EDOCCO, the Kanda Myojin Cultural Exchange Center, which we comprehensively produced from concept development to opening, is a facility that inherits tradition and creates new culture based on the concept of "tradition x innovation." It is a unique multi-purpose facility with four above-ground floors and one basement floor, which also includes the function of a shrine's amulet distribution office. Centered around a multi-purpose hall, it operates 365 days a year, hosting corporate presentations and displays on weekdays and transforming into a live music venue on weekends. Furthermore, the Japanese cultural experiences, which focus on preserving traditional performing arts and crafts, target inbound tourists. The facility incorporates mechanisms to improve visitor satisfaction, such as introducing merchandise sales and cafe services that will please visitors, while fostering collaboration with the local community. [Challenges/Themes] In 20 years, there are two challenges: the crisis that 40% of temples and shrines will disappear due to the effects of a declining birthrate and aging population, and the decrease in Shinto wedding ceremonies. This project started in response to the desire to increase the number of worshippers of shrines in the future. [Solution] By injecting marketing principles into the shrine and developing a plan to attract demographics that had not previously visited shrines (young people and inbound tourists), this facility was created, incorporating two functions: a multipurpose hall and a Japanese culture experience studio. The facility attracts three target groups—business people, young people, and inbound tourists—and is bustling with activity every day. <Our Project Members> [Producer] Kenichi Sakazume [Sales] Seiji Yamaguchi, Tsuyoshi Inami, Motoo Kawada [Planning] Keita Kobayashi, Yoshiko Watanabe [concept design] Ryo Onishi, Eri Okuyama, Nanako Wajun, Ayumi Sasai [Production] Shigeyoshi Takahara, Jun Endo, Hiroki Kimura ~Related Links~ [News Releases] ・Kanda Myojin Cultural Exchange Center "EDOCCO" to be comprehensively produced by Kenichi Sakazume, Chief Planner NOMURA Co.,Ltd.
