　In April 1981, Mitsui Fudosan.Co established the store referring to Ala Moana Center in Hawaii. At the time there are 200stores in the moll, but it had already been one of the largest shopping moll in Japan.  The name was often changed; at first it had been called “LaLaport-Funabashi shopping center”, then was called “TOKYO-BAY LaLaport”, after that the name “LaLaport TOKYO-BAY” has been used.  Now, LaLaport TOKYO-BAY has various events all over seasons therefore 25 million people come there throughout a year. And this year LaLaport sees its 30th birthday come round. For renewal, WEST buildings are going to be closed January 29 and the sale of it has been held now.
