2019年からスタートした「Marunouchi Street Park」は、丸の内仲通りの今後の在り方や活用方法を検証する社会実験プロジェクトです。 冬季は「すごそう、冬のストリート」を空間コンセプトとして、約300メートルにわたる３つのブロックごとに、イルミネーションを楽しみながら五感で暖かさを感じられるシーンづくりをおこないました。 ブロック１は「Wonder Dining!」をテーマに、イルミネーションを楽しみながら食事ができるグラスハウス、ツリーハンモックやビッグチェスなど、遊び心満載のエリアを企画しました。 ブロック２は「Wonder Lounge!」をテーマに、総合案内とショップを兼ねた２階建てのヒュッテを中心としながら、購入したXmasカードを投函する炎を疑似演出したポストやイルミネーション下で楽しめるビリヤード台の設置、ストリートピアノを楽しみながらファイヤーピットで暖かくくつろげるシーンを演出しました。 ブロック３は「Wonder Terrace!」をテーマに、ミラーを敷き詰めた「光の回廊」や、暖炉のフェイクファイヤーを囲みながらアーティストが制作活動をする「アーティスト in ファイヤーテラス」などを設えました。 （開催期間：2021/12/2～12/25） 当社主催 「目の不自由な方のためのイルミネーションツアー 2021 winter」 本ツアーは「対話」をテーマに、本当の意味での“誰も”が“居心地の良い空間体験”をしていただくためのウォーキングツアーです。 目の不自由な方をボランティアスタッフがエスコートし、イルミネーションが綺麗な冬の仲通り内の３ブロック（全長約300ｍ）を 心も身体も温まるような対話をとおして楽しんでいただけるプログラムを目指しました。 “Marunouchi Street Park 2021 Summer”（8-9月）の開催時に、目の不自由な方の利用が見受けられたことから、生まれつき目の不自由な方へのヒアリングを実施 したところ、「私の行きたい場所は、一度行ってみて、良かった場所」、「初めての場所に行く時は最初の一歩が不安」、「丸の内が公園になっているなんて知らなかった」、そして「目が見えない分、想像力を含まらせて物事を楽しんでます」という結果が得られました。 そこで、「目の不自由な方にきちんと伝わる告知方法」、「安心なサポート付きでご案内すること」により丸の内の魅力を親切・丁寧に伝えることができれば、「また行ってみたい」と思っていただき、丸の内仲通りをもっと好きになってもらえるのではないか。そして“誰も”が「季節を感じ・つながり・すごせる」ことのきっかけづくりになってもらえるのではないか、という思いから、今回のツアーの実施に至りました。 ＜当社プロジェクトメンバー＞ 【プロジェクト統括ディレクター】鈴木 恵千代 【営業】石山 滋之、山本 仁美 【プランニング】CIC：齊藤 佑輔 【運営管理】CIC：安藤 薫 【デザイン】佐久間 統益、小澤 一樹、松原 美和 【建築アドバイザー】NAU：岡本 極 【制作】丸森 幸男、佐々木 郁弥、山口 悠太、川島 彩加 ～関連リンク～ 【お知らせ】 ・乃村工藝社主催 “Marunouchi Street Park Illumination Tour！” 【関連実績】 ・Marunouchi Street Park 2021 Summer

2019年からスタートした「Marunouchi Street Park」は、丸の内仲通りの今後の在り方や活用方法を検証する社会実験プロジェクトです。 夏季は「つながろう、夏のストリート」を空間コンセプトとして、丸の内らしい文化/地域/人とのつながりを意識しながら、約300メートルにわたる３つのブロックごとに、各々テーマ性をもたせて展開いたしました。 丸ビル前のブロック１は「Sports & Relax」をテーマに、卓球が楽しめるピンポンカウンターやバランスボールを配したデッキなど、体を動かしたりくつろぎながらリフレッシュができるウエルネスなストリートを計画。 ブロック２は「Enjoy Eating Out」をテーマに、アーティストによるSDGsをコンセプトとした屋外ライブペイントや、ストリートピアノを楽しみながら、フェアウッドに囲われたパークレット空間で食事をする楽しさを提供しています。 ブロック３では「PARKcation」をテーマに、風に揺れる草原の丘を表現した草に囲まれたワークプレイスやサイクルカウンター、沖縄の珊瑚砂を使った夏の浜辺のリゾートシーンなどを設え好評を博しました。 安全衛生面においても、台風やビル風の強風対策や、抗ウイルスコーティング剤を全体に噴霧する特別感染対策なども実施いたしました。（開催期間：2021/8/2～9/12） フェアウッドへの取り組みについて カウンターなどの造作物には、埼玉県飯能市で間伐された杉やカラマツの西川材を使用しています。特徴ある杉の「黒心」と呼ばれる心材や構造用合板など、木目や色味の特徴を活かしながら、意匠設計をおこないました。会期後、使用した一部の木材はリユースされ、役目を終えると再び自然に戻し、苗木・植林・育林へと循環させていきます。   ＜当社プロジェクトメンバー＞ 【プロジェクト統括ディレクター】鈴木 恵千代 【営業推進】石山 滋之、山本 仁美 【デザイン・設計】松原 美和、開澤 あゆ子、須藤 亮、佐久間 統益 【プランニング】CIC：齊藤 佑輔 【運営管理】CIC:安藤 薫 【制作】丸森 幸男、山口 悠太、吉田 琢人 ～関連リンク～ 【お知らせ】 ・乃村工藝社主催 “Marunouchi Street Park Illumination Tour！” 【関連実績】 ・Marunouchi Street Park 2021 Winter

