The new mall created by the second-stage expansion will be named “Maple Mall,” and this mall will house 45 new stores, including Hokkaido’s first American Eagle Outfitters store, a Gap Outlet store and a Nike Factory Store.

Out of the 49 new stores to be added, 35 outlet stores will be seen in Hokkaido for the first time (including 3 outlet stores making their first appearance in Japan)

After opening, the new expanded mall is expected to attract 5 million visitors in its first year of operation, including tourists from overseas, becoming the leading outlet mall in the Hokkaido/Tohoku area

  • Since the original opening in 2010, foreign tourists especially from Taiwan and China have been increasing.

Recently, foreign tourists from Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and other parts of Southeast Asia have also been increasing.

Latest services are available to enable overseas visitors to spend time comfortably, including family members of all ages

  • This facility is an indoor (enclosed) mall with the parking lot also partially covered, so visitors can enjoy shopping in any season and whatever the weather is like.
  • A kids’ space is provided so that customers bringing their children can enjoy shopping comfortably.
  • Space has been made available in the food court to accommodate tourist groups.
  • Both “Clover Mall” and “Maple Mall” offer Wi-Fi that enables visitors to use the Internet on their devices free of charge.
  • A prayer room is available for customers that feel the need to pray during their shopping activities.
  • Mall staff that can speak foreign languages wear easily identifiable badges showing the language services they can offer.
