LaQua Spa at Tokyo Dome
Alternative Big Ideas, related guest programming, and creative treatments were prepared for various redevelopment schemes at Korakuen Amusement Park. First phases of redevelopment resulting from this consulting effort have included the development of LaQua, an indoor spa complex with real hot spring water, which opened to the public in 2003. LaQua is now a highly popular relaxation oasis in the center of busy Tokyo Prefecture, featuring real hot spring pools, saunas, relaxation space and various massage and beauty services. The hot spring water is brought to the surface from a depth of more than one kilometer.
Tokyo Dome City is a leisure complex in central Tokyo consisting of the Tokyo Dome baseball stadium, an amusement park, the LaQua spa, a variety of shops and restaurants and Tokyo Dome Hotel. At one time the amusement complex was known as Korakuen, named after the former baseball stadium, which in turn was named after nearby Japanese landscape garden Koishikawa Korakuen.
Korakuen is an in-town amusement park situated on grounds of Tokyo Dome in the section of Tokyo Prefecture.