1979年に創業したアワーグラスは、アジアを中心に10の都市にて29店舗を構え、50以上もの世界の最高級ブランドを取り扱い、群を抜いた品揃えを誇る高級時計専門店の国際企業です。2002年にオープンした銀座店は選りすぐりの時計を常時豊富に取りそろえ、時にはバーカウンターでシャンパングラスを傾け、ゆったりとしたソファで寛ぎながら、洗練された知識を持つ店員の方たちと対話を愉しみ、ゆっくり時計をお選びいただけるお店です。2021年にグランドリニューアルをおこない、店舗中央に大胆に象徴的なバーカウンターを設え、より一層お客様との対話を重視した店内構成に改装し、実店舗に足を運んでいただく付加価値を創出しています。店名である「HOUR GLASS（砂時計）」から着想し、くびれをもつ石目選びや特注照明をデザインしています。日本の伝統工芸技術を用いた特注マテリアルをはじめ、表情、質感にこだわり抜いた素材を用い、一つひとつのディティールを積み重ねて上質な空気と対話が生まれる空間を作り出しました。

本プロジェクトは、リビタ様が展開されている「都心の100㎡超の専有面積を有し、立地と資産価値にこだわり、リノベーションにより本質的な生活を提供していくブランド」＝「R100 TOKYO」の集大成プロジェクトです。 当社はデンマークのデザイン会社OEO Studioがデザインを手がけた専有面積約198㎡の東京を代表するレジデンスである「オパス有栖川」のリノベーションにあたり、施工面でお手伝いさせていただきました。 「CROSS-CULTURAL(文化の交差）」と「COMPELLING MINIMALISM（魅了するミニマリズム）」をコンセプトに、スカンジナビアと日本に共通する感性をベースとした、新しい提案を盛り込んだデザインの住空間です。 使い込むほどに味が出る無垢材などの自然素材を多用することで、長く暮らせば暮らすほど、人生に多くの恵みをもたらしてくれる今回の住戸は、「R100 TOKYO」が目指す「100年先を見据えた価値ある住まい」を実現させています。 【社会課題／お客様の課題／ご要望】 昨今の都心高級レジデンス市場では、不動産相場や住宅の機能といった従来の価値観に限らない唯一無二の価値を持った住宅の需要が高まっています。 「日本の住宅・不動産の価値を再生し、未来に残していくために次の常識をつくり続ける。」ということを目指されているリビタ様のプロジェクトの中でも、自然素材や伝統工法を重んじる今回のプロジェクトは、住宅性能として成立するのかという点が課題でした。 【解決策】 多種にわたる石材、左官材、無垢材、版築、陶芸タイルなど、住宅性能を考慮した上で自然素材と工芸を住空間に活かせるように、打ち合わせを重ねて推進しました。 一般住宅では国内初の導入となるデンマークのキッチン工房「Garde Hvalsøe（読み：ガーデ・ヴェルス)」の無垢材製キッチンは、今回の住空間で大きな存在意義を持っており、代替えとなるような無垢材のキッチンが存在しないため、当社のグローバル事業部でデンマークから輸入しました。 【お客様の声】 難しい施工に関する解決策のご提案、ディティールの収まりの精度、工事スケジュールの順守など、高い技術と管理力を発揮してくださったおかげで全体スケジュールに狂いなく進められたことはもちろん、設計者の意図をくんだ素晴らしい空間をつくりあげることができました。 ＜当社プロジェクトメンバー＞ 【プロジェクトマネジメント】原田 雅寛 【プロダクトディレクション】藤高 幹也 【グローバルサプライ】中込 大之

