The Launch of MIDORI.so Kichijoji

A New Era for a Creative Space
On September 1, 2025, MIRAI-INSTITUTE Co., Ltd. will unveil its latest venture, MIDORI.so Kichijoji, situated on the eighth floor of Kichijoji PARCO. This transformation from SkiiMa Kichijoji represents a commitment to evolving the traditional role of commercial spaces from mere consumption centers into facilitators of creativity and innovation.

From Consumption to Creation
Historically, commercial spaces have primarily been defined by purchasing behaviors. However, SkiiMa has redefined itself as a venue for not just consuming culture but also creating it. MIDORI.so Kichijoji will continue this legacy, providing a platform where ideas can flourish, and cultural expressions can resonate throughout society. Through this transformation, it aims to establish a community where diverse individuals can connect and spur creativity.

Community at the Core
MIDORI.so originated in Nakameguro and has since expanded to various locations around Tokyo, including Shibuya and Nagatacho. It’s evolved into a vibrant community bolstering connections between work and relationships. Members are drawn from an array of backgrounds, including independent workers, entrepreneurs, and those passionate about their interests. This intersection creates a glorious chaos, giving rise to new ideas and collaborative projects.

At Kichijoji, MIDORI.so will combine its guiding principle of fostering connections, “between likes,” with the unique characteristics of Kichijoji, a city celebrated for its rich culture and creative spirit. With its artsy vibe and proximity to various parks and subcultures, Kichijoji is regarded as one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Tokyo.

A Vision for the Future
MIDORI.so Kichijoji is set to redefine the commercial landscape in several significant ways:
1. Cultural Creation: Shifting the focus from consumerism to creation, MIDORI.so aims to inspire new cultural projects and ventures within the space.
2. Civic Engagement: The venue will foster communities aligning with Kichijoji’s local culture, emphasizing the interconnectedness of work and life.
3. Independent Lifestyles: The space will welcome individuals prioritizing their unique styles of work and expression, laying the groundwork for innovative collaborations.

Following its opening, MIDORI.so Kichijoji plans to host workshops, discussions, and exhibitions, catalyzing organic connections among users and the surrounding community. By shifting from merely consuming culture to co-creating it, MIDORI.so aims to elevate the significance of commercial spaces in Tokyo.
