Floor-by-Floor Guide: B2F to 6F
For each floor, we highlight the product lineup, what makes Yurakucho special, and the items that are most popular with international visitors.
【B2F】 A Floor for Hobbies & the Outdoors: Cameras, Golf, E-Bikes, Pet Supplies, Lighting & Drones
B2F brings together precision Japanese optics, hands-on hobby gear, and a well-stocked pet section — a floor full of carefully curated items for enthusiasts and animal lovers alike.
- Cameras, video cameras, binoculars, drones, lighting fixtures, photo printing, bicycles, golf, sports goods, golf simulator, camera bags, shooting equipment, action cameras, albums, frames, pet supplies, pet electronics.
Cameras & Video Cameras: Get Your Hands on the Latest Models
The latest models from Japan’s most iconic camera brands — Canon, Nikon, and Sony — are lined up in abundance. The real highlight is that almost every model is available for hands-on testing: mount a lens you’re curious about, fire the shutter, check the weight, and take as long as you need to find your perfect match.
Cheki (instax): Turn Travel Memories into Prints on the Spot
Among all the camera sections, the one that draws the biggest crowd is the corner dedicated to the globally beloved instant camera, the Cheki (Instax). The range is genuinely impressive — pastel-coloured cute models, retro-chic hybrid models, and everything in between. Colorful dedicated cases and accessories are right alongside the cameras, making this the go-to souvenir choice for any photo-loving friend back home.

Golf Equipment: A Staggering Selection from Head to Toe

The golf section is a perennial favorite with international visitors. Beyond an excellent club selection, there is a fully equipped swing studio with a state-of-the-art simulator, plus a putting green where you can take your time testing the feel of a putter. Apparel, shoes, and bags are all here too, so you can complete your entire golf look in one visit.
The swing studio is available from 11:00 to 19:00. For a swing session or club fitting, speak to a nearby sales associate. Yurakucho also has a certified PGA teaching professional on staff, so you can get personalized tips — from club selection to swing analysis — to elevate your game back home.
Pet Supplies & Pet Electronics: Gifts for the Furry Family Members at Home

Billed as a “pet supplies and pet electronics specialist,” this corner offers an astonishingly well-stocked selection of items for your animal companions.
Japanese-brand pet food has an excellent reputation for quality, and the shelves are packed with popular biscuits and jerky treats, as well as premium wet food. True to its electronics-store roots, the corner is also strong on gadgets like automatic pet feeders and pet houses. If you want to bring something home for the four-legged family member waiting for you, this is the place.
【B1F】 Home & Kitchen Appliances: From Refrigerators, Washing Machines & Air Conditioners to Rice Cookers & Vacuum Cleaners
B1F is packed with appliances that make everyday life a little more convenient and enjoyable. Great for your own needs, and equally good for finding a practical gift for family.

Rice Cookers: A Superb Lineup of "Made in Japan" Models That Work Abroad!

When it comes to Japanese souvenirs, a high-performance rice cooker is hard to beat. This floor has an outstanding section dedicated to “overseas-use” rice cookers compatible with foreign voltages (120V, 220–230V, etc.), alongside the popular domestic-market models. “Made in Japan” models from Zojirushi, Tiger, and Panasonic are all lined up, including some with dedicated settings for long-grain rice and congee. Box weights (Package weight) are clearly labeled — a thoughtful touch for calculating carry-on allowances.
- For higher-priced items like rice cookers, stacking the tax-free exemption with the LIVE JAPAN coupon produces significant savings. Have your coupon screen ready before you head to the register.
Thermal Bottles & Kitchen Goods: A Lineup of Lightweight, Stylish Items

Japanese stainless-steel thermal bottles are loved worldwide for their lightweight and superb heat- and cold-retention properties. The Tiger and Zojirushi corners are stacked with colorful, stylish bottles and tumblers — the hardest part is choosing just one.
Thermos frying pans, elegantly designed hot plates that brighten any table, and practical breakfast-prep kitchen appliances are all here too — a must-visit for anyone who loves cooking.
Vacuum Cleaners: Test Dyson's Suction Power with Real Debris!

