Offering an unprecedented creative experience with hands-on latest drones and medium-format cameras, an indoor drone flight cage, and 1-on-1 support from multilingual dedicated specialists

TOKYO, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DJI, the global leader in innovative aerial and imaging technology, will announce that SEKIDO Co., Ltd., an authorized domestic distributor, will hold the grand opening of the "DJI | Hasselblad Authorized Concept Store Tokyo Omotesando" in the Omotesando area of Tokyo on Saturday, October 31, 2026. This dual-concept store allows visitors to experience the combined worlds of DJI and Hasselblad, the Swedish premium camera brand boasting over 180 years of history as the pinnacle of medium-format photography.

The store consists of two floors, the first and second floors above ground, bringing together the world's finest imaging technologies, from DJI's latest drones, handheld gimbals, and action cameras to Hasselblad's flagship medium-format digital camera systems. The store features a permanent indoor "Drone Flight Cage" for actual flight and operational experiences. It also offers 1-on-1 personalized consulting by expert staff and a multilingual support system (Japanese, English, and Chinese), strongly backing the expressive activities of all creators from Japan and abroad.

  • Background and Aim of Opening: A Permanent Flagship Hub to Meet the Growing Demand for "Real-World Experience and Expert Consultation"

The use of DJI products has been rapidly expanding in the Japanese market across a wide range of fields, including aerial photography, film and commercial production, still photography, and even industrial applications such as surveying and infrastructure inspection.

In recent years, while the demand for high-performance imaging equipment for creators has further increased, many customers have voiced their desire for real-world experiential value, stating, "I want to check the actual operational feel, image quality, and holding grip before purchasing," and "I want to consult professionals to select the optimal equipment for my specific production needs and shooting environments." For highly advanced equipment like drones in particular, it is extremely crucial to verify the intuitive operability and shooting sensation, which are difficult to convey solely through spec sheets and online information.

In response to these changing market dynamics, we decided to open a store in "Tokyo Omotesando," an epicenter of trends and culture. This permanent flagship hub integrates "product experience," "expert consulting," and "experiencing the brand's world view," which cannot be fully covered by online sales and short-term events alone. We aim to create an open creative community space for all visual expressers, from highly sensitive top creators domestically and internationally to entry-level enthusiasts aspiring to begin serious content creation.

  • 4 Key Highlights of "DJI Hasselblad Authorized Concept Store Tokyo Omotesando"

1. [Brand Convergence] A Dual-Concept Store to Experience the Worlds of DJI and Hasselblad

"DJI," which develops innovative imaging technologies, and "Hasselblad," which continues to support photographic expression as a historic medium-format camera brand. This is a new, dual-concept official store where the craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology of both brands intersect in a single space. From still images to motion pictures, and from the ground to the sky, we offer an equipment lineup that supports diverse creative activities.

2. [Real Experience] Indoor Drone Flight Cage & Product Touch & Try

On the 1st floor, a dedicated "Drone Flight Cage" is permanently installed, allowing visitors to safely fly and pilot drones. Without worrying about weather conditions or restricted flight areas, you can directly experience the hovering stability, camera operation, and control responsiveness of the latest drones on the spot. In addition, handheld cameras and gimbals such as the Osmo series led by the latest Osmo 360 II and Osmo Pocket 4P, as well as the Hasselblad medium-format cameras on the 2nd floor, are all displayed fully powered on, allowing you to freely pick them up and experience shooting.

3. [Expert Consultation] 1-on-1 Personalized Support System by Dedicated Specialists

Expert staff who are thoroughly familiar with product knowledge and on-site shooting know-how are permanently stationed at the store. We propose the optimal equipment configuration and peripheral accessories tailored to each customer's shooting style, application, and business implementation goals. From comparing products to lectures on initial setup and consultation after introduction, we politely address all questions before and after purchase on a 1-on-1 basis.

4. [Global] Trilingual Support (Japanese, English, Chinese) to Fully Accommodate Inbound Demand

Tailored to the internationally diverse location of Omotesando, not only Japanese but also English and Chinese communication will be supported at the store. We have established a hospitable environment where international tourists and overseas business visitors can experience, purchase, and process tax exemptions for high-end equipment with peace of mind, without feeling any language barriers.

New Personalized Diploma Program builds on ISHCMC's academic legacy, offering greater choice for Grades 11 and 12 while retaining the full IB Diploma Programme.

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The International School Ho Chi Minh City (ISHCMC) will introduce a new Personalized Diploma Program (PDP) from August 2027, expanding academic choices for students in Grades 11 and 12 alongside its established International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP).

Building on a learning community shaped by generations of students, educators and families since 1993, the expanded model gives students more ways to shape their senior studies around their strengths, interests and future ambitions. Through a combination of academic choice and educator guidance, ISHCMC aims to help each student make informed decisions about their next steps while contributing to a community that continues to grow with every generation.

Different pathways. A future shaped over generations.

The full IBDP will remain an important part of ISHCMC's academic offering. The PDP provides an alternative for students seeking a different combination of subjects, bringing together individual IB Diploma courses, Advanced Placement (AP) courses and ISHCMC courses within a personalized program.

Both pathways lead to the ISHCMC High School Diploma, with additional qualifications available depending on the courses taken and assessments completed. Students completing the full IBDP may also earn the IB Diploma by meeting the International Baccalaureate's requirements. Students following the PDP may earn individual IB course and AP certificates, depending on their course choices and assessment results.

The expanded model recognizes that students may have different interests, strengths and intended university destinations. Rather than expecting every student to follow the same route, ISHCMC will support students in exploring the options available and building an academic program suited to their goals.

"At ISHCMC, every generation benefits from what those before them have built, while adding something of their own. Expanding our academic pathways is about giving students more ways to build on their strengths, pursue their ambitions and shape their futures, supported by the experience and community that have grown here over generations." Mr. Marco Longmore, Head of School.

Guidance that carries learning forward

Choosing a senior academic pathway is an important decision for students and their families. University requirements vary by country, institution and degree program, making informed subject selection an essential part of planning for life after school.

ISHCMC's High School and Future Pathways teams will work with students and families to explore course options, understand relevant university entry requirements and make considered decisions about their academic direction. Both pathways can support university applications, with eligibility depending on the qualifications completed and the requirements of each university and program.

The PDP is not intended to be a less demanding alternative to the full IBDP. It offers a different way to structure senior studies around individual goals and course choices, with the expectations and requirements of each course remaining central to the student's academic experience.

"Every student's next steps will look different, and our role is to help them understand what those steps require. By working closely with students and families, we can connect individual interests with informed academic choices, helping students approach their future plans with greater clarity and purpose." Mr. Kohulan Jeganathan, High School Principal.

The new model will begin in August 2027. Ahead of entry into Grades 11 and 12, ISHCMC will work with students and families to explain the available pathways, explore course options and support planning for the transition into senior school. Families can contact the ISHCMC High School and Future Pathways teams to discuss the options and relevant academic requirements.

About the International School Ho Chi Minh City

Established in 1993, the International School Ho Chi Minh City (ISHCMC) is a full-continuum IB international school in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, offering education from Early Years through Grade 12. Its community brings together families from more than 60 nationalities.
