Nigiwai-no-mori (lively forest)

This was once an undeveloped forest.
The entire forest was developed as a green infrastructure, utilizing the original topography to bring in seasonal breezes and to store rainwater. It functions as a base for SDGs by reusing stored rainwater and utilizing geothermal heat. The open location with mountain breezes blowing through is also in line with the lifestyle of the New Normal.

The facility is surrounded by trees with plenty of shade and is equipped with desks and chairs for use as workspace. Enjoy an unusual work style while listening to the wind blowing through the trees and birds chirping.
The adjacent facility, Civic Core Building, also has a workspace for year-round comfort.
