2017.06.29

Our SaruKuma writer visited the “AEON Lounge” in person and reports back with the full scoop. We’ve summarized family-friendly tips, access, and opening hours.
AEON Mall Kumamoto is undergoing major renovations,
but did you know there’s a hidden AEON Lounge inside β
the only one in all of Kumamoto Prefecture β
open only to a select few members? We snuck in to take a look.
Who Gets to Go In?
AEON Gold Card
If you hold an AEON Card and meet any of the conditions below, you’ll receive an invitation to upgrade to a Gold Card. Once Gold, always Gold β the status is for life.
- Spent 1,000,000 yen or more in the past year
- Cumulative spending of 5,000,000 yen or more
- Used the card 120+ times in the past year with spending of 800,000 yen or more

- Time deposit balance of 5,000,000 yen or more
- Use of investment trust or home loan services
- Enrollment in a personal pension insurance plan
AEON Owners Card
You can get this card by holding 100 or more shares of AEON stock. There’s investment risk, of course, but it’s the lowest-cost shortcut to lounge access. The 3% cashback perk is a sweet bonus.
AEON Lounge Membership Card
- If you spend 400,000 yen or more per year on your AEON Card at AEON-operated departments, a special AEON Lounge membership card will arrive in your mailbox.
What’s It Like Inside?

It gets pretty popular, so the Kumamoto lounge has a time limit in place.
We forgot to snap a photo, but there’s a fridge in the back
stocked with Topvalu (AEON’s private-label) drinks β free for members!
It’s the perfect spot to kick back with a coffee.
The full scene inside? That’s a secret.
Meet the requirements and discover it for yourself!
Where Is It Located?

You’ll find it tucked into the corner of the 2nd-floor women’s clothing section!
Just look for this sign!
