MITSUKOSHI BGC is launching festive events to celebrate giving, sharing, and togetherness this Christmas season. Based on the Japanese concept of “Okurimono,” the event aims to connect Filipino families to Japanese culture and create a unique holiday celebration. The event is part of The Seasons Residences, a premium development by Federal Land, Inc. and its Japanese partners Nomura Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. and Isetan Mitsukoshi Holdings Ltd. It offers a Japanese-inspired lifestyle with curated retail and dining options. MITSUKOSHI BGC invites everyone to unwrap the cultural journey with three central gifting themes: The Gift of Celebration, The Gift of Sharing, and The Gift of Entertainment.
MITSUKOSHI BGC’s holiday magic begins with the unveiling of Mitsuko, the chic and playful Kokeshi doll. Mitsuko welcomes guests to a world of Japanese charm and hospitality. A vibrant character who loves shopping, karaoke, and delicious food, Mitsuko embodies the playful spirit of Christmas and Japanese culture.
This year, the particular Kokeshi Doll Mitsuko installation, with a magical snow effect, will bring the Christmas spirit of Japan to Metro Manila. Guests are invited to meet Mitsuko, snap a selfie, and share it on Instagram with the hashtags #MITSUKOSHIBGC and #MITSUKO to receive a FREE Key Coffee voucher—available for the first 200 customers who post! This promotion runs from November 20 to 30, 2024.
In addition to the holiday festivities, MITSUKOSHI BGC proudly displays its iconic Lion Statue, a symbol of prosperity and good fortune that has graced the entrance of MITSUKOSHI’s Nihombashi store since 1914. This beloved statue has crossed the sea to the Philippines for the first time, offering visitors a chance to experience the spirit of Omotenashi—the Japanese art of hospitality. The statue will welcome guests to create new memories with loved ones during this holiday.
The holiday season is also a time to gather around the table, and MITSUKOSHI BGC has curated a selection of festive dining options with extended dining hours for customers to enjoy: Monday to Thursday, 11 AM to 10 PM, Friday 11 AM to 11 PM, and Saturday, Sunday, and holidays 10 AM to 11 PM. Guests are invited to enjoy delectable dishes from the diverse range of restaurants housed within MITSUKOSHI, with incredible promotions that make celebrating the holidays with family and friends even more special.
From December 1 to 31, a Dine-In Raffle Promotion offers patrons the chance to win exciting prizes, including a MacBook Pro, restaurant gift certificates, Christmas cakes, and Metrobank merchandise. Spend a minimum of P3,000 for Metrobank Card holders or P4,000 for any other payment method at participating restaurants, such as Ralph Wine, CBTL, Prologue, and more, to qualify for a chance to win.
Moreover, MITSUKOSHI BGC’s Holiday gift-wrapping service is perfect for making your presents unique. For purchases starting at P1,000, customers can enjoy complimentary gift wrapping with exclusive MITSUKOSHI wrapping paper and bags from Isetan Mitsukoshi Japan. This thoughtful service, conducted by expertly trained staff, is available throughout the December 1 to 25 holiday.
MITSUKOSHI BGC Christmas features a visual that aligns with the Isetan Mitsukoshi Christmas campaign created by Akira Minagawa. This global campaign features an array of unique characters with individuality, creating a fresh impression of Japanese Christmas. It will also showcase a wonderful blend of Japanese, Western, and Filipino Christmas traditions with live entertainment and kid-friendly events.
From December 20 to 22, 2024, children ages 5-11 are invited to participate in a Christmas Kids Event featuring sing-alongs, Christmas workshops, mini-games, and the chance to collect sweet treats from participating MITSUKOSHI tenants. The event promises to be a magical experience for the whole family. Registration is open for those who make a minimum purchase of P2,000.
In addition, the Live Music Performances and Santa Meet & Greet from December 23 to 25 will bring festive cheer to visitors with classic Japanese Christmas songs, live performances, and the chance to meet Santa Claus himself.
This holiday season marks the beginning of exciting new experiences at MITSUKOSHI BGC. Looking ahead to March 2025, MITSUKOSHI is excited to announce the opening of Ipponyari, a Japanese restaurant offering authentic dishes at reasonable prices.
MITSUKOSHI BGC’s Christmas celebration is a heartfelt tribute bringing together the best Japanese traditions with local flair.
