Exciting Renovations at Sony Stores Ginza and Fukuoka Tenjin Unveiled

On August 20, 2023, Sony Stores in Ginza and Fukuoka Tenjin will reopen following significant renovations aimed at creating spaces that foster new discoveries and meaningful interactions among visitors. This new vision introduces enhanced areas for both camera enthusiasts and gamers, combining cutting-edge technology with community engagement.

A New Home for Camera Lovers

At the Ginza location, the camera section has undergone a complete transformation. Customers can now explore a wide range of products, including the alpha™ digital cameras, various interchangeable lenses, and a variety of accessories. Notably, the section will feature a preview of 283 different items available for a hands-on experience, allowing both beginners and professional creators to try out gear before making a purchase. This elaborately curated space invites visitors to dive deep into the world of photography, encouraging them to interact with the products in unique ways.

The experience zones include areas such as 'Camera - Shoot & Feel -', allowing patrons to try out the alpha camera bodies, 'Lens - Tasting Bar -', which invites customers to test multiple lenses, and 'Accessory - Attach & Boost -', where they can experiment with microphones and lighting equipment. Additionally, they can bring their own cameras or lenses to combine with the store's offerings, ensuring a personalized shooting experience. Notably, customers can take home their shot data on their SD cards, enhancing the unique, customer-centric experience that Sony offers.

Helping Creators Thrive

To bolster creator activities, Sony is also introducing a new 'Shooting Studio' designed specifically for videographers and photographers. This studio is equipped with Cinema Line series cameras and light equipment, mirroring real-life shooting environments. Users can experiment with setup scenarios like interviews and portraits. The studio will also feature advanced Sony software for monitoring and controlling multiple camera setups, alongside an editing space for immediate feedback and color grading, allowing creators to actually work with their footage in real time.

Additionally, the 'Creative Base' space will be available for free to support various creative initiatives, such as workshops, exhibitions, or promotional events. Local creators are involved in the design of these spaces to better serve specific needs, which helps in creating a supportive community atmosphere.

At the Fukuoka Tenjin store, the new camera section redefines how products are experienced while actively engaging the creative community with local expertise guiding its offerings.

An Energized Space for Gamers

At the same time, the gaming area at the Sony Store Ginza also sees a substantial upgrade. The objective is to foster a vibrant gaming community where enthusiasts can come together. The upgraded gaming corner is designed not only for trying out games but also includes provisions for competitions and community events. Here, multiple INZONE™ gaming monitors will be set up, offering a state-of-the-art gaming experience. The inclusion of an impressive 85-inch monitor will allow not just players, but also spectators to enjoy gaming through a shared viewing experience.

The renovations at both locations are only the first steps, as Sony intends to gradually implement these exciting updates across all its stores, enhancing customer experiences nationwide.
