LaLaport SHIN MISATO

LaLaport Shin-Misato is a LaLaport mall-style shopping center located in Misato City, Saitama Prefecture. Its shopping floors are divided into an outdoor-style mall and an indoor mall, offering a wide range of options including fashion, furniture, lifestyle goods, and dining, making it a popular spot for visitors of all ages. Family travelers also love the attractions here, such as Thomas Town for kids and Yoshimoto’s interactive aquarium, a facility that displays 10,000 fish. You will often see fathers taking children to Thomas Town while mothers enjoy shopping. Right next door is Costco Shin-Misato, and with IKEA Shin-Misato also opening nearby, a free circular shuttle bus runs between them, creating a highly popular shopping zone locals describe as “If you’re shopping, this is the area!” (With a huge area of 510,000 m², buses are essential.) Many events are held throughout the year, including joint sales and lucky-bag promotions, so visitors looking for something specific should check what is on. Access to LaLaport Shin-Misato is extremely convenient, as it is directly connected to the west exit of Shin-Misato Station on the JR Musashino Line.
