Chayamachi Plaza
This first floor open space in the Mainichi Broadcasting System (MBS) Headquarters creates a broadcast studio that opens towards the city.
• Chayamachi Plaza lobby: This event space also serves as the entrance to the broadcast studio. Equipped with Dachs Vision, a long lateral row of six connected monitors, the Tully’s Coffee café has 100 seats, while the Liyon Daily Store convenience store also sells MBS goods. This space is always filled with some kind of energy.
