“Marunouchi Street Park Illumination Tour!” Sponsored NOMURA Co.,Ltd.

Since 2019, the Daimaru Yu Area Management Association (Ligare) has been working on a future area management demonstration experiment that transforms the "road space" into a comfortable "urban park space" on Marunouchi Nakadori, Tokyo. “Marunouchi Street Park” (abbreviation: MSP).

​“Marunouchi Street Park 2021 Winter”, the first winter event, will be held from December 2nd to 25th, 2021. Three spaces where you can feel the warmth with all five senses will appear under the theme of “Winter Streets”.

To explore how people can stay warm and spend time outdoors in a space that allows them to enjoy the illuminations, a winter feature of Marunouchi Nakadori, plans call for creating a winter-specific space that takes the cold into consideration, as well as setting up a temporary building that will function as an information center. NOMURA Co.,Ltd. was in charge of planning, design, construction, and concept design. Nomura Co., Ltd. has a track record of creating a variety of spaces, both indoors and outdoors, and is demonstrating the comprehensive strength that only NOMURA Co.,Ltd. can offer.

Furthermore, during the operation of "Marunouchi Street Park 2021 Summer" (August-September), we observed visually impaired people using the park, and so we conducted interviews with people who are visually impaired since birth. Results included, "The places I want to go are places I've been to once and enjoyed," "I'm nervous about taking the first step when going somewhere new," "I didn't know Marunouchi was a park," and "Because I'm blind, I use my imagination to enjoy things." We believe that if we can convey the charm of Marunouchi in a friendly and careful manner by "ensuring that visually impaired people can understand" and "providing reliable support," they will want to return and ultimately fall in love with Marunouchi Nakadori. Based on this, we are hosting an illumination tour​ ​sponsored by NOMURA Co.,Ltd. We believe that this program (demonstration experiment) will create opportunities for everyone to "feel, connect, and spend time with the seasons," thereby moving closer to MSP's goal of "people-centered roads."
