I suspect the same will slowly start to happen to Takashimaya, Odakyu etc. These stores are only suitable for older people who put a huge emphasis on customer service. Most of the staff in these department stores are over the age of 60 as well. Enjoy your early retirement!

i anticipate this notion that foreigners are the reason covid is in Japan is going to have some long-term impacts on Japan’s image as well as its economy.
