Those familiar with the Ario Department Store that closed last year will be happy to hear that the building is reopening with new stores! The basement, 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 7th floors are now open, and the rest of the building will open from April. Tax free shopping will still be available (see stores for details).

Delicia, a chain supermarket of good quality, is located in the basement along with a few eating areas and souvenir shops. If you’re catching a bus from the Matsumoto Bus Terminal, you can do last minute shopping there!

On the 1st floor you’ll find the ALPICO ticket counter. Open 4:40-21:00/22:00-22:30, there you can purchase tickets both at the counter or via ticket machines. Credit cards are accepted. Their waiting area has 35 seats and supplies electric outlets and Wi-Fi access via ALPICO Free Wi-Fi. If you walk past the counter to the back of the waiting area, you’ll find an entrance to the bus boarding platforms. Buses running to Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya as well as more local destinations depart from here.

The new shops will include beauty salons, massage parlors, and clothing and shoes stores.
The 3rd floor’s Avail and the 4th floors Shimamura are already open.
The 7th floor still consists of a 100 yen store and a variety of reasonably priced restaurants that include Japanese, Chinese, and Italian cuisines. If you’re really hungry you can have all-you-can-eat dumplings.
Hopefully the rooftop summer beer garden is re-opened as well!
