Ikea is closing its Harajuku and Shinjuku locations in February

Tokyo was abuzz with excitement when Swedish retail giant Ikea made its city-centre debut in 2020, opening convenient new locations in Harajuku and Shibuya, followed by a third outpost in Shinjuku the following year. However, in some unfortunate news, Ikea recently announced that it will be closing its Harajuku and Shinjuku stores for good this February. 

Shoppers still have a few weeks to browse and dine at both locations, with the stores set to close on Sunday February 8, at 6pm. For customers using the in-store pickup service, the final collection date will be February 1. Returns and exchanges will be accepted until 5pm on February 8.

Looking ahead, the retailer has confirmed that the Ikea Shibuya location will now act as the brand's hub for central Tokyo. Elsewhere in the region, shoppers can find bigger Ikea stores in Yokohama, Tachikawa and the Tokyo Bay area (Funabashi).
