A New Co-Working Space That Blends Work and Fun in Kumagaya

Recently, a new co-working space named "Shirokuma Co-Working" was launched in Kumagaya City, Saitama Prefecture. This innovative establishment is a partnership between Hakuworks LLC and Good Office Inc., which operates around 900 workspaces across Japan. Shirokuma Co-Working is located in a renovated building at the heart of Kumagaya, designed to provide a dynamic environment for work and social interaction.

A Unique Working Environment

Shirokuma Co-Working creates an atmosphere where work and enjoyment meet, allowing individuals to come together in a vibrant setting. Visitors can engage with other interesting individuals while making use of shared office spaces, a weekly accessible shared kitchen, and a shop-sharing project among the various facilities. This new venue aims to breathe fresh inspiration into individuals’ work lives through interactions with the community and their fellow users.

The co-working space offers a variety of facilities tailored to meet diverse needs, including private offices, open desks, and quiet booths, as well as a dedicated meditation room. The open desk area is bathed in natural light from large windows, creating an environment conducive to productivity and comfort.

The booths offer solitude for those needing to focus on work or studying, allowing users to enjoy their time without distractions. Furthermore, the fully equipped private rooms are ideal for web conferences or online interviews, providing spacious environments for long-term comfort.

In addition to workspace amenities, the facility features an open kitchen that not only supports productivity but also encourages casual social interactions among users. Essential amenities such as monitors, coffee machines, projectors, and shared bookshelves make this workspace even more convenient.

Community engagement is further enhanced as the space's owner also serves as a community manager, facilitating user introductions and event planning, fostering an inviting atmosphere.

Rooftop Relaxation and Engagement Opportunities

Shirokuma Co-Working's rooftop is an impressive and refreshing area within the building where users can relax during breaks or organize events such as morning activities. Plans are underway to implement various activities encouraging interaction among users, providing a platform for new connections and ideas to flourish.

Flexible Pricing Plans to Match Your Lifestyle

Accommodating the diverse needs of freelancers, creative mothers balancing work and family, and remote workers connecting with clients online, Shirokuma Co-Working offers flexible pricing plans. Users can take advantage of a drop-in option starting at just 330 yen per hour. Monthly subscriptions include options like the 24-hour unlimited full-time plan and specific plans tailored for morning or night use, ensuring that every individual can find a plan that suits their working style.

Networking, Learning, and Inspiring Environment

Apart from the co-working spaces, the Shirokuma Building also houses a shared kitchen and shop, providing an extensive opportunity for challenges and collaborations. The ground floor's shared kitchen has received all necessary approvals for food service, fully equipped with kitchen appliances and dishware, aimed at aspiring restaurateurs minimizing initial costs.

The first floor also features a shared shop where individuals can open their own storefronts within a flower-chandeliers-themed space. Meanwhile, the second floor features an airy shared atelier suitable for various creative projects and office use.

Commitment to Community and Creativity

Kazuhisa Shirata, the representative of Hakuworks LLC, expressed, "We aimed to create a venue where work and fun intertwine. The Shirokuma Building not only features shared kitchens and shops but also aspires to be a place where individuals can invite fresh perspectives into their work through community engagement."

The co-working space acts as a platform offering opportunities through real projects, where the management team provides requests for tasks like logo design, video editing, and writing. Community welfare initiatives involving local businesses, such as health services and cafes, are in preparation, exemplifying new models of a holistic work-life integration.

Shirokuma Co-Working represents more than just a workspace; it is a hub for forging connections between work and people. The establishment hopes to empower creators and contribute to community building.
