From “Nihonbashi Revival” to “Japan Revival.
From the past to the future, we are working on “value creation” that the times demand from a long-term perspective.
New attractions to be created in the city, such as commercial buildings and development zones
Coredo Nihonbashi
The office and commercial complex development was completed in 2004 in the middle of Nihonbashi, where the two main commercial and financial districts intersect. The exterior, which is composed of a combination of arched glass and stone, is reminiscent of a sailing ship with its sails unfurled to catch the wind.
Coredo Muromachi 1 (Muromachi Higashi Mitsui Building)
Under the concept of “Nihonbashi enlivening Japan,” the complex incorporates modern innovations while respecting the history of Nihonbashi. It consists of a commercial zone with a variety of restaurants and stores, and Nihonbashi Mitsui Hall, one of the largest multi-purpose halls in the Nihonbashi area, which can be used by people of all ages.
Coredo Muromachi 2 (Muromachi Higashi Mitsui Building)
The complex combines dining and entertainment, including traditional old stores with new business formats, a lively zone with restaurants and food shops (B1F) based on the concept of “Freshly Made Today,” and Nihonbashi’s first movie theater “Toho Cinemas Nihonbashi” (13F). Naka-Dori Street, which borders Coredo Muromachi, is lined with long-established stores decorated with noren (traditional Japanese curtains) and andon (Japanese lanterns) motifs, creating a pleasant atmosphere for walking along the street.
Coredo Muromachi 3 (Muromachi Chibagin Mitsui Building)
This complex houses a total of 30 stores, mainly general merchandise stores that propose new styles of “food, clothing, and housing items” by combining “quality Japanese goods” and “beautiful things” with our modern lifestyles, as well as restaurants, food shops, etc. It also features a Japanese-style rental space, the first of its kind in Japan for a commercial facility, and proposes a new “Nihonbashi style.”
Fukutoku Garden
Completed on September 28, 2016. The garden provides people with a place to relax as a space covering more than 1,000㎡ adjoining the Fukutoku Shrine, which was reconstructed in 2014. It also serves as an event space that is open to residents, organizations, and businesses in the surrounding area, and aims to be a hub where people can gather and interact, create new local communities, and communicate with each other.
Nihonbashi Takashimaya Mitsui Building
Construction completed on June 30, 2018. This large-scale complex consists of 32 floors above ground and 5 floors below, with a total floor area of approximately 148,000㎡, including offices and commercial facilities. The joint operator’s commercial facilities in the lower floors include the Nihonbashi Takashimaya S.C. New Building (specialty stores), Yamamotoyama, and Mikuniya, which opened on September 25, 2018.
Coredo Muromachi Terrace (Nihonbashi Muromachi Mitsui Tower)
Construction completed on March 28, 2019. This large-scale complex is the flagship project of Stage 2 of the Nihonbashi Revitalization Plan which will further accelerate the revitalization and globalization of the Nihonbashi area. Coredo Muromachi Terrace, a commercial facility with 31 stores, opened on September 27, 2019.

Creating vibrancy in cooperation with the community
Sakura Fes Nihonbashi
This event celebrates the spring season with various players in the community, including long-established restaurants, commercial establishments, hotels, etc., and disseminates the value of art, food, entertainment, and everything else the city has to offer.
Emergency security and safety initiatives
Development of a disaster prevention base
Temporary evacuation sites for people who have difficulty returning home in the event of an earthquake disaster, and disaster drills have been conducted in cooperation with the local community. The Nihonbashi Muromachi Mitsui Tower is also equipped with an energy center that supplies electricity and heat to the community in the event of an emergency, thereby enhancing BCP (business continuity plan) functions.
