Yunika Building, Shinjuku, Tokyo
First time I've done a building in the Shinjuku area in Tokyo. This is one of the central buildings in Shinjuku upon existing the east side of Shjinjuku station. Yunika Building, built by Matsuda Hirata Sekkei (MHS), was built in 2010, and it's first tenant, a Yamada-Labi appliance/electronics store, occupied it within the first decade of the building's existence, before Yamada had financial struggles during the pandemic and moved to a building in the west side of the station (there is currently a merger proposal from rival electronics chain Edion in Japan). Labi is the brand Yamada uses in urban areas.
In 2022, Alpen Sports opened a flagship store as the new tenant of this building. There are eight above-ground floors as well as two basement floors in the building, and they sell over 350,000 sporting good items, giving us one of, if not the largest sporting goods store in the world.
Floor breakdown:
Alpen Sports/Sports Depo occupy the two basement floors and the first two ground floors.
Basement 2F: Baseball and softball, as well as MLB/Nippon League memorabilia and other team sports, as well as an area for Japanese brand Mizuno.
Basement 1F: Racquet (pickleball/tennis/badminton/ping pong), Volleyball and Swimming.
Ground Floor 1F: Running, with simulated running tracks, and basketball, as well as sports jerseys from around the world. The NBA is heavily represented here.
2F: Soccer/World football, with kits of every kind, the latest boots, and equipment.
3-5F: Alpen Outdoors, a camping superstore for all your camping needs. North Face, Patagonia, Columbia, and Coleman are big brands here, as well as the Japanese brand Snow Peak.
6-7F: Golf5: A golfing chain in Japan, which sells everything golf related, including craftsman made specialized clubs. The 6th floor has 3D scanning to give your hands the perfect clubs. The 7th floor is full of golf simulators to test your clubs.
8F: Alpen Mountains. For your mountain hiking needs, and a haven for people who hike places like Mt. Fuji. Snowboarding and skiing are also represented here.
If you're looking for more specialized sports like American or Aussie Rules football, rugby, cricket, hockey, this is probably not the place to find that equipment since those aren't sports that are played as much in Japan.
There's also an array of restaurants, pharmacies like Matsumoto Kiyoshi and Welcia, financial services, and salons/wellness centers in this central building of Shinjuku. The big LED boards for Yunika Vision are included here.
