Apple Fukuoka, the only Apple Store in Japan that opened during normal business hours, will shift to shortened business hours from May 7th, with the closing time advanced by one hour. With this, all Apple Stores in Japan will be shortened.
Apple Fukuoka also shortened sales
The normal business hours of Apple Stores in Japan are from 10 am to 9 pm.
However, in line with the reissue of the emergency declaration at the end of April, eight stores in the Tokyo metropolitan area and the Kansai area were shortened from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm, and Apple Nagoya Sakae was shortened from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm Only Apple Fukuoka had normal business hours.
However, from May 7th, it was announced that Apple Fukuoka will also shift to shortened business hours from 10 am to 8 pm. It seems that the response was made after the government policy to add Aichi and Fukuoka prefectures to the subject of the state of emergency was reported.
All stores shortened
With the shift to shortened sales of Apple Fukuoka, all 10 Apple Stores in Japan will be shortened.
The business hours of each store from May 7th to 13th, which are open to the public at the time of writing this article, are as follows.
- 6 stores in the Greater Tokyo area (Apple Ginza, Marunouchi, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Omotesando, Kawasaki)
- 2 stores in the Kansai area (Apple Kyoto, Shinsaibashi)
- Apple Nagoya Sakae: 10 am-8pm
- Apple Fukuoka: 10 am-8pm
Business hours may change depending on the spread of infection in the future, so if you plan to use the Apple Store, please check the latest information before heading to the store.
Advance reservation is recommended when visiting the store
Currently, as an infection prevention measure, the Apple Store limits the number of people who can enter the store at one time, and is taking measures such as wearing a mask and measuring the temperature when entering the store.
Advance reservations are recommended for shopping and support, and if there is no reservation, it may take a long time to enter the store, so it is recommended to make a store visit reservation using the “Apple Store” app.
