Aomaru 47 Product Exhibition: Highlighting Local Treasures in Otemachi

In an exciting initiative to promote regional revitalization, Tokyotatemono Co., Ltd. and Mizuho Financial Group are hosting the Aomaru 47 Product Exhibition, bringing together the best of Japan's regional specialties in the heart of Tokyo. This event, taking place at the Otemachi Tower within the Forest Plaza, is set to kick off in January 2025, and will continue on a regular basis. The exhibition is aimed at not only showcasing local products but also encouraging collaboration and growth among Japan's diverse regions.

The Upcoming Exhibition

Scheduled for August 27 and 28, 2025, this highlight of the Aomaru 47 Product Exhibition will focus on the unique and celebrated products of Tottori Prefecture. Attendees can explore a variety of local delights, including the famous seasonal pears and Dai-bo Shokudo's well-known sweets, among other processed foods. This showcases the cultural and culinary richness of Tottori and provides a platform for residents and tourists alike to engage with the region’s offerings.

Strengthening Community Ties

The collaboration between Tokyotatemono and Mizuho FG is significant, as they leverage their respective strengths to enhance local economies. Tokyotatemono, having developed and managed the Otemachi Tower since its completion in 2014, has played a crucial role in creating a vibrant commercial and administrative hub in the area. Moreover, Mizuho FG stands out as the only megabank with branches in all 47 prefectures, underscoring its commitment to supporting local economies across Japan.

A Prime Venue

The Otemachi Tower is conveniently connected to the Otemachi Station, where five subway lines converge. This strategic location attracts a steady flow of visitors, including office workers and commuters, making the exhibition a perfect opportunity to draw attention to regional products. The exhibition site, Forest Plaza, offers a serene atmosphere, allowing guests to enjoy a tranquil indoor environment amidst high-rise buildings.

Commitment to Sustainability

The Otemachi Tower also emphasizes sustainability through its initiative, Otemachi no Mori (Forest of Otemachi). Spanning approximately 3,600 square meters, this urban forest is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, contributing significantly to urban ecology by alleviating heat island effects and improving soil water retention.
