A contest was held to select the name of the building, and Tokimachiba (a combination of the Japanese characters for ‘time’, ‘wait’, and ‘place’) was selected based on the kind sentiment of the winning contestant who said she wanted “this place to make time spent waiting for the bus more rewarding, if even just a little bit.”
