Okabe's Innovative Approach to Space Design
In the competitive construction industry, maintaining a cutting edge requires continuous innovation and adaptation. Okabe Inc., a comprehensive construction company and playground equipment manufacturer based in Toyama, Japan, is gearing up to showcase its groundbreaking space design at the upcoming
Leisure & Outdoor Japan 2025, scheduled from November 26 to November 28 at Tokyo Big Sight. This event draws a significant number of industry professionals, focusing on attractions, activities, and the outdoor sector, and serves as a platform for the latest trends and services in the leisure industry.
Transforming Visitor Engagement
Okabe has been making waves in the construction sector by doubling its customer engagement through its unique spatial designs. The company's newest offering,
CUBIC WOOD, is an innovative playground equipment line crafted to bring unique wooden aesthetics into play areas. By allowing for customizable configurations through cube-shaped units, CUBIC WOOD provides not only an enjoyable play experience for children but also enhances the overall environment of spaces like car dealerships and commercial facilities.
One of the most appealing features of CUBIC WOOD is its potential for interactive design creation. Children can actively participate in building the play equipment, making it not just a play area but a community-building opportunity. Regular events can be hosted, transforming each installation into an evolving entity that fosters ongoing relationships with customers, thus leading to increased redundancy and extended visitor durations.
Collaboration with Industry Leaders
In addition to its own creations, Okabe will also feature products from
GameTime, a leading American play equipment manufacturer represented by Okabe’s group company, Asobito. GameTime is renowned for its inclusive design, which prioritizes accessibility for all children, regardless of ability or age. The exhibition will allow attendees to experience sensory-inclusive play equipment firsthand, aligning with Okabe's vision for creating joyful and inclusive spaces for children.
With the anticipated growth of visitor numbers at the
Leisure & Outdoor Japan 2025, Okabe's participation is particularly timely. The leisure industry is currently benefiting from factors such as increased inbound tourism due to the weak yen and heightened domestic travel demand among Japanese people. Recent trends indicate a surge in theme parks and glamping sites across the country, leading to a proliferation of new attractions and renovations. The previous year saw over 18,000 attendees, and this trend is expected to grow in 2025.
