Nagoya Mitsukoshi

Nagoya Mitsukoshi Co., Ltd. is a department-store operating company in Japan and a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsukoshi Isetan Holdings. The present company was established in 2009 as part of the Mitsukoshi Isetan Group’s business organization. It took over operation of the Nagoya Sakae Mitsukoshi and Hoshigaoka Mitsukoshi stores from Isetan Mitsukoshi Co., Ltd. in 2010, and later added further retail operations and formats in the region. Its principal business is department-store retailing. The company’s operating locations have included Nagoya Sakae Mitsukoshi, Hoshigaoka Mitsukoshi, Mitsukoshi Toyota, and LACHIC, a commercial complex adjoining the Sakae store. The wider operating network described in the supplied Japanese-language reference also includes MI Plaza Tokoname and external-sales satellite shops. Its stores carry a broad department-store assortment, with the official Sakae store listing categories such as women’s fashion and accessories, cosmetics, menswear, jewelry, watches, eyewear, children’s goods, home and living products, sports, and food. Events and promotions are part of the stores’ customer offering, including seasonal sales, food events, and product fairs. The company’s footprint and organization have changed over time. It opened retail formats outside its core department stores, including MI Plaza locations and, in 2016, two Isetan-branded stores. The operation of the latter two stores was transferred to Isetan Mitsukoshi Co., Ltd. in 2017; both subsequently closed. In 2022, Nagoya Mitsukoshi opened Mitsukoshi Toyota in part of the former Matsuzakaya Toyota location in T-FACE. The supplied official store page identifies Nagoya Sakae Mitsukoshi at 3-5-1 Sakae, Naka-ku, Nagoya; this is a store address, not evidence of the company’s corporate headquarters.

The Nagoya Mitsukoshi entry concerns the present Japanese department-store operating company, not the earlier company of the same name. The supplied Japanese-language reference describes the present Nagoya Mitsukoshi as a second-generation company under Mitsukoshi Isetan Holdings and distinguishes it from the first Nagoya Mitsukoshi, directing readers to Oriental Nakamura Department Store for the earlier entity. The present company was established on October 1, 2009, as part of the Mitsukoshi Isetan Group’s business policy. On April 1, 2010, it took over from Isetan Mitsukoshi Co., Ltd. the operation of Nagoya Sakae Mitsukoshi, Hoshigaoka Mitsukoshi, and external-sales satellite shops. LACHIC was not included in that initial transfer: it was operated by a specialist-facilities division of Isetan Mitsukoshi. Its operation moved to Nagoya Mitsukoshi on April 1, 2013. The company subsequently expanded its regional presence through additional formats. MI Plaza Kakamigahara opened at Aeon Mall Kakamigahara on September 26, 2014, and MI Plaza Tokoname opened at Aeon Mall Tokoname on December 4, 2015. In 2016, the company opened Isetan House in the Dai Nagoya Building on March 9 and Isetan Centrair Store in the domestic-flight area of Chubu Centrair International Airport on October 18. Responsibility for both Isetan-branded stores transferred to Isetan Mitsukoshi Co., Ltd. on April 1, 2017, with the stores positioned as branches of Isetan Shinjuku. Isetan House closed on August 31, 2020, and Isetan Centrair Store closed at the end of February 2021, ending the Isetan-branded stores’ presence in Aichi Prefecture according to the supplied reference. Nagoya Mitsukoshi also opened Mitsukoshi Toyota on April 22, 2022, in part of the former Matsuzakaya Toyota premises in the A-kan building of T-FACE. The reference identifies the company’s current operating portfolio as including the Sakae and Hoshigaoka department stores, Mitsukoshi Toyota, LACHIC, and MI Plaza Tokoname; it also describes external-sales satellite shops in Aichi, Gifu, and Shizuoka prefectures. The official Nagoya Sakae store page gives that store’s address as 3-5-1 Sakae, Naka-ku, Nagoya, but does not establish the company’s headquarters address.
