Why You Should Visit

For two evenings, the lawn plaza right outside Shimin Hiroba station on the Port Liner turns into an open-air cinema. Saturday screens The Secret Life of Pets and Sunday screens Sing — both family-friendly animations. Gates open at 17:30 and films start around 18:30 once it gets dark. Admission is free, and food trucks and gourmet booths are on site, so you can eat outdoors while waiting for the show in the evening breeze. Easy to enjoy even with small children.
