About the Project

Overview As part of a plan to improve the appeal of Osaka Castle Park, this complex was created by converting the Osaka City Museum (former headquarters of the 4th Army Division) into a historic building located in the same Honmaru area as Osaka Castle. We were responsible for Facility Concept Planning, merchandising planning, Interior Design Supervision, Leasing for key tenants Design, Layout, Production, Construction.
Issues/Themes The Honmaru area where the facility is located does not have Restaurants where visitors can relax, resulting in short stays and lost opportunities. In order to solve this issue, improve the convenience of park users, increase the overall appeal of the park, and increase the profitability of operators, a utilization plan was created that takes advantage of the facility's historical value and potential.
Space Solution/Realization Taking advantage of the atmosphere of the building, we invited restaurant and banquet operator Positive dream persons Inc. to open "THE LANDMARK SQUARE OSAKA" on the second, third and rooftop floors, and established new Restaurants. We proposed to create a new scene in Osaka Castle Park, where guests can enjoy a meal in a historic Western-style building while looking at the castle tower up close, making the most of the location's potential. We also aimed to create a facility that would appeal to Japanese sensibilities while attracting Asian Tourism, who make up the majority of visitors to the park, and would be loved by both locals and Tourism from Japan and overseas.
