AEON TOWN Tsu-Kawage

AEON TOWN Tsu-Kawage (イオンタウン津河芸) is a neighborhood-type shopping center located in Kawage-cho, Tsu City, Mie Prefecture, Japan. It sits in the northern part of Tsu City, in the area of the former Kawage-cho, and is operated under the AEON TOWN banner within the wider AEON Group retail network. The center opened on March 14, 2009, originally as the AEON Super Center Tsu-Kawage Shopping Center. On June 15, 2012, operation was transferred from AEON Retail Co., Ltd. to AEON Big Co., Ltd., and the facility reopened as AEON TOWN Tsu-Kawage, with its core store changed from AEON Super Center to The Big Extra. The center serves as a local daily-needs shopping destination, combining a discount supermarket anchor with specialty tenants covering fashion, baby and children's goods, discount goods, eyewear, personal services, mobile phone retail, cleaning, a computer classroom, a coin laundry, banking, and food. The official tenant roster lists The Big Extra Tsu-Kawage as the supermarket/general merchandise anchor, alongside tenants such as Nishimatsuya, Seria, Megane no Masuda, Cut Coms, pilates K, Rakuten Mobile, Petras, MAHALO Seitai, selectSIM, Otakaraya, Young Dry Plus, Karun PC School, a large coin laundry, an AEON Bank ATM, and a fresh gyoza direct-sales outlet. The site provides 1,085 free parking spaces and 465 free bicycle parking spaces. Access is convenient by public transport and car: it is about a five-minute walk from Toyotsu-Ueno Station on the Kintetsu Nagoya Line, about 25 minutes by car from Tsu Interchange on the Ise Expressway toward Nagoya at the Nakabetsu intersection corner, and about a three-minute walk from the "AEON-mae" stop on the Tsu City Community Bus. The center has also been used as a relay station point for the All Japan University Ekiden Championship held each autumn, at least as of 2018. Over time the tenant mix has changed. Furniture Dome Tsu-Kawage, once one of the core stores, closed on August 4, 2019; competitor Nitori opened in the following year on January 31, 2020. Sundrug opened on March 13, 2022, and Nishimatsuya opened on May 19, 2022. Former tenants also include AEON Super Center as the original core store and Asbee Fam, which closed on August 5, 2022. The center remains active and continues to serve as a neighborhood shopping hub in northern Tsu City.
