Ikebukuro PARCO celebrated its 55th anniversary on November 23, 2024 (Saturday holiday).

Since its opening as PARCO’s first store in 1969, Ikebukuro PARCO has been changing along with a changing city, incorporating diverse individuality and unique culture.

“Ahead of the 55th anniversary, PARCO will continue to connect and expand this city with people.”

With such thoughts, we held an anniversary project bearing the theme of this anniversary "LINK" for 55 days from November 1 (Fri) to December 25 (Wed).
