Ito-Yokado Tsudanuma Store: 46 Years and the Tsudanuma War A valuable, locally-exclusive photo book meticulously documented by the local "Narashino History Society," chronicling the 46-year history of the Ito-Yokado Tsudanuma store, a symbol of the area in front of Keisei Tsudanuma Station, which has long watched over the community's life. It traces the journey of the pigeon-marked store, which survived the fierce department store and large-scale store competition once waged in this area, known as the "Tsudanuma War," and was beloved as the community's "department store," from its opening to its closure at the end of September 2024. This booklet features a full-color, A4-size format for easy viewing, including explanations of historical transitions, the store's interior in its heyday, and the events leading up to its final day, which was met with regret. Notably, it includes the historical exhibition held on the 7th floor before the closure, which drew a large response, topics about the rooftop amusement park that conveyed the lively atmosphere of the time, and episodes filled with the voices of local residents, such as "stories of how Ito-Yokado saved my life." In addition, it contains many old photos of Tsudanuma Station and the surrounding area of the Ito-Yokado Tsudanuma store. For those who lived in Tsudanuma from the 1970s to the 2000s, or who used the area for commuting or going to school, it will be a time capsule that vividly revives their youth and daily memories. In particular, it is a must-read for history and commercial fans who pay attention to the fierce competition of the time and the historical significance of the Ito-Yokado Tsudanuma store, which once boasted the highest sales in Japan among all Yokado stores and had many firsts. Created with gratitude by local people, it is a highly valuable document to be passed on to future generations. 2024 Narashino History Society A4 size 58 pages #Click here for our carefully selected travel guides and maps #ItoYokadoTsudanumaStore #TsudanumaWar #ShinTsudanumaStation #KeiseiTsudanuma #Narashino #Funabashi #LocalExclusive #PhotoBook #OldPhotos #DistributionHistory #TsudanumaPARCO #ItoYokado #DistributionWar #PigeonMark #ChibaPrefecture #NarashinoCity #ShinkeiseiLine #Memories #Closure
