Nikka Home Launches Free Cooling Shelters in Kanto Region

As temperatures rise and summer approaches, Nikka Home Co., Ltd. is stepping up to offer a solution for the heat. Known for its expertise in residential renovation, the Kanto branch is making its showrooms available as cooling shelters. Starting this May and running until the end of September, 34 locations will provide community members with a comfortable break from the scorching sun at no cost.

The initiative, called “涼み処” or “Cooling Spaces,” aims to support local residents in their efforts to manage heat, especially in light of the rising incidents of heat stroke. Last year, Nikka Home began this project, but this year has expanded the number of participating showrooms from 32 to 34, demonstrating its commitment to community welfare.

These showrooms, primarily located along major roads, are easily accessible with ample parking for visitors. While weekend traffic has been increasing, weekday visits often see fewer attendees. Many visitors drop by for various reasons, from seeking directions and checking the time, to simply enjoying a brief conversation.

Recognizing that local residents sometimes use showrooms as a refuge—whether waiting for a bus or escaping the heat—we decided to transform our space into informal cooling spots. This marks a significant step for us, as we aim to create a more recognizable brand presence in our community as not just a renovation service but as a local resource.

Our Objectives

With the onset of summer, it is essential to have places where community members can seek solace from the heat. “We want to provide a comfortable retreat,” said President Hirohisa Nishida, “and it would be wonderful if just one person could express gratitude for having a cooling space available.” Working closely with the community, we want to become a vital part of the local lifestyle.

Numerous companies have yet to fully embrace the concept of cooling shelters; however, we are committed to raising awareness about this initiative. By openly declaring our showrooms as cooling spaces, we hope to ensure that anyone in need knows they have a cool and safe place to retreat.

Expanding Community Presence

This initiative reflects our dedication to being a community-centered business that enriches local lives. We believe that a truly engaged company is not only a service provider but also ensures its presence is indispensable to the well-being of its community. Encouraging local residents to regard Nikka Home as a necessary asset encourages stronger communal bonds.

As the summer heatwave approaches, we are determined to support our community by providing this important service. Customers can feel free to make use of the space during short breaks, whether waiting for friends or just enjoying a few minutes in the coolness.
