AEON Mall Okayama provides the perfect setting for the exhilarating experience of visiting a Japanese mall. Occupying a modern building, the 300 shops that sell their wares over the mall’s nine levels bring a taste of Japan and the world to the very center of Okayama. The location is extremely convenient, right across from Okayama Station. Purchase something to eat on arrival or before departure, pick up last-minute souvenirs or dedicate a whole day to exploring every floor and corridor.
Wear comfortable shoes and enter through the ground-level doors to see the shops stretching out ahead. Despite the mind-boggling number of shops, the wide layout makes it easy to avoid being overwhelmed. Check out the latest trends from the Okayama region or elsewhere in Japan and Asia, from beauty products to clothing and more. Take a break on one of the couches set out for the convenience of customers.
Watch a movie in the on-site theater, which plays international as well as Japanese hits. Head to the first-floor food court, which opens early. Enjoy dining options on the sixth and seventh floors to try out a selection of local foods or European specialties. Alternatively, pick up groceries, including pre-made foods, at the expansive supermarket. Take snacks up to the Mediterranean-style courtyard on the seventh floor, a perfect place to relax after a full day of shopping.
AEON Mall Okayama is in the heart of the city, an 8-minute walk from nearby Okayama Station. Underground tunnels connect it to the closest JR station. Drive from Korakuen Garden in 10 minutes. Ample parking is available in on-site parking garages, which can be validated with qualifying purchases from the mall’s stores. There is also parking, for a fee, for bicycles and motorcycles.
Most stores are open daily by mid-morning and stay open until relatively late. The cinema and restaurants stay open later into the evening.
