This year's concept is "Meets Your Needs!!"

Last year, under a state of emergency, the "ISETAN Shoe Fair 2021" was held on a significantly smaller scale than usual. Despite these circumstances, more than 150 customers visited the store before it even opened on the first day, and a queue formed for entry, making it a resounding success.

This year, ISETAN Shoe Fair will continue to move forward. We have gathered many expectations and requests from our customers through surveys at the venue, Instagram, LINE, and more. In 2022, under the theme "Meets Your Needs!!", we will implement plans based on the passionate feedback we have received. We will be expanding the venue and brands compared to last year.
