Tokyo Green Biz Day with Azabudai Hills

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government is committed to creating a sustainable urban environment that harmonizes with nature. As part of this vision, the "Tokyo Green Biz" initiative aims to preserve agriculture and wooded areas while promoting green spaces that benefit all citizens. The project includes the launch of the Tokyo Green Biz Map, which highlights various locations dedicated to greenery, and the pilot implementation of green infrastructure in public spaces.

In line with these efforts, the Tokyo Green Biz Day event will be held at Azabudai Hills, in collaboration with various partners dedicated to protecting, growing, and utilizing the greenery of Tokyo. This event is designed as a public-private partnership to encourage residents to connect with and nurture nature.

Event Details

The event will take place over two days—October 4 and 5—at the Central Plaza of Azabudai Hills, providing an opportunity for visitors to join in workshops while enjoying green spaces in the heart of the city. Aiming to create an accessible environment where everyone can engage with greenery, we hope to broaden the participation in these important initiatives. We invite many to join us for this inspired gathering!
