Haneda Terminal2 south Pier Food Area / Public Area is a public circular area in the second terminal building of Haneda airport in Tokyo and the area is to be shared with a sushi bar. Based upon a theme of a modernized bamboo forest, the area has a lot of columns and the top light lets the natural light in, so the air port users can easily recognize this free area. A Japanese casual dining eatery and a souvenir shop are next to this area and the former has curvy front to fit to the shape of this area. The architect Hisashi Hojin smartly thought that a commercial environmental project should be fused in public space as a free area to invite users openly.
