Embracing Regional Revitalization: Aomaru 47 Product Exhibition

Tokyo Tatemono and Mizuho Financial Group have joined forces to launch the "Aomaru 47 Product Exhibition," showcasing regional specialties from across Japan at the Otemachi Tower in Tokyo. Launched in January 2025, this exhibition aims to promote local flavors and support regional revitalization efforts.

Event Overview

On September 25 and 26, 2025, the exhibition will feature specialties from Hamamatsu City and Fujieda City. This initiative is not only an opportunity to taste local delicacies but also to celebrate the rich culture of these areas.

A Collaborative Effort

The collaboration between Tokyo Tatemono and Mizuho FG has resulted in this vibrant exhibition. Since its completion in 2014, Tokyo Tatemono has managed and operated Otemachi Tower, which serves as a multifunctional facility housing offices, hotels, and commercial zones. Its strategic location, directly connected to the Otemachi subway station via a subterranean walkway, ensures a constant flow of visitors throughout the day, benefiting both office workers and commuters.

As Mizuho FG stands out as the only megabank with branches in all 47 prefectures, it is dedicated to supporting local development through initiatives like this exhibition. Their aim is to connect consumers with regional products and highlight the unique offerings of Japan.

What to Expect in September

On the exhibition days, attendees can anticipate a delightful array of products:

• - Hamamatsu City: Famous for its rich natural environment surrounded by mountains, rivers, seas, and lakes, Hamamatsu boasts an abundance of delicious produce. Visitors can discover local favorites such as unagi (grilled eel), tea, sake, and traditional sweets.
• - Fujieda City: The city will present its local confectionery, seasonal jams, fragrant tea, and shiitake mushrooms. Each product reflects the essence of Fujieda and is sure to satisfy visitors looking for authentic tastes.

Venue Details

The exhibition will take place at the Otemachi Tower, located underground at 1-5-5 Otemachi, Chiyoda, Tokyo. The venue, named "Forest Plaza," is linked directly to the Otemachi subway station, providing easy access for attendees from the surrounding area.

About Otemachi Tower

Otemachi Tower is a large-scale mixed-use development that includes not only office floors but also the commercial zone "OOTEMORI," and the luxury hotel Aman Tokyo. Encompassing approximately one-third of the site, the "Otemachi Forest" serves as an urban green space, home to diverse flora and fauna, contributing to environmental improvements such as heat island effect mitigation and rainwater runoff prevention. In recognition of its contributions to urban greening, it received the "Triple Star" designation by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism in March 2025.

Highlighting Aomaru

Representing Mizuho FG, the character "Aomaru" is a wombat in the company's corporate colors. Aomaru's role is to simplify the explanation of Mizuho's products and services while cleverly carrying useful items like smartphones in its signature belly pocket.
