Kiːno Wakayama

Kiːno Wakayama (キーノ和歌山) is a mixed-use complex developed around Nankai Electric Railway's Wakayamashi Station in Wakayama City, Japan. It comprises an office building (the Nankai Wakayamashi Station Building), a parking building, a commercial building, a hotel building, and a public facility building housing the Wakayama Civic Library. The commercial zone is a shopping mall operated by Nankai Electric Railway, and the hotel is the Candeo Hotels Nankai Wakayama. The name "Kiːno" references the historical "Kii-no-kuni" (Kii Province) and is intended to evoke a "key" that opens new doors and a place of encounters and beginnings. The complex was built in phases as part of the Wakayamashi Station redevelopment. The office building was completed in March 2017, and the ticket gates were relocated from the second floor to the first floor in July 2017. The parking building was completed in June 2018. In August 2019 the overall name "Kiːno Wakayama" was announced, and the Wakayama Civic Library partially opened in December 2019. The commercial zone had its grand opening on June 5, 2020, with the library fully opening the same day, and Candeo Hotels Nankai Wakayama opened on July 3, 2020. The commercial zone spans the first through third floors of the commercial building and the first through third floors of the hotel building. The first floor is a daily-use floor featuring Rock Star Farms (fresh food), Matsumoto Kiyoshi (the first in Wakayama Prefecture, marking the chain's presence in all 47 prefectures), Menya Joroku, Café Sakaba Pronto, Daiwa Securities Wakayama Branch, and a Wakayama Bus information and ticket counter. The second floor is a restaurant floor with venues such as Hatsugano Terrace, Unagi Mizuki, Mushi Dining MusuMusu, Kaisen Restaurant Kanpachi-ya, Heiwa Saketen (a concept shop of Heiwa Shuzo), Taiheiyo Sakaba, Gyatoru, Atsugiri Tonkatsu Yoshihei, Soba Udon Shinanoji, Kitagawa Gyuji, and Desai-ko. The third floor focuses on beauty and health, with clinics, Futatsuka Pharmacy, Natural Garden, Ziehl Instile, Central Sports Gym 24 Studio Yoga Pis, and Kaikatsu CLUB. The public facility building houses the Wakayama Civic Library, along with a Tsutaya bookstore and a Starbucks Coffee Tsutaya Bookstore Wakayama Civic Library store. The library is the first in the Kansai region to be managed by Culture Convenience Club (CCC), which owns Tsutaya. The complex also includes the Wakayama City Child-Rearing Support Center "Sodachi no Eki Kusunoki" on the fourth floor and bicycle parking on the mezzanine. Kiːno Wakayama serves as a gateway to Wakayama and aims to be a symbol and revitalization flagship for the surrounding area. It is directly connected to the station and bus terminal via a second-floor deck, and the office building features a column-free space and seismic performance 1.25 times the legal standard. The mascot character "Kinomaru," designed by Aya Ito, is based on the "mountain" of Wakayama.
