Overview of Sales for January 2026
Sales at the Ginza flagship store in January 2026 decreased approximately 16% year-over-year. Duty-free sales significantly declined due to travel restrictions for visitors from China and operational differences during the Lunar New Year, resulting in about a 30% decrease compared to the same month in the period from March 2024 to February 2025, which recorded the highest sales on record. Conversely, visitors from other countries, such as Taiwan, Korea, and Thailand, increased sales partly due to the weak yen. Sales to domestic customers were strong, with luxury brands up about 6% and women's apparel up about 8%, achieving overall sales comparable to the previous year.
Future Challenges and Measures
It is important to continue strengthening customer engagement from a broad range of countries while promoting measures to encourage visits from the core domestic customer base to drive sales expansion. Various initiatives aimed at recovering duty-free sales and expanding domestic demand are expected to impact future performance.
