YOKOTA AIR BASE – The Yokota Air Base Exchange is turning heads and noses with the grand opening of the first ever Bath & Body Works store in Mainland Japan and Tokyo.

To commemorate the project’s completion, the Yokota Air Base Exchange team hosted a grand opening ceremony on July 23. Cutting the ribbon at the grand opening were 374th Air Wing Deputy Commander Col. Donovan Laskey, Exchange Commander Pacific Region Col. Jason Beck, Exchange Senior Enlisted Leader Pacific Region SGM Thomas Terry and Yokota Exchange General Manager Andrew Defelice.

“We’re proud to bring a comforting slice of home to our military families stationed here in Japan,” said Yokota Exchange General Manager Andrew Defelice. “From signature scents to seasonal favorites, shoppers can enjoy the same Bath & Body Works experience they know and love from back in the States.”

Shoppers can find bath and skincare products, fragrances and more at the store, which also features scented candles from its sister concept White Barn.

The Bath & Body Works will be located at Bldg. 570, Unit 5203, APO, AP, 96328 and is open Monday through Saturday 1000-2000 and from 1000 to 1900 on Sunday. For more information, call 469-375-7519.
