Guide
Park Place Oita is a large-scale commercial complex located in Koen-dori, Oita City, Oita Prefecture. It serves as a multifaceted hub where fashion, gourmet dining, and entertainment converge. Whether you are looking to shop for the latest trends, enjoy a delicious meal, or catch the latest blockbuster at the cinema, this facility caters to a wide range of needs. The complex also features an Aeon Park Place Oita branch, making it a convenient destination for both daily shopping and leisure activities during your travels in Japan.
Historically, this location was a local landmark known for its iconic 50-meter-tall Ferris wheel. The Ferris wheel, with its glowing neon lights at night, was a beloved symbol of the area. Following a redevelopment process, the site evolved into the modern commercial complex seen today. The current vibrant shopping area opened in 2012 on the site where the Ferris wheel once stood, marking a new era of commerce and community life in Oita.
Park Place Oita offers diverse-interest areas to ensure every visitor finds something to enjoy. You can explore various fashion boutiques, dine at the extensive restaurant zone with family and friends, or experience the latest films at the cinema area. The food terrace and restaurant zones are particularly popular across all age groups due to the wide variety of cuisines available.
