What’s New

Komatsu Station is now brighter than ever before!

On December 1, a new projection mapping attraction was launched, the largest of its kind along the Sea of Japan!

Lighting up the walkway between Komatsu Station and Science Hills Komatsu (along the soon to be opened Henn na Hotel) is now a colorful virtual world that comes to live every night.

In commemoration of the city’s 80th anniversary, we’ve affectionately named this new community spot Komatsu 80 Square (pronounced hachimaru square).

It is quite hard to describe in words so here is a video preview instead:

Program

Time: Every night, 5:30PM~9PM