The vacuum section lets you put Dyson’s latest cordless models and robot vacuums through their paces. What makes it special is a dedicated test area where debris is intentionally scattered on the floor — you pick up a bottle of test material, scatter it, and see exactly how each machine handles it. Try as many models as you like until you find the one that makes you look forward to cleaning.
Clothing Care & Convenient Appliances: Items That Come in Handy Even on the Road

At the clothing steamer corner, you can feel the power of high-temperature steam — effective not only on creases but also for reducing pollen on fabric. There’s also a demonstration corner where you can try a pill remover on an actual red sweater.
Also on display are many of the clever, thoughtful appliances beloved in Japanese homes, such as futon dryers — perfect for when you can’t hang laundry outside.
【1F】 The Floor for the Latest iPhones, Smartphones, SIM Cards & Tourist Support Services
1F packs in the latest gadgets and practical support services. Whether you've run into trouble during your trip or just want to check out the newest smartphones, this is the floor to visit.
- Smartphones, iPhone, smartphone accessories, mobile batteries, smartwatches.
Smartphones & Accessories: Including the Latest iPhone 17 Series!

The latest iPhone 17 series and a full range of other new smartphones are on display, along with a rich selection of accessories — cases, protective films, dedicated camera lens glass protectors — in enough variety that you’re sure to find the design you’re looking for.
The recently popular “phone shoulder straps” and “hand straps” are also well represented, including convenient models that integrate a USB charging cable. Well worth browsing if you want something to keep your phone safe from drops — or to keep it always at hand for a quick shot.
Travel SIM Cards: Check the Staff Recommendations
The prepaid SIM card corner offers a wide range of plans tailored for visitors to Japan. You can choose based on the length of your stay and the amount of data you need, making it easy to sort out your connectivity. Note that the SIM available to international visitors is “Japan Travel SIM.” (BicCamera’s own budget carrier service “BIC SIM” is for residents in Japan only and is not available to tourists.)
Even if you’re unsure which plan to pick, “Staff Recommended” signs make it easy to navigate. Set-up support is also available so that tech-shy visitors can relax.
AppleShop
A dedicated Apple products corner inside the floor showcases the latest iPhone and other Apple devices in a beautifully presented display. In the open, relaxed atmosphere, you can pick up the latest models and take your time exploring the newest features. Note that while standard Apple Stores in Japan do not process tax-free purchases, BicCamera can. This is a significant benefit for international visitors planning to buy Apple products. However, please be aware that Apple products are not eligible for the LIVE JAPAN exclusive discount coupon (tax-free only applies).

General Information Desk: Free POCKETALK Loan Available!

The General Information Desk on this floor offers support beyond shopping. It handles BicCamera gift card sales, stroller loans, and parking validation — a reliable ally whenever you need help.
A highlight here is the free in-store loan of the POCKETALK translation device, which lets you communicate with confidence and enjoy your shopping without language worries. "Tokyo Subway Tickets" — convenient for sightseeing — are also sold here (available to international visitors only; passport required at time of purchase). Pick one up while checking the route map, and head off to your next destination without a hitch.
【2F】 A Floor with Everything from TVs, Audio & Headphones to Japanese Sake, Whisky & Souvenir Snacks
2F is a must-visit floor for anyone who loves a good drink or is hunting for delicious Japanese souvenirs.
- TVs, audio equipment, earphones, headphones, AirPods, portable audio, electronic pianos, alcohol, snacks.
Alcohol (Bic Sake): Find Your "Perfect Bottle" with Expert Guidance

Look for the large "日本酒 SAKE" sign, which leads you to a section where premium sake is lined up, chilled in large refrigerated cases.
The world-famous "Dassai (獺祭)" is stocked in abundance, from its standard to premium expressions. For those worried about carrying heavy bottles, the "small bottle" corner is a great option for tasting a variety.

The whisky section is equally impressive. Suntory Whisky is well represented, alongside prestigious expressions from Japanese distilleries such as Yoichi and Miyagikyo. International brands like Johnnie Walker Blue Label occasionally feature special purchase bonuses, so whisky lovers should keep an eye out.
Stylish gift bags for bottles come in various sizes and colours, so you can perfect the presentation of a gift for a special someone right here.
- Premium sake and whisky carry high per-bottle prices, so the tax-free + LIVE JAPAN coupon combo produces especially large savings. If you're buying multiple bottles, make sure your coupon screen is ready before you reach the register. Note that some whiskies, Dassai, and Hakkaisan are excluded from the coupon discount.
Japanese Souvenirs (Food & Snacks): Stock Up on Classic "Delicious Japan" in One Go!

