Combining shopping and dining, a literary bookstore, a natural ecological experience area, a picnic lawn, and other facilities, it forms an unprecedented all-in-one mall format — definitely a new must-visit attraction for your trip to Japan.
In recent years, Nagoya tourism has continued to heat up. Mitsui Fudosan Group, skilled in creating various types of commercial facilities, has specifically targeted the port area of Central Japan, which boasts a seaport, aquarium, Ferris wheel, and observation deck, to develop a new shopping destination — Mitsui Shopping Park LaLaport NAGOYA MINATO AQULS, which grandly opened on September 28 this year.
After shopping, you can head to the outdoor plaza on the west side of LaLaport to rest, have a picnic, and enjoy the natural scenery
The complex includes a series of high-sensitivity brands such as Japan’s super-popular literary bookstore “Tsutaya Bookstore,” the California-born fashion and accessories brand “RHC RON HERMAN,” the beloved “MUJI” and “LOFT,” the trendy skincare brand “ALBION DRESSER” and home brand “MARKS & WEB,” as well as a variety of popular restaurants, totaling 217 stores to meet the needs of all age groups.

As soon as you step into Mitsui Shopping Park LaLaport NAGOYA MINATO AQULS, on the right side of the entrance is the ultra-popular literary bookstore “Tsutaya Bookstore.” Designed around the theme of “WITH FAMILY,” it carefully creates a relaxing atmosphere like a cozy living room, emphasizing family shared reading time. Visitors can immerse themselves in the rich scent of books and the gentle lighting and decor, select a few books from the shelves, and head to the dedicated café area to enjoy a cup of aromatic coffee while getting lost between the lines, spending a leisurely and relaxing break.
