The site occupies a highly visible location facing Hanamizuki-dori Avenue that runs from the North Exit of the train station. This avenue is a key corridor for community activity, used by people day by day for shopping and for commuting to work and school. The area at the North Exit of the station is undergoing phased streetscape enhancement, including walkway expansion and pavement beautification, and has become a safe and comfortable pedestrian space. Every spring, the area's Hanamizuki Festival attracts many residents of the community and surrounding areas, creating a lively atmosphere and sense of unity in the neighborhood. This plan, which will be undertaken in an appealing location rooted in the lifestyle base and the culture of the community, is expected to play a key role in the retail functions that support everyday convenience, and to generate an even more lively environment in the future.
