Toyama Shimin Plaza is the centerpiece of a large cityscape revitalization project. It is comprised of a central atrium surrounded by a variety of smaller spaces, including an art gallery, music hall, theatre studio, civic learning center, foreign language school, restaurant, cafés, and shops. These program spaces are used to support the residents' cultural, art and learning activities, and are connected through continuous public areas.
