After the second world war, in the wake of the Japanese economic boom, also Shibuya Tokoen increased in size.
With the arrival of the first Japanese television broadcasting channel in 1953, the company began to create gardens for on-set shootings, an occupation it still carries out to this day. In the sixties, at Takashimaya’s first flagship department store in Tokyo, Shibuya Tokoen built a roof garden using, for the first time in a business building, an in-house artificially developed light soil. A few years later, at another shop belonging to the same chain, a green area of about 4,000m² was developed on the roof, as well as a green wall which was added in 1994.
At the end of the nineties, it was the first company in Japan to introduce the sale of indoor plants, creating a new trend in the use of greenery and continuing to affirm itself as leading company in its sector.
