Experience Cutting-Edge Disaster Preparedness at Tokyo Big Sight

Sanwa Trading Co., headquartered in Ichikawa, Chiba, is set to showcase its innovative disaster preparedness solutions from July 2 to 4, 2025, at the Tokyo Big Sight’s Regional Disaster Prevention Expo. This premier event is part of the Local Government and Public Week and aims to gather essential products and services to protect the lives and properties of local residents from disasters.

A Spotlight on VR Fire Escape Experience

One of the highlights of Sanwa's exhibition will be the "VR Fire Escape Experience." This engaging simulation allows participants to virtually experience a fire evacuation, thereby enhancing their awareness and preparedness for real-life emergencies. By incorporating cutting-edge technology, such as XR (cross-reality), visitors can immerse themselves in scenarios mimicking natural disasters like earthquakes and fires. This unique offering is designed to spark new insights into disaster preparedness and response.

Addressing Community Challenges

Sanwa Trading is committed to addressing the pressing concerns of community officials, such as encouraging a broad demographic, from children to the elderly, to participate in disaster training. The company aims to foster an environment of heightened disaster awareness and contribute to the development of resilient communities. The exhibition will also feature other engaging content, including disaster quizzes and a mobile disaster goods sales vehicle, known as "GENSAI," to cater to various community needs.

The VR Fire Escape Experience was recently showcased at the 22nd Office Disaster Prevention Expo, part of the General Affairs, HR, and Accounting Week held from June 25 to 27, where it received positive feedback from attendees. This is a remarkable opportunity for visitors at the Regional Disaster Prevention Expo to engage with this innovative display at Sanwa’s booth.

Additional Resources and Support

In addition to the VR experience, Sanwa Trading will promote awareness of self-help during disasters, particularly for residents of sturdy buildings, by introducing the "Recommendation for Home Evacuation". They will also be exhibiting the "GENSAI" mobile sales unit, which provides essential disaster preparedness items.

Sanwa Trading welcomes all inquiries related to disaster preparedness and challenges, ensuring to address the concerns of various stakeholders thoroughly. Their team is dedicated to providing tailored solutions based on individual needs.
