Opening of Mirai Aozora Gakuen and a New Community Hub

On the 1st, we will open a new community hub that integrates local exchange and support facilities, such as a children's center and a community comprehensive support center, into 'Mirai Aozora Gakuen,' the second combined elementary and junior high school in the ward.

This facility was developed as a leading project for the consolidation and integration of surrounding facilities in conjunction with the rebuilding of elementary and junior high schools, based on the ward's Comprehensive Management Plan for Public Facilities.

By consolidating spaces for learning, play, consultation, and social interaction into the same facility, we aim to become a community hub that connects diverse generations, from children to the elderly.
