Celebrating 15 Years of Tama Plaza Terrace

Tama Plaza Terrace, a community-oriented shopping facility operated by Tokyu Malls Development based in Shibuya, Tokyo, is set to celebrate its 15th anniversary on October 7, 2025.

Founded in 2010 with the mission of becoming more than just a shopping destination, Tama Plaza Terrace aimed to create a space where community members would shine and enjoy rich, fulfilling lives.

Among them is a unique notebook designed with 15 floral motifs and shining foil accents, exclusively available at the plaza's store, Smith. A total of 38 stores will present special merchandise and novelties commemorating the anniversary.

On November 1, alumni of Nippon Sport Science University and acclaimed gymnast Kohei Uchimura will talk about his memories from Aoba Ward during his school days, insights on reaching the pinnacle of gymnastics, and his activities post-retirement. The talks promise to be both engaging and inspiring, offering attendees a glimpse into the life of someone hailed as "the greatest gymnast of all time".

In addition to these events, the plaza will host a vibrant mix of activities every weekend from September 20 to November 3.
