Orchid Park

Orchid Park (オーキッドパーク) is a shopping center located in Gifu City, Gifu Prefecture, Japan. It is operated and managed by Edion Corporation, a major Japanese electronics retailer. The facility was developed by Eiden (エイデン, now part of Edion) on city-owned land in the Kōran district, a redevelopment area created on the former site of Gifu Freight Station following the Gifu Station elevated railway project. The name "Orchid" derives from the district name "Kōran" (香蘭), which includes the character for orchid. The shopping center consists of two main buildings: the West Building (西棟) and the East Building (東棟), connected by a second-floor sky corridor. The site area is approximately 1.3 hectares, and the buildings are four-story steel-frame structures. The West Building houses the core Edion electronics store, which closed on June 16, 2024, as well as various tenants including ATMs, a 100-yen shop, a hamburger shop, Nitori EXPRESS, a kimono school, a children's English conversation school, a pension consultation desk, a café, an insurance window, and a qualification school. The East Building includes a Trial Super Center supermarket operating 24 hours, a beauty salon, a rock bath, hair salon, mobile phone shops, and a school uniform shop. Orchid Park is situated about 1 km west of the north exit of JR Gifu Station, with the nearest bus stop being "Murakami Kinen Byōin-mae" on Gifu Bus. The north side of the facility is adjacent to the city's multi-purpose plaza "Kōran Green Park," which is integrated with Orchid Park. The shopping center has 630 parking spaces. In 2021, Edion's fixed-term land lease expired, and a new operator recruitment was conducted based on a proposal system for a 10-year extension from 2021 to 2031. Edion continued to receive the lease. After the fixed-term land lease ends at the end of February 2031, the building is planned to be transferred to Gifu City and become the campus of a new four-year municipal university (Gifu City Women's Junior College converted to co-educational four-year).

Orchid Park was developed by Eiden (エイデン, later Edion) on a redevelopment area in the Kōran district of Gifu City, on the former site of Gifu Freight Station after the Gifu Station elevated railway project. The facility was built on city-owned land with a business-purpose land lease. The name "Orchid" comes from the district name "Kōran" (香蘭). The shopping center consists of the West Building (in District 14) and the East Building (in District 10), connected by a second-floor sky corridor. The site area is approximately 1.3 hectares, and the buildings are four-story steel-frame structures. To the north is the city's multi-purpose plaza "Kōran Green Park," which is integrated with Orchid Park. In terms of tenants, the East Building's food supermarket was initially "Gifu Flante-kan" operated by Yamanaka, which opened on November 9, 2001, but closed on September 24, 2017. The site was later occupied by Super Center Trial Orchid Park Store, which opened on March 17, 2021. The West Building housed the core Edion electronics store, which closed on June 16, 2024. Other tenants have included various shops and services such as ATMs, a 100-yen shop, a hamburger shop, Nitori EXPRESS, a kimono school, a children's English conversation school, a pension consultation desk, a café, an insurance window, and a qualification school.
