NANMO NANMO OBIHIRO: A New Gathering Space
The spring of 2028 marks a significant milestone for the city of Obihiro, Hokkaido, with the opening of the NANMO NANMO OBIHIRO project. Developed by Toju Holdings in collaboration with Miyazaka Construction and Smiles Inc., this project aims to create a vibrant commercial facility and public space. Located conveniently near the JR Obihiro Station, the 25,600 square meter area will serve as a hub for shopping, dining, and community interactions.
Concept and Vision
NANMO NANMO OBIHIRO symbolizes a renewal of communal spaces by providing residents and visitors with a lively venue where they can enjoy local attractions, shop, and interact. This project is designed with three key concepts that address community needs:
1.
Integration of Local Delights: The Tokachi area boasts numerous unique attractions and shops spread across its geography. NANMO NANMO OBIHIRO seeks to unite these offerings in one accessible location, making it easier for people to explore local culture and cuisine.
2.
Creating an Inviting Atmosphere: This facility emphasizes the importance of being a 'place to stay' regardless of the season, much like the former Nagasakiya Obihiro store. By fostering a welcoming public space, it aims to revive old memories and generate new ones through community gatherings.
3.
Encouraging New Opportunities: The region has a vibrant spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship. NANMO NANMO OBIHIRO will provide ample opportunities and facilities for aspiring local entrepreneurs to turn their ideas into reality, thus championing Tokachi's future development.
Details of the Facility
The NANMO NANMO OBIHIRO will comprise three main commercial buildings and communal spaces:
- - Food Hall and Marketplace: This area will host various dining options, from casual eateries to gourmet shops, ensuring that it caters to a wide array of tastes and occasions. It’s a place not only for meals but also for discovering fresh produce and artisanal goods unique to the Tokachi region.
- - Education and Lifestyle Services: With services catered to daily life, there will be spaces for workshops, satellite classrooms, and other learning opportunities, making it convenient and accessible for students and families alike.
