5 things to do at Muji Philippines' flagship store

One shouldn't miss trying its baked goods!

Published May 2, 2025 10:16 am

Before minimalism became a mainstream lifestyle movement, Muji was already championing the concept. What began as a humble store in Tokyo’s Aoyama district in 1980 has since evolved into a global brand, offering over 7,000 thoughtfully designed products across more than 1,000 stores worldwide.

In the Philippines, Muji’s eight locations provide a wide range of offerings—from clothing and household essentials to food, furniture, and even interior design services. Its commitment to functionality and aesthetic simplicity reaches new heights with the opening of its flagship store in Makati City—Muji’s largest location in the country.

The launch of Muji Glorietta also marks the brand’s eighth anniversary in the Philippines. Spanning three expansive floors and covering approximately 2,600 square meters, the store features over 2,500 curated products, fan-favorite services, and new experiences that elevate the shopping journey for its Filipino customers.

During the official opening, Manila Bulletin Lifestyle toured the new Muji store to discover what it has to offer. Below are five experiences you shouldn’t miss:

To deepen customer understanding of its brand philosophy, Muji has set up a “What is Muji?” exhibit on the ground floor. The display outlines the brand’s history, minimalist design ethos, and commitment to practical, high-quality products. Visitors can also explore iconic Muji items and learn more about its thoughtful manufacturing processes.

Muji Philippines’ flagship store is located in Glorietta 3 (Levels 1, 2, and 3), and is open daily—Monday to Thursday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Friday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
