LaLaport TOKYO-BAY was opened in April 1981 as the “LaLaport Funabashi
Shopping Center”. This large shopping mall, housing 200 specialty shops,
as well as cultural facilities, sports facilities, and other
conveniences, was one of a kind at that time in Japan. It was praised
for its early response to a motorized society by offering a parking lot
for 4,000 cars.
In 1988, “LaLaport 2” was opened and hosted a variety of interesting
features, including a cinema complex and other amenities. The name,
LaLaport Funabashi Shopping Center, was then changed to “LaLaport
TOKYO-BAY” and additional entertainment was included. Further
developments included “Harbor Grill”, with a combination of food culture
and entertainment, as well as a renovated “LaLaport 2”.
In 2000, “LaLaport 3” was established to present a model of advanced
urban lifestyle, with “LaLaport WEST” opening at the former Funabashi
Sogo department store building in 2001. With this new development,
involving a large-scale specialized store, LaLaport was able to
supplement various functions which had been difficult to realize in
shopping malls. In 2005, Japan’s first bakery food theme park, “Tokyo
Bakery Street”, was opened in “LaLaport EAST”.
LaLaport TOKYO-BAY is home to 540 stores, with 8,200 parking spaces.
Committed to further development, it aims to be one of the largest
shopping centers in Japan, adapting to ever-changing trends and needs
and providing new experiences for its customers.
