A large multi-purpose complex directly connected to JR Kumamoto Station, this 9-story building stands out as a landmark worthy of Kumamoto’s gateway.

With a retail area of Approx. 49,200 square meters, its spacious floors are home to more than 180 shops and restaurants. The lineup covers a wide range of categories, including fashion, gourmet food, lifestyle goods, and entertainment, with a supermarket, movie theater, and hotel also listed on the floor map.

Beyond its appealing tenants, the soaring atrium space that runs continuously from the 1st to the 7th floor has also become a highlight. Named the multilevel garden “Boken no Mori,” this area features a 10-meter waterfall, objects made from natural stone and rock, and an abundance of trees and plants, creating an indoor space where visitors can experience the feel of nature in every season.

There are also plenty of playful touches that make shopping more fun, including a giant ceramic panel featuring the popular manga “ONE PICE” and hidden Kumamon characters scattered throughout the facility.

    The area around Kumamoto Station is extremely convenient, and the nearby AMU PLAZA Kumamoto is a major shopping destination.

    Inside, you'll find a wide selection of Japanese clothing brands, household goods, and a well-stocked fresh food supermarket, making it a great place to browse and shop. It's also a true dessert paradise. You can try “honeycomb ice cream” topped with a whole piece of real, natural honeycomb, enjoy the exceptionally rich and creamy “ASO MILK” soft serve from Aso, or buy a bottle of milk to savor at your leisure.

    After leaving the mall and heading back into the station, don't miss the freshly baked croissants from the popular il FORNO del Mignon, where there's always a line. They're fragrant, crisp, and perfectly browned. Step outside to the station plaza, and you can hop right onto Kumamoto's century-old streetcar and travel through the city to the sound of its cheerful dinging. The connections are seamless, easy, and convenient!

    It's right next to Kumamoto Station, so it's very convenient to get to. There are lots of clothing stores, variety shops, restaurants, and souvenir shops inside. It's comfortable to walk around and doesn't feel as overwhelming as a large department store.

    When you get tired of shopping, you can stop at one of the many restaurants for a meal. I especially like browsing here along with Kumamoto Station. It's convenient for shopping, eating, and waiting for your train. If you're traveling to Kumamoto and passing through the station, I highly recommend setting aside some time to walk around and browse.

    The signs were easy to follow, and the shopping area was compact with tons of options. At checkout, the staff kindly let us know that closing time was approaching and that we should hurry. They even offered us a discount!
