Arcakit Kinshicho stands as a comprehensive shopping destination spanning multiple levels in the heart of Sumida City. The mall features an impressive array of fashion retailers, beauty services, and everyday essentials, anchored by major brands like Uniqlo, GU, and one of Tokyo's largest Daiso stores occupying an entire floor.

The mall's thoughtful layout places a well-stocked supermarket and drugstore in the basement level, while the upper floors house diverse dining options and specialty shops. Fashion enthusiasts will appreciate the carefully curated selection of clothing stores, accessories boutiques, and shoe retailers spread across different levels, making it a one-stop shopping destination.

Located directly adjacent to Kinshicho Station’s south exit, Arcakit offers seamless accessibility with convenient underground bicycle parking and excellent connectivity to public transportation. The mall’s practical amenities, including wheelchair accessibility and various payment options, make it a user-friendly destination for both locals and visitors exploring Tokyo’s eastern district.

What sets Arcakit apart is its rooftop observatory on the 9th floor—a quiet, open-air terrace offering panoramic views of the Tokyo Skytree (東京スカイツリー) and the surrounding urban landscape. We've dubbed this spot the “comparison spot” because it provides a unique vantage point to gauge the Skytree's prominence against its surroundings. From here, visitors can contextualize and compare the Skytree with nearby architecture and infrastructure, revealing the massive scale and visual dominance of this Tokyo icon. Fortunately, tripods are permitted on this rooftop, making it a favorite among nightscape photographers aiming for long-exposure shots or layered city compositions.

The observatory itself is modest—equipped with vending machines and benches—but it becomes a quiet retreat in the evenings when the Skytree illuminates the skyline. With no glass barriers obstructing the view, it offers a rare chance for clean framing and slow, uninterrupted observation, especially during blue hour or after sunset. Whether you’re a photographer, a casual visitor, or a local looking for a peaceful overlook, Arcakit Kinshicho presents a rare blend of urban utility and scenic value atop an unassuming neighborhood mall.
