Far East Plaza

Introduction

Far East Plaza (not to be confused with Far East Shopping Centre) is a rejuvenated shopping complex, given a new lease of life by the youth market. This mall is THE place for "street merchandise".

This shopping mall is thronged by the young, hip and trendy. Unlike many other shopping arcades that tried to engineer the Shinjuku-cool, Far East Plaza is the natural extension of the youth and urban cool. Although most of the shops here cater to street fashion, there are a couple of toy shops here.
