AEON Lounge at AEON Mall Kumamoto: Sneaking Into Kumamoto’s Members-Only Hidden Hideaway
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 —
the only one in all of Kumamoto Prefecture —
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 — 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
AEON Gold Card Select
For AEON Card Select holders, you can also reach Gold status through the standard requirements above or by meeting any of the following:
- 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 — 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!
