291

Oscar Wilde once said, “the whole of Japan is a pure invention.” If you’re a fan of beautiful Japan, but are still saving some money for the actual trip – head over to Tokyo Town at Pavilion Bukit Jalil for the next best thing.  The new precinct welcomes shoppers to celebrate all things Japanese, from food, retail, arts, and culture. Here’s all you can expect from the newly launched precinct.

An artistic layout

Stepping into Tokyo Town will transport you to the land of the rising sun, and shoppers will be greeted by two larger-than-life sumo sculptures at the entrance of Tokyo Town.

Embodying the sense of Tokyo with its intricate design and layout is a grand floating temple roof inspired and designed with kirizuma-zukuri or gable roof style, a fundamental architectural style in ancient Japan. It is enhanced by giant Japanese umbrellas or Wagasa designed by renowned Japanese artist Kotaro Nishibori, a fifth-generation successor of Hiyoshiya, a maker of Kyo-wagasa (Kyoto-style traditional umbrella).

The beautiful sakura trees are a great spot to take your OOTD shots for Instagram, and you will have the opportunity to hang up your Tanabata wishes by tying them with the ribbons on the branches of the trees.

May good fortune come to us all!

Be-you-tiful, for you.
