Tim Cook greets Apple fans at Tokyo store reopening

Tim Cook greeted excited Apple fans at the reopening of its redesigned store in Tokyo's Ginza district on Friday. Hundreds line up outside the tech giant's store, high-fiving and taking selfies with the Apple CEO on their way in.

“This reopening was another incredible milestone on our journey here in Japan, and a symbol of our strong ties to customers and communities across the country,” Cook said in a media statement. In Cook’s last trip to Japan in 2022, he traveled to the semiconductor hub of Kumamoto.

During that trip, he announced Apple would invest more than $100 billion in its Japan development over a five-year period. Apple also said it had increased its supply spending in Japan by more than 30% since 2019.