HIRODEN etto, a tourist and commercial facility operated by the Hiroshima Dentetsu Group, opened in April of the same year on a site adjacent to the Miyajimaguchi Passenger Terminal, which began service in February 2020 as part of the Itsukushima Port Miyajimaguchi Area Port Improvement Project promoted by Hiroshima Prefecture. Under the concept of "DISCOVER MIYAJIMAGUCHI," it consists of 16 stores, mainly operated by companies that have Head Office in the prefecture. The facility is designed to provide both everyday (local) and extraordinary (sightseeing) pleasures with Hiroshima's unique flavor, and to offer a "fun, delicious, and new Hiroshima" experience to tourists as well as to the local community, thereby creating new attractions in Hiroshima. The new urban planning road was proposed as a measure to alleviate the chronic traffic congestion on National Route 2, which is the main route of daily life for local residents. In conjunction with this plan, it was decided to redevelop the aging passenger terminal by expanding the reclaimed land, and relocate the tourist product facility directly operated by the Hiroshima Electric Railway Group and the Hiroden Miyajima-guchi Station building/track. We were asked to create a scenario for medium- to long-term phased development and to make a proposal on the nature of the new facilities to be built by the Hiroshima Electric Railway Group on the land adjacent to the passenger terminal, which would be a suitable prologue and epilogue to the Miyajima Pilgrimage. We thought it was important to develop a development strategy from a regional branding perspective to give Miyajima-guchi, which is a transit point to Miyajima, "the power of the place". We also wanted to create a place and space that would add a new identity to Miyajimaguchi, which has no colors, through a naming and VI plan (*). The project took both a soft and hard approach to the creation of a place and space that would add color to the first phase of the Miyajima-guchi Town Opening. This approach has created new employment opportunities and contributed to the economic cycle in Miyajima-guchi by providing a new place for business, especially for local businesses in the prefecture. In addition, as a model case of regional development through private-sector involvement in a government-led redevelopment project, the project embodied the Hiroshima Electric Railway Group's management vision of "connecting people with people to create an attractive future for the region," and created a sense of anticipation for later development. (*)VI: Visual Identity. It refers to the design of a logo or symbol mark. We were able to create a facility that meets our concept thanks to the tremendous cooperation we received from both the software and hardware aspects, from the conceptualization stage to the specific facility planning. We look forward to its growth as a facility suitable for the prologue and epilogue of a pilgrimage to Miyajima. ＜Sales and project management] Ichiro Morimoto [Consulting, planning, and soft direction] Mayo Amma [Leasing] Takaaki Hiraki, Eri Morita [design, layout] Kazumi Doi, Yukari Ozaki [Production: construction] Katsunori Sugino [Preliminary internal supervision: furniture and fixture manufacturing] Toshimichi Suzuki [Branding] Yuri Watamoto [Opening Promotion/PR] Daisuke Karube, Hikaru Oura -Related Links- [Announcement] ・Awarded the Silver Prize and other awards at "The 54th Japan Sign concept design Awards

This project reopened the south side zone on the first floor of the main building of S-PAL Koriyama, adjacent to JR Koriyama Station. Numerous shops have been opened to increase the mobility of daily use, meet the diverse needs of customers, and coordinate lifestyles. The proposed environmental design concept is [RAMBLING STATION TOWN]. The theme is "an urban shopping center where people gather at the station and spend a comfortable time, just like enjoying a stroll around town," and the whole area is wrapped in a fashionable and gentle atmosphere. Specifically, the facility facade is equipped with a "rhythm line border" with indirect light, which is reminiscent of Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture, a "music city" with a lot of musical activity. It is deployed to envelop the station concourse, creating a new patio for people walking around the city and S-PAL Koriyama. In addition, a folded ceiling made of wood and white rhythm lines with a "music score" concept design element is placed in conjunction with the Nakajima tenant environment. The rhythmic guidance draws people to the back of the facility. As an urban shopping center, S-PAL Koriyama aims to be a place that is supported by customers of all ages. [Social issues / Customer issues / Requests] - As the project was being promoted at the same time as the COVID-19 pandemic in the fall of 2020, the way in which commercial activities were conducted was questioned. - Due to the earthquake in the spring of 2021, a safe design was strongly required. - Upcycling of the environment was required to use the existing lease lines without changing the main flow of traffic. [Solution] Although the circulation lines are existing, the floor material has been renewed to a cobblestone style, and wooden materials that connect the entire facility have been incorporated in some areas to create a street where people can enjoy strolling around the city. In the atrium environment that serves as the axis of vertical circulation in the facility, a "rhythmic line gate" reminiscent of the "music city" has been added to the existing design, and the new center court has been renovated as a concept design symbol for the entire facility, providing visitors with a natural and symbolic park environment that combines "things x events x time". We have created a new stage for people walking around the city and S-PAL Koriyama. <Our project members> [Planners] Hiroko Okazaki, Yuri Watamoto [Sales and project management] Hiroyuki Uesugi [design, layout] Kenichi Suzuki, Makio Miura [Production and construction] Johei Saito

