i think this place should be categorized as a ¥¥¥¥ business! everywhere i looked, the price tags were ri-donkulous! ¥20,000 sweaters and other designer clothing items! fortunately for us, we were just strolling through, checking out the general layout, seeing what they had for sale, what was different compared to american dept stores. and of course, we did not leave without a trip to the food court in the basement. they had a vast assortment of food, fresh fish, japanese veggies, sushi, rice bowls, noodle dishes, cakes, pastries, mochi and drinks. although everything you see is cold, the vendors will microwave your meal for you if it is meant to be a hot food item. since it is takashimaya, even the food court isn't cheap, as hubby and i each spent about ¥1500 on our lunch/snacks. the food was decent, but probably not worth the price. there's a nice outdoor eating area on 2F, since there's nowhere to eat inside. it's also in a prime-choice location, near other dept stores, parks, historical landmarks, and of course, right on top of the shinjuku train station.
