Keeping warm with Matsuya Ginza

Christmas promotions at the Matsuya Ginza department store reach their peak in the days leading up to Christmas Day.

Shoppers can find some of the most popular gifts on the store's seventh floor with lifestyle goods such as slippers and blankets that will make Christmas at home all the more homey and warm. There are such items as a soft and light Norwegian Roros Tweed blanket for ¥28,080, Cloakrooms' pantoufle (slippers) with gorillas printed on them for ¥3,456 a pair. The twin gorillas printed on the slippers evoke a stylish, but fun look.

A pair of made-in-Japan "Ion Doctor" ankle warmers will also keep people warm on cold winter nights. Originally used by nurses to prevent their legs from getting cold, 11 different kinds of natural mineral powder is adhered onto high-quality natural cotton pads, and the warmers affected by body temperature generate infrared heat, warming the ankles.

At ¥6,916, the antibacterial warmers don't need to be washed, as they can simply be turned inside out and dried in the sun. All prices include tax. For more information, call 03-3567-1211.
