On December 15, 2009, Abercrombie & Fitch proudly opened its first flagship store in Asia, right in the heart of Tokyo’s Ginza district. Located on the iconic Chuo-dori, next to the Ferragamo flagship and the Matsuzakaya department store, this new destination has quickly become a landmark of its own.
Before the doors opened at 11 a.m., the line stretched several blocks all the way to Shimbashi station. Inside, the store spans 11 stunning floors, complete with a dramatic full-height mural and staircases illuminated from beneath—creating an atmosphere as visually striking as it is immersive.
The experience is unlike anything else in Japan. The flagship showcases not only Abercrombie’s iconic American style but also the spirit of diversity and inclusion. Walking through the store, you’ll find a mix of Japanese and international staff, many from multicultural backgrounds, all coming together to create a unique, vibrant environment. It’s a place where conversations naturally flow in both English and Japanese, reflecting the brand’s global energy.
With its blend of style, architecture, and atmosphere, this store is more than a shopping trip—it’s an experience. If you’re in Tokyo, the Abercrombie & Fitch flagship in Ginza is not to be missed.
