Edition will make its appearance in Shinjuku Flags, marking its first-ever in-building store in Japan. Owned and operated by Odakyu SC Development, the shop aims to showcase Japan's exquisite craftsmanship and traditional techniques while offering a contemporary shopping experience that transcends fashion, crafts, and lifestyle.

The new store is strategically located on the second floor of Shinjuku Flags, just a minute's walk from Shinjuku Station, making it an accessible destination for both locals and tourists. Inside, visitors will be greeted with a refined aesthetic reflecting traditional Japanese elements, such as noren (fabric dividers) and serene garden-like spaces, creating an authentic Wabi-Sabi ambiance that invites customers to immerse themselves in the spirit of Japan.

A Fresh Perspective on Craftsmanship

Japan Edition is renowned for reinterpreting Japan's long-standing craftsmanship and artistic philosophies through a modern lens. The store curates products made with traditional techniques, premium materials, and thoughtful handwork, positioning itself as a bridge connecting Japan's rich cultural heritage with contemporary global trends. This launch comes after successful openings in Kyoto and Ginza, expanding its reach in urban centers where diverse customers seek unique fashion and lifestyle products.

The concept of Japan Edition aligns perfectly with the Flags retail environment, which is known for its emphasis on music, fashion, and sports. The addition of Japan Edition to this innovative retail hub is expected to establish Shinjuku as a trendsetting location that continuously attracts diverse visitors, including international tourists and fashion-forward locals.

A Rising Trend Destination

In recent years, Flags has seen a significant increase in foot traffic from both domestic and international customers, with duty-free sales up approximately 30% compared to the previous year. The influx of international visitors and the growing interest in Japanese culture positions Shinjuku as a hotspot for contemporary trends. With Japan Edition's opening, the destination's appeal is set to further increase as a hub for discerning customers seeking quality and style.

Additionally, Japan Edition will be the only store in Shinjuku Flags to offer both Odakyu points and d-points, enhancing the shopping experience and providing incentive for return visits. The convenience coupled with high-quality shopping options is expected to make Japan Edition a favorite among shoppers.
