Designing Station Spaces at Keihan Hirakatashi Station


Reuse Long-Lasting, Adaptable Homes

Keihan Hirakatashi Station, the first station space designed by MUJI,


celebrated its grand opening in December 2018. Hirakatashi Station is
located in a major city of the northern Osaka area, with the third larg-

CLUB day. In this project, the concept of “community development starting
from the station” that was the aspiration of Keihan Hirakatashi Station,
was integrated with MUJI’s concept of “a simple, pleasant life.” Design-
ing the station space transformed the train station into a hub that
brings together the community. A plaza was built between the MUJI
store and the ticket gates, and a “collaborative marché” was held in
which people and producers active in the community participated. In
the ticket gate area, the small supermarket Hirakata Moyoriichi, run

jointly by the station and a commercial facilit y, showcases MUJI’s
frozen food, retort pouch food products and snacks. MUJI will continue
to leverage station spaces to support the lifestyles of local residents.

MUJI has launched a new series of frozen food for the
dinner table that captures the delicious tastes of fresh-made
food. We offer about 50 products in transparent packages
that reveal the contents, which are based on the five themes
of “prepared food making the most of ingredients,” “global
rice meals making the most of ingredients,” “Japanese-style
yumcha,” “stews from around the world,” and “freshly
baked deliciousness.” With no chemical additives, this
line-up gives customers peace of mind and supports them
in getting meals on the table every day. As of the end of
February 2019, these frozen foods were sold at 13 stores in
Japan and the MUJI online store. Going forward, MUJI aims
to serve even more customers by increasing the number of
items in our lineup and the number of stores that carry our
frozen foods.
