IMS, or InterMediaStation, is a shopping and culture center in central Tenjin. It is accessible from Watanabe dori and from the Tenjin Chikagai. The building is round and very easy to spot. The first couple of floors in the building is all about shopping. There are several different brands, and be sure to check out the first floor for a 300-yen shop and an International Plaza with various international products (including Swedish!).

Higher up you can find car retailers, so if you are looking to buy a car this is perfect for you I have no idea how they got the cars up to those floors in the first place, but that’s just a part of the magic I guess.

In the middle of the building there are usually some activities or commercial of some sort, and in February there is a “Love Festa” here where you can write your secret love message to your special someone.

It might be good to know that there also is an “International Forum” in IMS, so if you are foreign visitor, or want to make friends with foreigners this is the place for you.
