JR OITA CITY: The Station Complex that Changed the Game

The 21-story "JR OITA CITY" complex, with over 200 stores, opened at JR Kyushu's Oita Station in 2015. Thanks to this new shopping complex, ridership has increased significantly, positively affecting shops and businesses in the area. See how JR Kyushu worked together with the local community to successfully revitalize the region.
