Tokyo Metropolitan Logistics Group Expands with New Nagano Center

On October 27, 2025, Tokyo Metropolitan Logistics Group (Headquartered in Tokyo; CEO: Tomoaki Komagata) launched its newest logistics facility, the Nagano Center, in Nagano Prefecture. This strategic hub follows the recent openings of the Kanazawa Center and the Nagoya Center, contributing to the strengthening of the group's nationwide logistics network.

Importance of the Nagano Center

The Nagano Center is pivotal as it connects key points on both the Sea of Japan and Pacific sides, as well as the Tokyo area. Its establishment serves as a critical junction in the logistics network, enhancing the resilience of operations during unforeseen circumstances, including disasters. This dual connectivity improves not only the efficiency of transport routes but also ensures continuity of business operations, also known as business continuity planning (BCP).

Equipped with amenities such as driver accommodations and shower facilities, the Nagano Center supports long-haul transport, addressing the challenges posed by the worsening logistics industry issues anticipated in 2024. By providing better working conditions for truck drivers, this new center plays a crucial role in mitigating the critical situation faced by the logistics sector.

Contribution to Local Economy

In addition to serving as a key transport hub, the Nagano Center will also operate as a logistics collection and distribution point within Nagano Prefecture. This dual role will empower local businesses by providing comprehensive logistical support, thereby contributing to economic development in the region.

As the Tokyo Metropolitan Logistics Group continues to strengthen its logistics operations extending from the eastern part of Japan to the west, the establishment of the Nagano Center signifies a commitment to fostering regional community growth through efficient transport and logistics. The Nagano Center aims to set a benchmark in supporting local enterprises and optimizing supply chain operations, essential in today's fast-paced market environment.