The area around Tokyo Station is a city with many different aspects, where history, the future, and culture coexist. In the area, the year-end light event has become an annual winter tradition since the Tokyo Millenario in 1999. In 2021, which has been marked by many hardships, we have created a theme of "scenery at dawn" by painting the Marunouchi Building of Tokyo Station, the Marunouchi Central Plaza of Tokyo Station, and Gyoko-dori Street with gentle light, allowing visitors to feel the dawn of a new era. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] We received a request to send a positive message to society and reduce carbon dioxide emissions through a special light-up of the Marunouchi Building of Tokyo Station, a historic building that can be said to be the face of Tokyo. [Solution] We created a color light-up with colors that evoke the "sky at dawn" from the Marunouchi Building of Tokyo Station to the station square and Gyoko-dori Street. For the lighting effects on the trees, we chose to use rental lighting equipment rather than string illumination, as this method would minimize industrial waste, have less impact on the growth of the trees, and reduce costs. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Ken Kumagai [Planning/ concept design /Direction] CIC: Ryuji Tsuyama [Product Direction] Ken Kobayashi, Takahiro Chiba

A proposal competition was held for the complete renewal of SEPPAL SENDAI II in June 2020, 13 years after its opening in 2008, and we were selected. The environmental design concept we proposed for the renewal is [MORI TERRACE], to refine Tohoku's highest level of sensitivity and to transform it into a new select store zone that offers proposals that are one step ahead of customers' lifestyles. Under the themes of "cozier than anywhere else" and "inspiration for everyday life," the entire space was composed based on organic lines and earth colors, enveloping the entire area in a mode and gentle atmosphere. Specifically, "big awnings and greenery" were deployed in the exterior plaza to create a new nexus between the facility and the people on the street. In addition, a light court on the ceiling, which is an element of "sunlight filtering through the trees" (concept design), is placed inside the facility in conjunction with the corridor environment, drawing people to the back of the facility through the sunlight. The light court is linked to the passageway environment, leading people to the back of the facility through the trees. The building aims to be a place where customers of all ages with next-generation values can feel "relaxation and a sense of fun" with a sophisticated sensitivity. The project started in August 2020, when the Corona Disaster was to be promoted, and it was a development project that was questioned as to how to attract customers to commercial facilities. While negotiations with tenants were difficult, 90% of the main traffic lines were to be used by existing lines, and an upcycling of the environment was required. In addition to attracting customers, the project was also required to create a "new nexus between people on the street and S-PAR Sendai," and to attract and spread people further into the facility. SOLUTION: We installed "the most comfortable big awning and greenery" and "LED vision that provides inspiration for daily life" in the external plaza as a nodal point for people on the street, and as an information transmission plaza for this facility located at the northernmost point of S-PAR Sendai, we are providing information about events and tenants to the people on the street. It is a plaza that transmits information about events and tenants to people on the street. The LED Vision is a plaza that transmits information about events and tenants to the people of the city, as a plaza that transmits information about the facility at the northernmost point of the facility. The goal was to create a place where people could "feel, touch, and communicate" from a passing facility. ＜Our project members＞ [Sales and project management] Hiroyuki Uesugi [Planning] Chihiro Watakai, Mayu Nakamura [design, layout] Kenichi Suzuki [Structural design] Taizo Komatsu [Production, construction] Tatsuo Sato

