TOYAMA TOWN TREKKING SITE

Toyama City, Toyama Prefecture and NOMURA Co., Ltd. have opened TOYAMA TOWN TREKKING SITE, a new lifestyle base with the theme of "a gymnasium that connects to the outside from a closed gymnasium."
This project was selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications as part of its 2016 Public Facility Open Renovation Project, which aims to revitalize public facilities owned by local governments with the help of creators and other private sectors and turn them into new business bases. By renovating the dead space of the Toyama City General Gymnasium, we aim to ``revitalize'' it as a multi-generational exchange base where residents can engage in activities such as town trekking.
"TTS" is a complex facility with a cafe, sports shop, and studio. We have established facilities (hardware) to support town trekking, and regularly hold food education, physical education, and health education event programs (software), creating a new public service that supports the health of Toyama citizens. The facility will be operated as part of the project.
Taking advantage of the location adjacent to Kansui Park, which is visited by 1.4 million people a year, we hope to extend healthy lifespans to all citizens by allowing the Toyama City General Gymnasium to be used not only as a base but also as a base for walking around the area. This project is one of the most advanced in Japan, with the aim of providing a first-hand experience of ``improving the quality of life (QOL)'' and building a ``virtuous cycle model between residents' healthy behavior and the local economy.''
“TTS” provides “time and space to nurture people, not just time and space, which are necessary for the health of people and the community,” and share with others what is uniquely yours and does not belong to anyone else. We will slowly create the "space" to do so.
