SAKURA MACHI Kumamoto

This plan centers on the redevelopment of one of Japan’s largest bus terminals, which overlooks Kumamoto Castle to the north, and envisions a large-scale complex integrating commercial, cultural, lodging, residential, and office functions.
Designed to draw local residents in from the outside, the entrance features a radial design extending from the eaves to the ceiling. A commercial event space is located here to foster connectivity with the surrounding open spaces.
In addition, the terraced low-rise section incorporates numerous retail stores with direct access from the outside, designed to enhance circulation throughout the entire facility—including the rooftop garden.
