Matsuzakaya carries a variety of products for senior citizens in Japan. You can find merchandise made for elder ladies in the Madame Selection departments, as well as comfortable walking shoes in the ladies footwear shops. The building has 10 levels, ranging from B1 to 8F (the 2nd floor is split into two levels). Each level is packed with shops, making for a very ample selection of goods.

The building itself is also directly accessible from the Ginza Line, so it's a good place to go when the weather's overcast or rainy.

Marui: Fun Shopping for Everyone

What makes Marui special is that anyone, no matter the gender, can enjoy shopping here. Most shopping malls consist of shops that directly target females consumers, but Marui is a whole different story. In fact, floors 6, 7, and 8 are all dedicated to men's wear, accessories, and a slew of other shops that cater exclusively to men. Businessmen can come here to get the suits and formal wear they need for work; sports fanatics can stock up on athletic wear; and the average guy can come get anything else he might want.

But it doesn't stop at clothes, you can also find MUJI, franc franc, and other only-in-Japan miscellaneous goods shops at Marui, providing for lots of options to meet your shopping needs.
