Hachioji, Tokyo.
■ About the site
The planned site is located about 3km from Hachioji Station and about 500m from the Hachioji Interchange on
the Chuo Expressway, close to the Hachioji Bypass (National Highway No. 16), which is the main north-south
trunk line in southwestern Tama area. It is also located on the Hiyodoriyama Road between the Shintakiyama
Highway and the downtown area extending from Hachioji Station. This is the area where we expect to attract
customers from a wider area of southwestern part of Tama.
In addition, the site is located close to many tourist spots including the neighboring Hachioji Takiyama, theonly roadside station in Tokyo that sells fresh local produce and meat products, as well as Mt. Takao andAkigawa Valley. In addition, there are 21 of universities, junior colleges, and technical colleges concentrated in
the Hachioji city, making it a university town with about 100,000 students.

structural issues of Japanese society such as shopping refugees, labor shortages, DX promotion, child-rearing
support, and disaster countermeasures. Centering on this facility, we will form a "base in the northern Hachiojithat disseminates a new urban lifestyle".
■ Facility concept
It is expected that the advanced digital literacy of consumers will change their behavior to purchase daily
necessities via online, which in turn bring them more "leisure and time" with increasing demand for things toenable them enjoy such time.
Based on the concept of "a base that enriches options and sends out new urban lifestyles," this facility not
only has a home delivery function, but also develops a next-generation supermarket with a large automatedwarehouse annexed with a brick and mortar store, a cinema complex, sporting facilities for people withdisabilities and restaurants in collaboration with the neighboring roadside station Hachioji Takiyama.
By developing a new lifestyle facility that merges "online" and "offline", we will provide a new "platform fordaily living" that enriches people’s daily life in the community. We continue to promote efforts toward therealization of a society in which "no one is left behind" from the new base at Hachioji.