Careritz & Partners Co., Ltd. is a company that is growing rapidly in the nursing care business, mainly in home care services, by utilizing IT technology. We concept design the entrance and meeting room, which will be the face of the company, when the Head Office expanded its head office from the 8th floor to the 15th floor of Shinjuku Miraina Tower. [Social Issues / Customer Issues / Requests] Since many job interviews are held, the company wanted a space where job seekers could relax during the interview and an entrance that would give a sense of the company's growth. [Solution] Since the corporate color is green, live plants were placed in a lattice, and the plants eventually grew and grew out of the frame, representing "growth without being bound by frames." In addition, by dividing the meeting room with a glass partition, a sense of spaciousness was created, and an open space that makes use of the borrowed scenery was realized. Since the color green has a visually relaxing effect, the floor of the meeting room is covered with wood and green carpet. In addition, in response to the increase in online meetings, we have prepared a telecon booth for 1 to 2 people and a meeting room that can seat from 4 to a maximum of 20 people so that it can be used according to the number of people in the meeting. Since many training sessions are held within the company, the entrance for visitors and employees taking training sessions was separated to allow for easy access. <Our project members> [Development] Okawa Nobutoshi [Sales/Project Management] Mukuo Ai [design, layout] Shimizu Shigemi, Koga Sayaka, Hagiwara Mitsutaka [Production construction] Shimizu Kota, Odajima Keita

The Morinaga Angel Museum MORIUM was created as part of the Morinaga & Co. 120th anniversary project. We were responsible for the total production, including spatial concept design, displays planning and production, and the production of various content, including theater videos.

This is a concept shop of "Okomeburan" by Shinmei Group, one of the largest long-established rice wholesalers in Japan. Okomeburan is a rice bran specialty store brand with the vision of "organizing your daily life." This store aims to be a new urban store consisting of three spaces: "FACTORY SHOP," "EAT IN CAFÉ," and "KITCHEN LAB." All of Okomeburan's products are made with the utmost care from the manufacturing process to the transportation process. In order to maximize the appeal of the products, we devised a "FACTORY SHOP" that adds displays function to the conventional sales and cafe functions. We added an displays function that clearly conveys the manufacturing process, and a function that allows you to touch and learn about brown rice, rice husks, white rice, rice bran, and the scenery of the production area for each brand. In addition, we have concept design a "KITCHEN LAB" that visualizes the kitchen and office, and will hold workshops, as well as a space that will convey the product development process that you cannot usually see. Our company has been involved in Okome Buran since its first store (Lucua Osaka), which opened in February 2021, and in addition to designing and construction the stores, we have been providing general support, including rebranding to set the brand name and vision, and supervising logo and packaging concept design, as well as product and cafe menu development.

This museum conveys the history of the Suiheisha, which became the linchpin of the Buraku Liberation Movement, which aims to establish peace and human rights. The latest renovation is a commemorative project for the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Zenkoku Suiheisha, which marks a major milestone since March 3, 1922. In recent years, there has been an increasing tendency to emphasize human rights, such as the enactment of the Human Rights Protection Measures Promotion Act and the Ainu New Act, and the redefinition of museums by the SDGs and the International Council of Museums (ICOM). The Suiheisha Declaration, which was read out at the Zenkoku Suiheisha Founding Conference, was the first human rights declaration in Japan and the first human rights declaration in the world issued by a discriminated minority, stating, "Let there be passion in the human world, and light in humanity." When talking about human rights, the significance of the existence of the Suiheisha Museum, which was established in the birthplace of the Suiheisha and is a hub for disseminating human rights information, is very great. In the renovation, we have once again focused on the Suiheisha Declaration, which became the fundamental spirit of the movement. We have also collected famous quotes from famous people, people close to us, works of art, and works submitted by public entries, bringing inspiration and persuasiveness through the power of words. At the same time, the exhibition is also characterized by its high updateability, allowing comments from the general public to be added at any time. In addition, displays incorporates the idea of "accepting each other's differences" with an emphasis on diversity.

Hitachi Origin Park is a new starting point for Hitachi, Ltd., consisting of four facilities: the Kodaira Memorial Hall, the Sogetsu Koya, the Omika Club, and the Omika Golf Club. The Kodaira Memorial Hall is a future-oriented memorial hall that enhances the engagement of all employees and general visitors. It is a museum that touches on the aspirations of displays Namihei Kodaira, conveys the company's roots to all employees, and allows local residents to learn about the history of social innovation, which has continued to challenge social issues with "harmony, sincerity, and pioneering spirit." In addition, as a place to think about social issues together in the future, a participatory theater has been set up, where visitors can look back on displays themes to date and think about the displays. The Sogetsu Koya, the origin of the company's founding, has been restored as a symbol of Hitachi Origin Park, and visitors can experience the realism of the time by adding recorded footage and 3D sound to the reproduction of the actual environment, creating displays that imprints the spirit of the company's founding in their hearts.

