Tsutaya bookstores are attracting attention as new community spaces. The Ebetsu Tsutaya Bookstore, which opened last year in Ebetsu City, Hokkaido, is a large-scale, community-based bookstore complex that supports "food," "knowledge," and "living" based on the concept of "country-city slow life," and is highly supported mainly by the local community.
SOUTH2 WEST8, also based in the northern part of Japan, is currently holding a pop-up store at Ebetsu Tsutaya. This is a dynamic attempt to recreate the Sapporo-based "SOUTH2 WEST8" store on its vast premises. The interior is set with stuffed animals and a lineup of popular items selected from the 2019SS collection.
