GREEN SPRINGS

What GREEN SPRINGS does

GREEN SPRINGS (グリーンスプリングス) is a 3.9-hectare mixed-use commercial complex located in Tachikawa, Tokyo (Midori-cho 3-1, 立川市緑町3番1), developed and operated by Tachihi Group (立飛グループ). The site, acquired from the Japanese national government via public tender on 2015-01-27, is directly adjacent to Showa Memorial Park (国営昭和記念公園), one of Tokyo's largest national parks, and represents approximately 1/25 of Tachikawa City's total land area. The complex opened in March 2020 after construction began in 2018 and is described by management as the largest single investment in Tachihi's nearly 100-year history and explicitly characterized as a "company-wide bet" (社運をかけたプロジェクト). Architecture is led by Takumi Shimizu (清水卓) of Studio Takumi Shimizu; landscape master design is led by Tatsuya Hiraga (平賀達也) of Landscape Plus; project coordination is led by Kenichi Kubo (久保憲一) of Framework Inc.

The complex integrates retail, dining, hospitality, education, culture, family entertainment, and startup support under a "well-being town" (ウェルビーイングタウン) concept linking sky, earth, and people. Wholly-owned operating subsidiaries and anchor facilities include TACHIKAWA STAGE GARDEN (a 2,500-seat multi-purpose hall — the largest in the Tama area), SORANO HOTEL (a well-being-themed hotel), PLAY! MUSEUM (picture-book and manga art museum), PLAY! PARK (indoor children's creative playground), TOKYO GLOBAL GATEWAY GREEN SPRINGS (immersive English language facility operated jointly with the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education), and startup support facilities including TOKYO創業ステーションTAMA (operated with the Tokyo Small and Medium Enterprise Promotion Corporation) and Startup Hub Tokyo. The site features 350+ plant species curated as part of a designed landscape.

Revenue is generated through five streams: (i) tenant lease and rental income from third-party retailers, restaurants, and offices; (ii) direct operating revenue from wholly-owned subsidiaries (hotel, concert hall, museums); (iii) transaction-based admission fees at PLAY! MUSEUM and PLAY! PARK; (iv) subscription / recurring fees for TOKYO GLOBAL GATEWAY English immersion and STEAM programs; and (v) one-time event space rentals (Public Square 567 sqm, Atrium, Living Room W, Living Room E). Go-to-market relies on physical footfall driven by anchor-tenant diversity, supported by multi-language digital channels (English, Korean, Simplified/Traditional Chinese, Japanese), LINE mobile ordering via miniapp, the WELL-BEING CLASS programming series, and a recurring events calendar (TACHIKAWA JAZZ NIGHT, GREEN GROWN MARCHE, Street Piano). Customer segments span general consumers and families in the Tama region, K-12 and adult learners, lifestyle- and wellness-oriented consumers, and aspiring entrepreneurs. Day-to-day management is led by Executive Officer Tomoyuki Yokoyama (横山友之) and President Masamichi Murayama (村山正道) of Tachihi Holdings.

The sale came with strict conditions: the site must include a 10,000 sqm culture/facility unique to the Tama region, cannot be used for residential construction, and is subject to aviation height restrictions due to proximity to 立川飛行場 and 横田飛行場.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• AEON Mall: Japan's largest shopping mall operator with regional/suburban large-format malls across the country. Comparable to GREEN SPRINGS in scale, suburban Tokyo exposure, and family-oriented tenant mix, though AEON Mall focuses on pure retail rather than cultural/hospitality programming.
• Marunouchi (Shin-Marunouchi Building): Mitsubishi Estate's Marunouchi business district redevelopment combining offices, retail, dining, hotel, and art programming (Marunouchi Street Gallery). Comparable to GREEN SPRINGS in mixing cultural programming with retail/office and targeting commuter and visitor footfall.

Direct peers

• Roppongi Hills: Mori Building's flagship mixed-use complex combining Mori Tower offices, Grand Hyatt hotel, retail, cinema, TV Asahi headquarters, and Mori Art Museum. Comparable to GREEN SPRINGS as a Tokyo large-format, multi-anchor destination where cultural facilities (museum, observatory) anchor retail and hotel economics.
• Tokyo Midtown: Large-scale mixed-use complex in Roppongi operated by Mitsui Fudosan combining hotel (The Ritz-Carlton), retail, F&B, museum (21_21 DESIGN SIGHT), and landscaped public spaces. Closely comparable to GREEN SPRINGS as a multi-anchor urban destination with a designated cultural facility and master-designed landscape.
• Lumine (JR East): JR East's station-integrated mixed-use complexes (Shinjuku, Shibuya, Yokohama, Tachikawa). Directly comparable because Lumine Tachikawa operates adjacent to Tachikawa Station alongside GREEN SPRINGS, and the format combines retail, F&B, and cultural/event tenants with station footfall.
• Yokohama Landmark Tower / Minato Mirai: Mitsubishi Estate's mixed-use destination in Yokohama combining a 70-floor tower, the Royal Park Hotel, Landmark Plaza retail, and museums (Cup Noodles Museum, Yokohama Museum of Art). Comparable to GREEN SPRINGS as a planned mixed-use destination with cultural anchors around a hotel/office core.
• Shibuya Hikarie: Tokyu Corporation's mixed-use tower directly above Shibuya Station combining offices, the Hikarie Hall cultural venue, retail, and dining. Comparable to GREEN SPRINGS as a station-adjacent, entertainment-plus-retail destination with cultural-programming tenants.
• Tokyu Plaza: Tokyu's urban mixed-use retail complexes (Omotesando, Shibuya, Ginza, etc.) combining flagship retail, dining, and curated experiential tenants. Comparable to GREEN SPRINGS in positioning curated lifestyle/retail with cultural and event elements in a Tokyo metropolitan setting.
• LaLaport (Mitsui Fudosan): Mitsui Fudosan's nationwide large-format shopping mall chain. Highly relevant because Tachihi Group itself developed ららぽーと立川立飛, and the LaLaport format (large footprint, broad tenant mix, family-oriented entertainment anchors) is the closest operating model to GREEN SPRINGS.

Emerging players

• Haneda Airport Garden: Recently opened (2023) mixed-use complex directly connected to Haneda Airport terminal, combining hotel, retail, F&B, onsen, and event spaces. Comparable to GREEN SPRINGS as a transport-adjacent destination complex combining hotel, retail, and event programming — though targeting international travelers rather than local/suburban visitors.
