The Co-op of University of the Ryukyus (the Central Store)

There are two co-ops in University of the Ryukyus: Chu-ou Ten(the central sore) and Kitaguchi Ten(the northern branch), and I’d especially like to focus on Chu-ou Ten. It is a white, two-floor building located on nearly center of the site of Ryudai, selling a variety of food, beverages, confectionery, books, texts, magazines, dictionaries and stationery. Now, let’s go inside; going up the slope to open the door, then you may encounter a pillar on your right, and the shop stands over there. Chu-ou Ten consists of three sections; the food and drink corner, stationery corner, and book corner. The food and drink corner occupies the left space, the nearest to the entrance. Food is lined on the far-left four shelves, confectionery is taking the next three shelves, and beverages are cooled behind them. Stationery corner is located on the center of the shop and sells a variety of pens, erasers, notes, and files. Notes and printing paper is displayed on the left shelf and pens and erasers line on the opposite, and files and binders stand on the back shelf. The rest of the space is assigned to the book corner, which is selling books, novels, magazines and dictionaries. Chu-ou Ten is loved by the students and teachers of Ryudai.
