ORIHICA Opens Men’s-Only Store in Sapporo, Specializing in Men’s Business and Smart-Casual Apparel

ORIHICA, a brand promoting 'Smart Biz Style' (operated by AOKI Corporation; President and CEO: Daisaburo Koidé), will open the 'ORIHICA Sapporo Chikagai Aurora Town Store' on Friday, July 10, 2026, at the commercial facility 'Sapporo Chikagai Aurora Town' in Sapporo, Hokkaido. This will be ORIHICA’s second men’s-only store and its third store in Hokkaido, reinforcing its brand identity as a 'smart-casual specialist' and aiming to acquire new market segments.

Opening a Store in Sapporo Specializing in Men’s Business and Smart-Casual Apparel

The 'Sapporo Chikagai Aurora Town,' where ORIHICA is opening, is located along the most important pedestrian corridor in central Sapporo, connecting Odori Station—served by three major subway lines—to the Sapporo TV Tower via underground passageways. Its direct connection to Odori Station offers an excellent location, allowing customers to enjoy smooth shopping experiences during commutes, school trips, or on their way home, regardless of weather conditions.

The 'ORIHICA Sapporo Chikagai Aurora Town Store' is a men’s-only store specializing in men’s business and smart-casual apparel. Although more compact than ORIHICA’s standard stores, it leverages a 'Web Order Service'—where customers try on suits in-store, and adjusted inventory from the warehouse is delivered to their homes. This allows ample display space for high-demand carry-home items such as jackets, shirts, and accessories, maximizing sales efficiency within a limited floor area and enabling customers to view a wider range of products. Additionally, the store features curved wall fixtures and meticulously designed fitting rooms, expressing the brand’s unique world.

This new store is expected to create synergies with the 'Shin-Sapporo Sunpiazza Store,' which opened in September 2025, allowing ORIHICA to deliver greater brand value to customers across Sapporo. By maintaining two strategic locations—one suburban and one urban—ORIHICA will realize a multifaceted approach tailored to customers’ lifestyles and needs.

Moving forward, ORIHICA will continue strengthening its presence in major cities nationwide, aiming to expand market share and further enhance brand recognition on the path toward achieving 200 stores.
