2.Overview of Commercial Area

Commercial Area, First Floor

The commercial area is located on the first and second floors of the facility, and features a retail space covering approximately 3,124 square meters. The area is based on the concept of “premium foods and restaurants” and will be home to a total of 34 stores, including both local stores as well as stores and businesses new to Kanazawa. CROSS GATE LOUNGE, a communication lounge where visitors can eat the foods they have purchased, has been established on the first floor. Its vibrant artworks communicate the spirit of Kanazawa—Kutani ware, a traditional Kanazawa craft, decorates wall-mounted shelves, while the lighting is inspired by the ball-shaped handicrafts known as “Kaga temari”—and enables visitors to come into contact with the city’s cuisine, culture, and art.

The design of the communal space on the second floor has been inspired by the Higashi Chaya District, one of Kanazawa’s most popular tourist locations; the space’s latticed walls take after the traditional local craft, “Kumiko zaiku,” while its flooring resembles stone-paving. Visitors will be treated to a serene atmosphere that makes them feel as if they are walking through the Higashi Chaya District itself. The communal space is an area where locals can freely drop by, and where tourists can feel welcome.
