We will create a space filled with liveliness, where diverse people can gather and meet, and contribute to attractive neighborhood creation as a new community base for Kadoma City, and as a retail facility representative of Osaka.

Mama with LaLaport - Reflecting on Feedback from Fathers and Mothers

The Mitsui Fudosan Group understands that parents would like to freely enjoy shopping even when they have to look after their small children. As such, the Mama with LaLaport project to realize their aspirations started with in-house suggestions from working parents at Mitsui Fudosan.

Based on a motto of making LaLaport facilities friendlier to mothers and fathers, the Mama with LaLaport initiative not only seeks to enhance the functions of facilities by adding nursing rooms and kids’ spaces based on advice from within and outside of Mitsui Fudosan and from customers, but also aims to hold events for parents and children to enjoy, and aims to be a facility friendly to those raising young children.

    We provide restrooms that can accommodate strollers, feeding rooms, and diaper-changing tables.
  • Relaxed meals with children
    Food courts with kids’ areas enable parents to enjoy eating without worrying about troubling others.
  • Enhanced children’s play space
    Kids’ play spaces have been set up so that children can have a chance to play during shopping trips.
  • Holding events for the whole family
    We hold a range of different events that parents and children can enjoy together.