This project was carried out based on the machine tools collected and used by Sankyo Seisakusho, with the goal of cultural preservation and educational use, while leaving them as a valuable asset for the next generation. It will be the best machine tool displays space in Japan, with a number of historical machine tools that embody modern industrial history. You can deepen your understanding of the changes and achievements of machine tools, which are the forerunners of the era and bring about industrial transformation, by system and era, and you can actually touch the machines and mechanisms, making new discoveries and learning. In addition, lighting is used to symbolize the machine tools, which are the core of displays. We participated from the research stage, and under the supervision of the supervisor, we were in charge of space concept design, lighting concept design, graphic concept design, and production and construction. [Customer feedback] The graphic concept design, color scheme, and especially the lighting were well balanced, creating an antique atmosphere. <Our project members> [Sales] Takanori Tsujii [Research] Shuta Fukahori, Takanori Tsujii [design, layout] Shuta Fukahori [Production and construction] Kazuo Maeda, Yurina Nishizono

This is a new tourist information center built in the public passageway of JR Kokura Station, the gateway to Kitakyushu City. In order to improve the satisfaction of tourists, including foreign tourists, who will continue to increase in number, and to promote sightseeing around the city, the existing information center, which was built about 15 years ago, was closed and moved to a new location within the same station premises and expanded. [Social issues / Customer issues / Requests] The requests included creating a space that is easy for travelers to use and comfortable, preparing the hardware and software of a digital signage system with updateable content so that travelers themselves can search for tourist information, setting up a facility that takes into consideration the installation of foreign currency exchange machines and other equipment for foreign travelers, and creating an information center that meets the highest standard of "Category 3" *2 certified by JNTO (Japan National Tourism Organization) *1. [Solution] In addition to meeting the above requests, we proposed a plan with the goal of creating an information center that can be used even in the with-COVID era. Based on the concept of "Kyushu's gateway where you can experience Japan," we proposed a design that expresses the advanced spirit of Kitakyushu, a mecca for manufacturing, while also incorporating the traditional concept design of the castle town of Kokura, and carefully selected interiors materials to maintain a safe and clean concept design. The proposed functions include a non-contact face-to-face system using monitors, a system that allows travelers to upload and publish travel information using SNS, and an arrangement in which the entire glass surface of the exterior wall becomes a signage that promotes the attractions of Kitakyushu at night, and these were all adopted. The innovative concept design is unified with Kitakyushu's signature design and a clean white color, and the entire glass wall creates a bright, open, and welcoming atmosphere. While the concept design blends in with the modern station premises with a gray base, it also asserts itself as an information center by incorporating concept design inspired by Kokura weaving and elements of bustle. At JR Kokura Station, the gateway to Kitakyushu, the concept design is symbolic of the city, conveying the charm of Kitakyushu to customers both in and out of Japan and raising expectations for the trip. [Customer feedback] concept design reflected the space that the city wanted to create as a tourist information center, based on the services to be provided, and they created a tourist information center worthy of being the "gateway to Kitakyushu City." Despite the constraints of being located inside a station, they were able to solve many issues with their rich imagination and high technical skills. We hope that this facility will be used by more tourists visiting the city than ever before. *1. About the JNTO-certified foreign tourist information center certification system: JNTO has been operating a foreign tourist information center certification system since fiscal 2012, based on the "Guidelines for the establishment and operation of foreign tourist information centers (established in January 2012, revised in April 2018)" established by the Japan Tourism Agency. This certification system certifies information centers into three categories and partner facilities based on location, functions, etc. The certification is renewed every three years, and by providing support services such as interpretation services and training sessions by JNTO, we aim to enhance the functions and quality of JNTO-certified foreign tourist information centers nationwide. *2. The highest standard, "Category 3," means: English support is available at all times. Additionally, there is a system in place that allows guidance to be provided in two or more languages other than English at all times. National-level tourist information is provided. Open all year round in principle. Wi-Fi is available. Located in a gateway or location with many foreign visitors. <From the Japan National Tourism Organization website> <Our project members> [Development] Soeda Satoru [Sales and project management] Soeda Satoru [Planning, design, layout] Nishimura Chieri [Production and construction] Hijikuro Kazuya
