What did you think of the new Shibuya PARCO?

ERI:Quite a maze class.

Kawamura:. of feeling like you don't know where you are going around. Well, it's the first time .

ERI:. My impression was that the cultural smell, or rather the cultural level, has increased a lot. Fashion was the same, plus more.

Kawamura:That may indeed be true. Before, the galleries were an added bonus, but from this time on, "2G" is the same, and "PARCO MUSEUM TOKYO" is also very much in the works.

ERI:Personally speaking, I have to say that I used to go to the "Parco Book Center" a lot , so I'm a little disappointed that they didn't bring it back.

Kawamura:Yes, it was a nice bookstore!

ERI:Also, "Shibuya PARCO" has always had an image of being for young people, but after the renovation, it looks like it will be fun for all kinds of people. It also houses the Pokemon Center Shibuya and Nintendo TOKYO.

Kawamura:But I still think the food and beverage floor on the basement floor looks amazing. It wasn't like this before. It looks like they are playing with the whole space. Anyway, it is definitely a fun place to be.

ERI:Yes . No doubt. Ah, it was fun.
