Tobu Utsunomiya Department Store (東武宇都宮百貨店)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A long-established department store in the center of Utsunomiya. With a restaurant floor, even families with children can sit down at a table for a relaxed lunch. The food hall also carries local sweets and prepared dishes, making it convenient to pick up a snack for later. The air-conditioned interior is also a reassuring place to rest after walking around outside. Being able to stock up on towels and a change of clothes for the afternoon's water play is another advantage unique to a department store.

Tips

Hours for the restaurant floor vary by shop, so check the official website in advance. There may be a wait around noon on weekends, so shifting to late 11am or after 1pm makes it easier to get a seat. Checking the location of the baby care room ahead of time makes it easier to get around with an infant.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 10 minutes. You can spend the peak heat of the day indoors
