Aeon Lounge in Japan
By the way, there are numerous Aeon lounges located in Aeon malls in Japan. Unfortunately, credit card issued in Thailand cannot be used here.

Aeon Lounge at Central World
At Central World, Aeon branch is located at 4th floor, where other major banks also have their branches.
Ok, let’s get inside the lounge space. Staff actually asked my passport only needed to present credit card. It might not be needed but I recommend all to bring for verification purpose. Staff seems checking my passport number in their system.
*I came here many times and never asked to show credit card. They seem to check from my passport number only and ID card number for Thai people.
New entrance system
From May 2023, entrance policy was changed a bit. Customer required to scan QR code at bank entrance then get queue number for counter then show ID when called.
Even new system installed, almost nobody are using this…
Select AEON lounge first.
Then input phone number.
Got queue number for counter process.
Wait for queue number called.
Open the door recognizing your face on touch screen. Actually staff will open the door by manual.
Entire lounge space with luxurious atmosphere, offering enough seating space around 15 seats inside.
4 counter chair was newly installed to accommodate more guests from Dec 2022.
There is one staff in the counter bar, you can ask drinks and snacks to offer. Coffee can be refilled.
Snack sample.
Once I am seated, Staff approached and offered drink and snack. Snack menu will be changed 4 times per month. This time, small hotdog is available so I ordered. Snacks will be out of stock around 4 pm even on weekday and much earlier on weekends. You must come early to get one unless otherwise you will get only drinks.
Drink menu
Snack menu offers 4 different ones per month.
Food delivered as packaged for hygiene purpose.
Small sized but nice tasty hotdog with condiment.
Charging outlet is equipped with each table. While taking some rest during your shopping time, do not forget to charge the phones.
Sofa seat is also clean and good to be seated. Again this lounge service is completely free for card holders, that is really nice, you cannot miss to utilize.
Ok! That’s all the interior and service of Aeon Lounge at Central World. I could charge my phone, enjoy hot black coffee before going to watch football game on the day. If you are coming often here, I highly advise you to have one Aeon credit card so that you can enjoy lounge service 4 times per month same as me!
The other day, I talked with server lady in the lounge, she said snacks are prepared 130 sets per day and 200 for weekend. Normally by 15:00 all stocks are gone. On weekends much earlier of course.
See ya.
