Modoki: Where Books, Wine, and Care Converge

Nestled within the Suwa Shopping District of Tama New Town, a groundbreaking space named Modoki is set to open its doors in November 2025. This multifaceted venue, created by the Life is association, aims to redefine the nature of community interaction by seamlessly integrating books, natural wines, and medical care into one layered ecosystem.

A New Kind of Community Hub

Modoki aspires to be a “crossroads of the town,” a welcoming space where the ordinary lives of individuals can gently overlap. It includes a private library, a natural wine bar, a selection store, medical short-term care, and a rest area for overnight stays. The multifaceted attributes allow residents and visitors alike to engage in a variety of peaceful yet enriching ways, promoting a vibrant community dynamic.

At Modoki, the everyday experience of community living isn't an isolated event but an interwoven tapestry that encourages spontaneous interactions. Imagine a person perusing the library while another enjoys a glass of wine nearby, their lives intersecting in subtle yet meaningful ways.

A Vision Rooted in Wellness

The founders of Modoki recognize that care extends far beyond hospital walls. It is a continuous part of our daily existence. Many times, we tend to segregate care from our ordinary lives without realizing how profoundly it can enhance our quality of life. By creating an environment where a natural wine bar coexists with spaces for medical care and a select shop, Modoki fosters a setting where diverse lifestyles flourish side by side.

Features of Modoki:

• - Medical Short-Term Care: Dedicated to providing care for those with specific medical needs, ensuring that comfort and support are always accessible.
• - Private Library: A space where anyone can enjoy books and recommend their favorites to others, promoting local authors and stories.
• - Natural Wine Bar: Offering a space for social dining during the day as well as relaxing evenings over natural wines.
• - Rest Area: A retreat available for those seeking a brief respite from their daily lives, allowing individuals to recharge and refocus.

A Thoughtful Choice of Location

Located in the Suwa Shopping District of Tama New Town, this area has a rich history of supporting community life. Although the vibrancy may have dimmed over the years, hints of its past remain through bustling businesses and well-tended gardens. Modoki aims to reintroduce this spirit of connection while maintaining the charm that makes this community unique.

The Vision for Modoki: Creating an intentional environment where everyone feels welcomed without the limitations of roles or histories. This community hub envisions a space where the interactions that emerge are not defined by care, but rather by curiosity and shared experience.

Building Connections

At the heart of Modoki lies a simple yet profound mission: to help individuals interact and connect without preconceived notions of roles as caregivers or recipients. This genuine approach looks to transform conventional views of care and community engagement through shared experiences, rather than structured hierarchy.

Future Initiatives and Community Engagement

In collaboration with local artists and creators, Modoki will host events that bring people together, showcasing not only products from local welfare organizations but also artistic expressions that reflect the community's diversity. The shop will feature handicrafts from welfare institutions across Japan, providing a platform for showcasing artistry born of diverse experiences.

As the journey to establish Modoki unfolds, we aim to create a seamless blend of daily life, culture, and care—all within a space where relationships flourish and communities grow stronger. This innovative venue will be a calming sanctuary where the ordinary becomes extraordinary.

With the support of local organizations and initiatives aimed at enhancing community life, Modoki aspires to become a model for combining social welfare with vibrant community life.
