Why You Should Visit

A travelling-fair style event that gathers ice cream from across Japan in one hall — 27 brands and more than 170 varieties, from regional-ingredient flavours to the signature items of specialist shops. The line-up shifts as things sell out and rotate by day, so come early if there's something specific you want. The indoor hall stays cool, making it a useful break during a midsummer department-store trip. The same 9F hall also hosts the World Insect Exhibition from Aug 6.
