Google announced that it will open a flagship store in Tokyo, Japan. 'Google Store Omotesando' is virtually the first retail store Google opens outside the US.
Visitors to the store can "see and purchase a variety of Google products, including Google Pixel smartphones, Google Nest products, Google FitBit devices, and accessories, as well as partner brand products." They can also experience Google's latest 'AI experiences' and try out Google services firsthand.
In addition, like Apple's Genius Bar, the Google Store will have staff on hand to assist with Google Pixel repairs, setup support, and troubleshooting. Workshops will also be held at the store when it opens this summer in Omotesando. Google explained that the opening of the Tokyo store follows the same decision as the establishment of its first overseas office in Japan.
Strictly speaking, this is the first full-fledged store Google has opened outside the US. In Canada, Google has set up 'shop-in-shops' within some Best Buy stores.
