Apple CEO Tim Cook is currently in Tokyo and has shared a photo taken outside the Apple Ginza store, which reopens tomorrow with an all-new design.
Cook also shared a photo of himself meeting Pikachu, the Pokémon mascot, and described Japan as a gamer’s paradise …
Cook has so far tweeted two photos and a video of his visit to Tokyo. Given his presence in the city, it seems near-certain he will be attending tomorrow’s reopening of the Ginza store.
In the first, taken outside the store, he says that nowhere else in the world has the energy of Tokyo.
A short video shows him meeting Japanese games developer Bandai Namco, complete with dancing Pikachu.
Pikachu is a yellow mouse which acts as the official mascot for the Pokémon franchise. The character appears in multiple games, including Pokémon Go and Pokémon Trading Card Game, and is also sold as merchandise.
Cook also visited the Hie Shrine.
It’s uncertain when the first version was built, with conflicting stories citing 1362 and 1478. Since then it has been relocated and destroyed several times, most recently during World War II. The current version was constructed in 1958.
The Shrine contains one of Japan’s official National Treasures, a single-edged sword known as a tachi.
