Fujisaki Department Store (藤崎) 藤崎
It began in 1819 as a fabric shop; today you can walk straight from floor -2 into the metro.
The business began in 1819 in the castle town of the Date as Ebisuya, a shop selling heavy cotton and hemp cloth; it became a joint-stock company in 1912 and turned two hundred in 2019. The main building has seven floors above ground and three below, with sales floors down to the second basement. In 1973 four escalators were installed there, going up and down: the first in Japan in an arrangement of this kind. After the March 2011 earthquake it reopened in stages, with the whole building in operation from 22 April.
