Bicqlo Big Camera Shinjukuhigashiguchi

Yes it’s a bit of a tourist trip, BUT sometime tourist traps are good such as this Bicqulo.
I love this location, convenient and huge!
It combines my love for Uniqlo with great electronic shop.
This location sells EVERYTHING: cameras, Beauty products, drug store products, toys, snack, lights, clothes and many more.
The staffs often speaks more than just Japanese, often Chinese or English as well.
The Tax free process is fast and easy.

I was incredibly excited to visit Bicqlo when I heard about it — I’m a huge Uniqlo fan, and I love photography and cameras. Had never been to a Bic Camera, but was still as excited as a kid going to Disneyland.
Bicqlo is easy to find, but our two visits were a bust. I don’t know if it was the tour groups, holiday season or location, but the Uniqlo floors were just punishingly crowded. The Uniqlo in Ginza was a lot easier to breathe in on the same weekend.
Bic Camera is more of a department store or Best Buy with a large photography section than a dedicated camera store; I liked seeing the stock of films, but I was really hoping for antiques and a huge used section. My fault for not reading up beforehand.
I still like the idea of Bicqlo, but we had a better experience with standalone stores.

I went over to Bicqlo to buy some overly expensive clothes like all the rest of the foreigners and this place around Christmas time is packed beyond belief. I spent about 100 dollars and remember the times in china I spent 100 dollars and walked out with 2 bags full of clothes but at Bicqlo I walked out with four items. Luckily the P-​coat I wanted was on sale for half price, otherwise it would have been one item. Yay for ridiculously overpriced Uniqlo items where everything is made in china and three times as expensive. So the place is technically two stores. Uniqlo clothing and Big Camera electronic items the 1^st floor and three basement floors are full of electronics from the first floor up is all clothing items. The place is crowded all the time and during the holidays becomes a mad house. It’s the biggest Uniqo in all of Japan and a tourist haven for Chinese tourist to say they went shopping in Japan and now dress like a supermodel. So almost all the staff speaks English and Chinese. So if you need help in any language you can find someone to help you. Also there’s tons of employees at your service. There’s also lots of annoying yelling in Japanese about sales going on. Yay. Reminds me of Chinese grocery stores. Take me back :-D and the selection is insane and all average to super expensive prices. What more could you want for your japanese shopping experience. So make sure you head over to Bicqlo if you want to spend your money on something other than sake and a bad massage from a girl punching you in the back saying «relax shite iru? Enjoy :-D

This huge complex has Uniqlo, Bic Camera, and GU (7^th floor). It’s convenient but they don’t even function as one whole, so I’m confused to why they merged these three shops into one.
We came here to do some tax-​free shopping, because my travel companion has an unhealthy obsession with Uniqlo. The stupid part is that Bic Camera and Uniqlo still function separately in terms of tax papers. So you have to make the limit at Uniqlo and make the limit at Bic Camera to have all your items be tax-​free — bullshit.
It’s mostly a gimmick and it’s full of tourists. I would’ve given it two stars… except the fact that service is accommodating for tourists. If you speak Chinese, they have hired sales personnel who speak Chinese to help with the tourists. Unfortunately, they still do not speak English.
Tip: Take your shoes off in the fitting room.

Uniqlo, Bic Camera and GU all in one building= the ultimate tourist shopping center. Okay, the GU really isn’t that great/​even known to tourists, but it’s also in the building. The Uniqlo and Bic Camera occupy 6 floors and the GU is located on the seventh floor.
This Uniqlo carries a special line of Nippon T-​shirts for the large gaijin crowd. They also have a larger selection of Disney, Japanese cartoon and Star Wars T-​shirts than other Uniqlo stores.
GU is a cheaper, «more Asian» version of Uniqlo. The quality isn’t very good and I can’t see the outfits being worn outside of Tokyo. They have a HUGE selection of tank tops with built in bras for 990 yen (way cheaper than Uniqlo) that a ton of people were buying, but the bras fit weird/​look weird. I feel very MEH about this store.
Bic Camera is the same as other Bic Cameras in the in the city– every electronic you could imagine crammed into 6 floors.
Make sure you bring your passport! Tax free shopping for foreigners :)

This place is a tourist trap. Don’t be fooled. While the prospect of finding affordable clothing at the same time as you get whatever electronics you may be lacking in your life in one fell swoop may seem attractive, you’re not the only person who is thinking this. I guarantee it. So what does this lead to? Really long lines for dressing rooms, for one thing.
However, I will say that it’s a pretty big location, so the selection is robust. Also, if you want to use the duty-​free stuff, this is one of the stores that can handle that. For residents, it’s pretty «meh» though.

1) How many Bic Cameras does one city really need?
2) How many Uniqlos does Tokyo really need?
3) The merging of both is the beginning of a city takeover.
All that aside, it’s in a great location between Shinjuku san chome and Shinjuku stations. A lot of Bic Cameras let you buy certain items duty free if you’re on a tourist visa, which can be nice for some. Its just odd to go ip tje different floors and seeing clothes feet from electronics. My husband bought a Gundam during a good sale, and I bought sake on the same floor that they sold CDs and DVDs. Which just seemed really puzzling.

This store is too bad to me.
Because the store which was here before this is built was much better than this.
There is no good point for everyone.
This is the combination store of Big camera and Yunikuro.
But there is Big camera and Yunikuro in Shinjuku near here.
So there is no need for this store.
This should search for and meet the demand.
Otherwise, this is the worst store in Shinjuku ever.
If I try to find a good point here very very hard, I can say that this is open till night.
I think this is open one hour later than other stores like this.
But it is only, only one hour.
