Tokyo Swan 5: Lazona -mall of champions-


(episode 5: lazona mall of champions)

So in this episode, I went to the newly constructed mall in Kawasaki called "Lazona." This place was huge! With over 4 floors of shops, it had everything from a grocery store to an arcade. When I was in Japan I went to this mall many times becuase it was very close to where I was living. All I had to do was get on a train and within 5 minutes I would be at the station that was connected to the basement of the mall.

Malls in Japan typically are not this large. In fact, many of them around the Tokyo area are constructed around the major train stations. However, this one is quite the exception and it featured a lot of awesome stores. It also highlights just how crowded it can get around Japan, as literally swarms of people were walking around the place.

The food court in the basement was also nice, as I would always get the same hot dog lunch set. Sometimes it's nice to have some comfort food every once in a while to remind you of home. It was a great mall to visit, and I hope one day I can go back!
