A new lifestyle

LaLaport TOKYO-BAY was built on the site of a former amusement center in April of 1981. This first LaLaport included Japan's first drive-in movie theater, an open court, a theater for plays, and a culture center, making it a completely different type of retail property. Mitsui Fudosan continued to remodel and add floor space as the years went on, to keep pace with changing times and customer needs. LaLaport continues to evolve as it introduces new lifestyles, and offers a changing variety of services.
