It looks like 15 shops will be closing at LaLaport Koshien. Here’s a roundup based on the latest information about some store renovations and closures.
(This information was provided by Meg. Thank you!)
Here it is ↓
These closures are apparently part of a renewal.
A “Renewal Thanks! Sale” is being held until 7/29 (Sat).
We covered some of the sale details in the article below.

Floor map of stores closing by July 29
We made it easy to see at a glance which stores on the 1st and 2nd floors will be closing.
1st floor
| Store name | Genre |
|---|---|
| OPAQUE.CLIP(Closing July 23) | Women’s fashion |
| AZUL by moussy(Closing July 23) | Women’s fashion |
| Yogibo Store(Closing July 23) | Interior goods |
| CAMP7(Closing July 23) | Camping goods |
| INGNI(Relocating in early September) | Women’s fashion |
| PLIST(Closing July 28) | Fashion |
| A.J.D ACCESSORIES(Closing July 29) | Accessories |
| CIAOPANIC TYPY(Closing July 29) | Fashion |
| RASH(Closing July 30) | Bags |
INGNI isn’t closing, but will apparently reopen in a new location. Still, they’re all stores with English names, aren’t they?
2nd floor
| Store name | Genre |
|---|---|
| タワーミニ(Closing July 23) | CD shop |
| 212 KITCHEN STORE(Closing July 23) | Kitchen goods |
| Genki-kids(Closing July 23) | Children’s shoes |
| ASBee(Closing July 23) | Children’s shoes |
| コロンビアスポーツウェア(Closing July 23) | Sportswear |
| スタジオアリス(Closing July 23) | Services |
| 無印良品(Closing July 30) | MUJI |
| ガチャガチャの森(Relocating August 4) | Capsule toys |
A few fairly large stores may be coming in
Some of the closing and relocating stores are next to each other, so it feels like several larger spaces may be created.
Areas on the 1st floor that may be combined
If larger stores move in, there would be three spots on the 1st floor.
2nd floor
On the 2nd floor, a large space will open up where four neighboring stores, including Tower Mini, are located.
The MUJI space will also become vacant, so if larger stores move in, there would be two spots on the 2nd floor.
Summary
We tried estimating how many stores will ultimately open at LaLaport Koshien.
| Number of stores | |
|---|---|
| Stores closing | 15 |
| Vacant spaces from August onward(counting neighboring stores as one space) | 11 |
| New Minecraft store opening | 1 |
| New stores still unknown | 10 |
There are 15 stores closing this time, but if we count stores that have already closed and neighboring closing stores as a single space, it seems likely that at least 10 new stores could open.
We recently reported that a Minecraft goods store will also be opening, and more unique or noteworthy shops may continue to move in. We’ll let you know when we find out more.
