According to Tim Cook (@tim_cook), Apple has officially reopened its Ginza store, marking a renewed commitment to the Japanese market. While the announcement focuses on the store’s historical significance, this reopening aligns with Apple’s ongoing integration of AI-driven experiences in retail environments. Apple Ginza is expected to leverage AI-powered customer service, intelligent product recommendations, and advanced in-store analytics, reflecting the company's global strategy to enhance customer engagement through artificial intelligence. This move demonstrates significant business opportunities for AI application in retail, especially in high-tech markets like Japan, and sets a benchmark for how global brands can connect with consumers through innovative AI solutions (source: Tim Cook, Twitter, Sep 26, 2025).
