GiGO Shopping Plaza at Izumichuo Station Set to Grand Open

On September 19, 2025, the much-anticipated "GiGO Izumichuo Shopping Plaza Selva" will officially open its doors on the fifth floor of the Shopping Plaza Selva, located adjacent to the Izumichuo Station on Sendai City's Nambu Line. This venture is a significant addition by Genda GiGO Entertainment, the parent company headquartered in Tokyo's Minato ward.

A New Icon in Sendai

The Izumichuo area, recognized as a secondary urban hub in Sendai, has recently been honored as the second best location in the "Most Livable Town Award 2023 in Miyagi." The local government has also earmarked this district for development within its Urban Planning Master Plan, heralding further enhancements to urban infrastructure and accessibility.

The Shopping Plaza Selva itself is a vibrant regional shopping center that houses approximately 100 specialty shops, including clothing, lifestyle goods, restaurants, cafes, and essential services. Just a one-minute walk from the Izumichuo Station, it is easily accessible by bus and car, making it a prime destination for both locals and visitors from beyond the area.

A Hub for Gaming Enthusiasts

GiGO Izumichuo will feature an impressive total of 99 gaming machines, primarily centered around 83 crane games, alongside music games, arcade action, children's games, and print seal machines. This variety caters to a wide age demographic, ensuring there’s something enjoyable for everyone. The arcade promises to offer an eclectic mix of the latest prize items related to popular characters, along with exclusive events and rewards unique to GiGO, embodying the spirit of excitement and entertainment.

Not only is it designed as a recreational spot, but its convenient location makes it an easy stop for people looking to take a break amidst shopping or errands, truly a community space aimed at engaging a wide array of visitors and enhancing their experience in the area.
