　On December 16, 2022, "MUJI The Venetian Macao", the first MUJI store in Macao, opened with an area of 1950 m2, largest in the Macao and Hong Kong region. There were no MUJI stores around Macao, so customers in Macao had to visit MUJI stores in Hong Kong, which was about an hour's drive away.

■Opened in the Shopping Mall of a Casino Resort
　The Venetian Macao is an integrated resort in Macao, which is a special administrative region of China located in southern China. Macao was a Portuguese territory from the 16th century until 1999, when it was returned to China. The city has many buildings and parks that have been preserved as world heritage sites from its time as a Portuguese colony. Macao is also a casino resort destination, attracting tourists from all over the world, including mainland China, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia.
