Shibuya PARCO will open its grand opening on November 22. Opened in 1973, after a suspension due to the rebuilding work for about three years from 2016, he returns to Koen-dori St. in Shibuya. Let's explore the history of the changing streets of Shibuya and its culture.
Opened in 1973 at Koen-dori St. (then: Kuyakusho-dori St.).
A source of new culture that coexists with the city of Shibuya.
At the time of Shibuya PARCO opening, the advertising slogan is "The people who pass each other are beautiful ~ Shibuya Koen-dori St. ~". We worked not only as a place for shopping, but also to improve the environment of the city in line with the city of Shibuya, where consumers of the new era gather. Plant beautiful street lights, street trees and flowers that imitate the lily of the lily of the Koen-dori St. in Shibuya, and change even the telephone box stylishly. The creation of a city in anticipation of an era in which longings and ideas for Western lifestyles drastically changed Japanese values attracted many young people to Shibuya and Koen-dori St.
Theatre, museum, and gallery space.
To support the success of new creators.
It is rare for commercial facilities at that time, and has been actively exhibiting works by creators active in that era, such as designers and artists. In 1973, at the same time as Shibuya PARCO opened the Seibu Theater (now PARCO THEATER) and performed a number of popular works as a pioneer in production performances. In 1986, "Space Part 3" was opened as a multi-purpose space for video, performance, exhibitions, etc. After that, PARCO Gallery and Museum bases were born. In 1988, the live house "Shibuya Club Quatro" was born, and in 1993, the satellite studio "Shibuya Spainzaka Studio" of TOKYO FM was born. And in 1999, the movie theater "Sine Quint", which led the mini theater boom, opened, showing unique and high-quality works regardless of genre. Shibuya PARCO has supported the diverse culture of Shibuya, including art, music, theater. It will be reborn on November 22, 2019.

On November 22, 2019, the mini theater "WHITE CINE QUINTO" was born in Shibuya PARCO.
The mini theater "WHITE CINE QUINTO" will debut on the 8th floor of Shibuya PARCO. This facility is expected to be a place for encounters with new cultures that transcend the boundaries of cinema. The opening work is Yayoi Kusama's documentary film "Yayo Kusama II INFINITY". This work is highly affinity with Mr. Kusama, who continued his creative activities alone in New York in the 1960s, and Shibuya PARCO, who continued to support the early activities of Japanese up-and-coming creators.

PARCO THEATER Reborn! From January 24, 2020, Kokera Fall!
PARCO THEATER also opens on the 8th floor. A premium theater with 636 seats will be born, inheriting the sense of unity between the stage of the old theater and the audience seats. Following the performance of "Shinosuke Rakugo in PARCO", which has been performed since 1996, and the recital drama "Love Letters", which will celebrate the 30th anniversary of next year, the opening series of 14 works will be held from March 13, when the grand opening will be held.
In addition, you can't miss the gallery space "GALLERY X BY PARCO" (B1F), which will be relocated from Shibuya Spainzaka, as well as the first gallery-type shop. I would like you to see the new steps of Shibuya PARCO.
