[Daimaru Kobe] The 'Green Plaza' is reborn. The 8th-floor 'Midori no Hiroba' has been renovated! A picnic event will also be held in the new space.

On February 28th (Sat), the 'Midori no Hiroba' (Green Plaza) rest area on the west side of the 8th floor of the Daimaru Kobe store reopened after a renovation. The lawn area has been transformed into a space wrapped in vibrant, soothing greenery. The number of benches has been significantly increased, making it a more comfortable place to relax than ever before. Furthermore, trees and flowers that change color with the seasons have been planted around the plaza, allowing visitors to feel the passage of nature with every visit. Please use the new 'Midori no Hiroba' for a quick break or while shopping. ★Enjoy 'Cherry Blossoms' in spring! The new 'Midori no Hiroba' is planted with five types of cherry blossoms. You can enjoy them in sequence from the end of March to mid-April. Please come and enjoy cherry blossom viewing! [Forecasts] Yoko Cherry: March 20 (Fri) - April 5 (Sun); Fuji Cherry: March 30 (Mon) - April 10 (Fri); Somei Yoshino: March 30 (Mon) - April 10 (Fri); Yama Cherry: April 1 (Wed) - April 12 (Sun); Yang Guifei: April 10 (Fri) - April 20 (Mon). ★Other Upgrades: We have installed dry mist on the pergola to combat summer heat, and planted wisteria for shade (expected to be in full bloom by Golden Week 2027). We have also reused wood decks from public facilities along the Hyogo Canal for the wall-side benches and installed tables made from large trees from the Rokujo Hachiman Shrine in Kita-ku, Kobe.