Despite being an electronics retailer, the Yurakucho store has a remarkably rich selection of food and souvenirs — one of the things that makes it genuinely special.
Home cooking sets of the queue-worthy “Ichiran Ramen” are available in boxed and bagged versions to suit your budget. Classic Tokyo souvenirs like Tokyo Banana, generously matcha-flavored sweets, and regional-flavor Pocky unique to Japan are all stacked to the rafters — including limited-edition seasonal items.
Since the snacks are on the same floor as the drinks, you can knock out all your edible souvenir shopping in one efficient visit.
【3F】 Beauty & Health Floor: Beauty Appliances, Cosmetics, Medicines, Health Gadgets, Daily Goods & Snacks
3F is a one-stop floor for the latest beauty appliances, medicines, popular cosmetics, health goods, and even snacks — perfect for souvenir hunting. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or picking out gifts for family and friends, you can get it all done in one visit.

Beauty Appliances: Try the Most Talked-About Items for Yourself

Japan’s beauty appliance technology is genuinely impressive, and there are hands-on corners where you can try out airflow and texture on items like Panasonic’s Nano-e and ReFa hair dryers. One important note before you buy: many beauty appliances, including Nano-e and ReFa models, are designed for Japan’s 100V power supply only. Always confirm with a sales associate that the model you’re considering is compatible with the voltage in your home country or region (note that some models can be used without a converter in regions with similar voltages, such as Taiwan at 110V).

Also on display are SALONIA hair straighteners, the latest LED face masks for skin care, and lifting devices. Electric toothbrushes such as Oral-B that make your daily brushing more enjoyable, and shower heads, are worth checking out too.
Medicines: Japan's Most Popular Pharmaceuticals All in One Place

The 3rd floor also features a pharmacy corner popular with visitors to Japan. A wide selection of products that have been well-loved in Japan for many years is available, including cold medicines, digestive remedies, eye drops, adhesive patches, mouth ulcer treatments, vitamins, and pain relievers. Registered pharmaceutical sellers and licensed pharmacists are on hand to help you find the right product for your needs. The adjacent Qual Pharmacy also accepts prescriptions, providing a reassuring environment to support your health throughout your stay.
Cosmetics & Skincare: Plenty of Japan's Popular "Budget Beauties" Too

Social-media-popular cosmetics and skincare items are all here. Melano CC face wash, rice-extract sheet masks, and CANMAKE lip tints and powder — the best of Japan’s beloved affordable cosmetics — are all available (product lineup and stock vary by season). The color contact lens corner is staggeringly well-stocked; browse samples to take your time choosing the design you like.

Health Appliances & Personal Grooming: Check Out the Trusted "Made in Japan" Items

The blood pressure monitor corner offers trusted “Made in Japan” models, including Omron’s smartphone-linked options. The men’s shaver corner lets you compare the latest models from Braun and Panasonic. (※ Some Panasonic products are not eligible for the coupon discount.)
Daily Goods & Handy Items: Useful Things Even on Your Travels

Daily goods packed with Japan’s trademark thoughtful details are popular here too. “Stain Rescue” wipes — a lifesaver if you spill on your clothes during a meal — and Japan’s popular laundry gel pods are useful even during your stay. Cooling wipes and neck coolers for hot weather, UV-protection products like sunscreen, and sanitary products are all well-stocked, so you can quickly pick up whatever you need.

Snacks: Perfect for a Quick Bite or as Share-Out Souvenirs

3F actually has a snack corner too. "Cororo" and fruit gummies, "Nippon Ale" — famous for regional fruit gummies from different parts of Japan — Alfort chocolate biscuits, Baby Star Ramen: the shelves are packed with Japan's uniquely delicious snacks. Soft drinks and energy drinks are also stocked, so feel free to hunt for your favourites between browsing.

Stationery: Take Home a Pen with an Exceptional Writing Feel
Japanese stationery has fans worldwide, and with good reason. The "SARASA Clip" — with its extensive colour range — is one of the most popular souvenir choices for both personal use and to hand out. Large multi-pens sets are available for convenient bulk buying.
Concert Lights: Experience Japan's Live Event Culture
Concert lights — an essential part of Japanese concerts and events — are available in a surprisingly wide variety. Being able to choose a light in the colour of your favourite artist makes these a perfect item for anyone who wants to experience Japan's "oshi-katsu" fan culture.
