OZ garden

OZ Garden is an underground shopping complex in Ōzone 3-chōme featuring multiple levels with retail stores, restaurants, and entertainment options connected by spacious corridors and open areas. The entire facility efficiently uses subterranean space to create a cohesive shopping and leisure experience.

The complex opened in December 2006, marking a significant shift in Nagoya's approach to underground space development for commerce and leisure. This project helped establish the model for modern subterranean shopping districts in the city.

The marketplace blends local shopping customs with global retail styles, where neighborhood merchants and international brands operate side by side in this subterranean setting.

The facility maintains consistent temperatures year-round and connects directly to public transit stations for easy access. Multiple street-level entrances provide different routes depending on which station or neighborhood you approach from.

The passages are designed to guide natural light from street-level entries deep into the underground levels in surprising ways. This creates an unusually bright environment below ground, avoiding the typical darkness you might expect from a subway system.
