It looks like “EDION,” which had been under construction on the 2nd floor of LaLaport Koshien, will open on Friday, April 21.

Relocating from the Nishinomiya Minami Store
As we mentioned in a previous article, this new EDION is a relocated opening of the Nishinomiya Minami store.

For the opening, there will apparently be a special three-day event where customers who spend 3,000 yen or more can enter a drawing to win sweets. That would be the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd. It looks like it will end once supplies run out.
Finally
One feature of the Koshien store is that if you hold your smartphone over the electronic price tags installed inside the store (probably the ones showing the prices?), you can view product information, reviews, and more. It sounds like there will be lots of display items, including vacuum cleaners and hair dryers. They may also have some kind of shaved ice machine presentation. Wonder what that will be like.
