The new scenery of Hakata ”Ishimura Manseido” Main store reopened

Loved by the local people, Ishimura Manseido main store celebrated its 115 anniversary and reopened after renovation in July. The place turned into a nine-floor building, and the new main store has reopened on the first floor. The original signboard passed on to the new store like the heartwarming hospitality never changed.

You will see the bright space after walking through the entrance curtain drawn with cute illustrations. This illustration was drawn by Sengai, who is familiar with the nickname “Sengai san of Hakata.” It represents the pure personality of Hakata residents and also serves as the symbol of the new main store. The store staff give it a nickname, ” Puri Chan.”

The door where “Puri chan” stands is from the old main store.。

▲It can see clearly the finish line of Hakata Gion Festival in the store.
