They turned a beloved skate park into a park and a mall. Good or bad? I actually think it's pretty cool, considering I kept hearing it was supposed to be a big hotel. Although closed at the time of this review, as of Aug. 4th, there will be a few eateries/food booths that I think many people, especially foreigners and visitors tired of eating sushi and ramen (if that's possible) might be interested in, such as: Eggslut, Panda Express, Taco Bell, and Jamba Juice, among a slew of other food spots from the US.
In addition to some small boutique shops there's several high end designers shops. There's also a small area that may serve as a mini art exhibition/museum, which at the opening week featured the art of street artist KYNE, who specializes in simple art of young women, which he originally posted as stickers all over major Japanese cities.
The top of the mall is a open area featuring a "beach" volleyball area, a climbing wall, and a skate park, which the original Miyashita Park was famous for. Personally, although I loved the original park, this new version of a mall and park combined is better than a hotel that I thought was supposed to go up.
