A・SQUARE

A・SQUARE was opened in 1996 under the concept of "our usual square for unexpected excitement.” It has been renewed a few times since its establishment to update it according to timely changes in lifestyle. This shopping center is conveniently located just a short walk from JR Kusatsu Station, making it accessible for local customers. The big parking lot for 3,000 cars also allows for easy and convenient access.

There are many different types of shops in this enormous center. The Al Plaza Kusatsu offers all kinds of products for daily life; Dioworld is one of the largest home improvement centers in the region; the SARA specialty area, offers a wide choice of the retail stores and specialty shops, ranging from fashion to amusement; and the Center Food Village and North Food Village contains a wide variety of restaurants and cafes.

Benches and tables are installed throughout this open-air spacious facility so visitors can take a break in-between shopping or dining. A・Place, a gallery & community space, regularly holds art exhibitions.
There is also an outdoor event stage at Ayaka Plaza in the south area for a variety of events.

One of the main attractions of A・SQUARE is its seasonal decorations. These artful exhibitions presented by the facility includes the "Umbrella Patio" with 380 colorful umbrellas, and the "Path of Wind Chimes and Japanese Umbrellas," with its lovely sounds of wind chimes and colorful array of Japanese umbrellas; all of these features make strolling about the shopping mall a pleasure for the visitors.

With its imaginative attractions going beyond the standard framework of a shopping center, you will find your day full of unexpected excitement.
