“…Several studies have identified the characteristics of supermarket locations. For example, Ito (1978) and Ikuta (1991) analyzed the deployment of supermarkets in Keihanshin metropolitan areas, and Ito (1982) and Neda (1985Neda ( , 1989 analyzed the locations of supermarkets in regional towns. These studies revealed that supermarket location points included not only suburban areas but also each city's central shopping streets and central business districts.…”

This study reviews geographical studies on Japan's retailing systems. Retail system studies encompass several topics: 1) economic growth and retail development in the 1960s, 2) retail format diversification beginning in the 1980s, 3) informatization in Japan's distribution systems, 4) suburban retailing development in the 1990s, and 5) Japan's distribution system internationalization. To explain these themes comprehensively, this study sets up two domains, "retail store location" and "retail chain management, " both of which are related to each other. For example, information and delivery networks have influenced store locations, because chain stores try to reduce total delivery costs as far as possible by store location strategies, for instance, high density store networks for convenience store chains. This study aims to explain how retail chains developed their own networks in Japanese consumer markets and impacted and restructured Japanese retailing systems.

“…Two main factors corresponding respectively to higher and lower levels are extracted in the study of two regional cities, Sapporo and Fukuoka (ITOH, 1982). In a study of Sendai, on the basis of com parative analyses carried out in 1972 and 1981, it was concluded that, while retail activities con tinued to agglomerate more in central areas, a dispersed pattern appeared in surrounding areas (NEDA, 1985). The classification of commercial centers was also attempted in factorial studies of this kind and, moreover, the existence of a hierar chical central place system was discovered.…”
