[Info] How to access “Collecte De Zikzin” opened in Shibuya, Tokyo
The shop “Collecte De Zikzin” just opened in Shibuya, Tokyo on January 11th, 2013. The four-story building opened only the 1st floor, accessory shop “Zikzin”. The items sold at Zikzin shop are JKS’ original brand. They are designed and produced by Jang Keun Suk. It is said the 2nd floor for cafe, 3rd floor for a nail salon and 4th floor for museum. It seems the all floor will open around this Spring. Today’s open wasn’t announced beforehand. Still, there was no official announcement from Frau or Tree-J company. But many eels were visiting before opening the shop. That’s why eels could spot the opening day.
Official website: Collecte De Zikzin
Opening hours: from 11 am to 10 pm, but temporarily from 11 am to 7 pm
Business days: not mentioned the shop holiday yet
Address: 1-15-2, Jinnan, Shibuya, Tokyo
Tel: +81 3-6277-5328
How to access: The shop “Collecte De Zikzin” is located very near “Salt and Tobacco Museum” in Shibuya, Tokyo. It’s easier for you to get there to use this museum as a landmark. About a 12-minute-walk takes you to the shop from JR Shibuya station. I found an English written map which shows the route to “Salt and Tobacco Museum (1-F)” from Shibuya station. It helps you to reach there. You can print out my hand-made map and close-up one, too ^^

Springsuk_USA’s Note: Actor Jang, Singer Jang, now one more title for Jang Keun Suk, Entrepreneur Jang!
As news reported before Jang Keun Suk had bought property in Shibuya, Tokyo, a multi-stories business building and he told media at a press conference that he would open his own store one day. Today, his first store in Shibuya, the golden area of Tokyo “Collecte De Zikzin” opened, it seems a trial opening or unofficially opening since there was no official announcement at all. But some eels still heard the rumor and they went to the shops, or maybe some by invitation as special guests. Here are from one eels’ weibo posts about the fist day opening. Building has several floors, seems so far only 1st floor is open.

The eels first spotted Jang Keun Suk’s parents and his bodyguard in Tokyo. So we know something is going on.
Ahh, the “Collete De Zikzin” Store!
