Why not cool off in a cool department store during the scorching hot Minami summer?
During the scorching hot summer, when the temperature outside rises, you’ll want to go outside to cool off a little. At times like these, department stores are the ideal place to escape the heat. Department stores are equipped with comfortable air conditioning, making them a place where you can forget about the heat outside. Another appealing point is that they’re not just cool, but also offer a variety of ways to have fun.
First, why not enjoy some cold drinks and desserts at the cafes and restaurants in the department store? There are plenty of summer-only menus, such as ice cream, frozen drinks, and shaved ice. It’s also fun to chat with friends and family while enjoying some cold food and drink.

Another way to cool off is to wander around the shops in department stores. From fashion items to accessories, cosmetics, and miscellaneous goods, just looking around the wide range of products will help you change your mood. It’s also a good idea to look for new seasonal trend items or buy something as a reward for yourself.
Furthermore, department stores often have entertainment facilities such as movie theaters and art galleries attached to them. You can refresh yourself in a comfortable space by watching the latest movies or appreciating artworks. Movie theaters are especially dark and cool, so you will completely forget the heat outside.
As you can see, department stores are much more than just places to shop. They are not only a way to escape the heat, but also a place where you can relax and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. On a scorching hot day, why not try spending some time in a department store, cooling off and enjoying a comfortable stay? Time in a cool space will be a precious opportunity to refresh both your body and mind.
If you’re tired from shopping, why not try some take-out sweets from a nearby store?
