Overview
KAEDE WALK Nagatsuda is a mall-style shopping center located in Nagatsuda Minamidai, Midori-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. It is managed and operated by UNY Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Pan Pacific International Holdings (the parent of Don Quijote). The facility originally opened in November 2005 as Apita Nagatsuda, a general merchandise store (GMS) that served as the commercial core of the newly developed Nagatsuda Minamidai residential area. In November 2024, the facility was rebranded as KAEDE WALK Nagatsuda following a large-scale renovation of the Apita store and a partial renewal of the specialty store zone. The name "Kaede" (maple) refers to the maple tree, which is the official tree of Midori-ku. It is the 15th "WALK" mall-style shopping center operated by UNY. The center is anchored by Apita Nagatsuda, which continues to operate as the core store. The Apita zone occupies the first and second floors, with food and daily necessities on the first floor and apparel and children's goods on the second floor. The first floor also features "Zakka Soko," a UNY-operated lifestyle goods in-shop brand that was revived after 31 years in Yokohama. The specialty store area surrounds the Apita zone and includes a mix of fashion, food, services, and entertainment tenants. Notable tenants include Uniqlo, ABC-Mart, Nojima, Kumazawa Bookstore, 3COINS+plus, and a food court with McDonald's, Ringer Hut, and Baskin-Robbins. The facility also offers various services such as a kids' club, majica loyalty program, and community spaces. KAEDE WALK Nagatsuda is positioned as a community-oriented shopping destination that aims to support the daily lives of local residents. Its concept is "Good Colorful Place" — a place where people can enjoy shopping, dining, and leisure in a comfortable environment. The center has been a site of experimental initiatives for UNY, including the first net supermarket in the Tokyo metropolitan area (later discontinued) and the first coin exchange machine "Coin Star" in Asia. The facility is accessible by bus from nearby train stations and serves the surrounding residential community.
History
KAEDE WALK Nagatsuda opened on November 18, 2005, as Apita Nagatsuda, a general merchandise store (GMS) developed as the core commercial facility of the Nagatsuda Minamidai residential area in Yokohama's Midori-ku. The area was developed through a land readjustment project by the Urban Renaissance Agency, Yokohama City Mirai, and Yokohama City. Because it opened in the 2000s, the store was branded "Apita" from the start, rather than being converted from older UNY or Sun Terrace brands. It served as UNY's flagship store in the Kanto region and was the site of several experimental initiatives. In June 2012, it became the first Apita store in the Tokyo metropolitan area to introduce a net supermarket service, though this was later discontinued. In 2018, it introduced "Coin Star," Asia's first coin exchange machine. In April 2020, following the acquisition of UNY by Don Quijote, UNY announced its withdrawal from the net supermarket business, and the service ended on August 31, 2020. On November 22, 2024, the facility was renovated and renamed KAEDE WALK Nagatsuda, with Apita Nagatsuda continuing as the core store. The name "Kaede" (maple) is derived from the maple tree, the official tree of Midori-ku. This was the 15th "WALK" mall-style shopping center for UNY. The renovation repositioned specialty stores around the "Apita Zone," and revived the "Zakka Soko" brand for lifestyle goods on the first floor, a brand first used in 1991 and now returning to Yokohama after 31 years.
