Already establishing itself as a new landmark, EXPOCITY delivers an exciting retail experience by combining shopping, entertainment and education.

To provide visitors with the ultimate climate comfort, Yanmar GHP (gas heat pump) air-conditioning systems were selected not only for their reputation of reliability, but also for their reduced energy consumption and broad power range. With environmental conservation in high priority, Yanmar's air-conditioning systems consume 90% less electricity compared to electric heat pump (EHP) systems. In addition, by using Yanmar’s own gas engines, they lead the industry in ultra-silent operation for maximum user comfort. To ensure continuous operation 10 "High Power Plus"¹ emergency units are on year round standby to supply power the event of electrical failures.

EXPOCITY is a much anticipated mega shopping experience attracting visitors from all over Japan and around the globe.
