Plaza characteristics

This plaza takes on the theme of sports and lets you experience a range of competitive events and meet with famous athletes, holds events like the public viewing of competitive sports matches relating to the Tokyo Olympics/Paralympics, sets up a market and food trucks, and hosts a wide variety of other goings-on.

A mini track (70 meters around) and areas in front of stores are paved with thermal-insulated cork; with consideration to safety should anyone fall. Other areas in the plaza are built with thermal insulation and the middle of the track is made with artificial turf on which users can sit or lay down and alleviate the summer's heat.

Name's origin and logo

This is a plaza in which anyone can be the star. The plaza's name, "HIROBAs", plays on the pronunciation of "hero", "heroine", and "hiroba" (meaning "plaza" in Japanese) as well as the Japanese pronunciation for "bus" in remembrance of the plaza's location on the former site of a bus terminal through which masses of residents passed for over half a century, and owes the "MITSUKOSHI mae" part of its name (meaning "in front of Mitsukoshi") to the naming rights granted by Nagoya Mitsukoshi Ltd. The logo's design combines the shape of a track with the greenery of the park.
