Our Experience: Waiting at Uniqlo Tenjin, Fukuoka
We visited the Mina Tenjin store, conveniently located in Fukuoka's Tenjin district. The UTme! corner has its own dedicated space within the Mina Tenjin building.

When we went on a weekday evening around 7 PM, there was no waiting line, so we were able to start designing right away. The staff were super friendly and helpful, making the process easy even for first-timers!

Production took about an hour. The basic t-shirt plus printing cost 1,990 JPY. Don't forget, if your purchase is 5,500 JPY or more, you're eligible for tax-free shopping!

Wearing Review
Once the t-shirt was ready, we were genuinely impressed with the quality. The printing was crisp and clean, and it felt like excellent value for the price. It's truly a fantastic souvenir from your Japan trip or a thoughtful gift!

For reference, here’s how an XL size fit me (5 feet 4 inches / 110 pounds).
It has a comfortable, relaxed, oversized fit.


There are sample shirts in various sizes available in the store, so make sure to try them on before finalizing your order!

Overall Verdict
The printing quality exceeded our expectations, and the collar felt sturdy, suggesting it will hold up well even after multiple washes without losing its shape.
We highly recommend this experience for:
✔️ Anyone looking for a truly unique souvenir from their Fukuoka trip.
✔️ Friends or families wanting to create matching custom t-shirts.
