Ginza Sony Park Redevelopment Season 2

An experimental, ever-changing park with a series of subterranean attractions, Ginza Sony Park began its season 2 of their redevelopment from October 2020. The new season is expected to last until September 2021, transforming the park into a more “flatter” park in the middle of the city than before. Until the park closes in 2021 to start the construction of the new Ginza Sony Park building, season 2 of the redevelopment opens 3 new shops and closes the ones before and will host a number of events in collaboration with different artists and creators.

Café & Shops

Season 1 of the redevelopment featured a couple of noteworthy cafes and shops, but in exchange to those, 3 new shops have opened. On B1, Gen Gen An Phantom, a modern version of a "teahouse" that creates new ways to enjoy tea leaves through the fusion of tradition and modern culture, opened in November 2020. Unlike the conventional sweets for tea, the store takes a new attempt to provide chocolates and western sweets that match with the traditional Japanese tea.
