JR East × EnjoyWorks' company housing rehabilitation project ／ Participatory workshop to envision the future of Kisarazu Station with the local community

East Japan Railway （ Chiba Branch Office of JR East ）, Enjoyworks, Inc. （ President ： Kazunori Fukuda, Head Office ： Kamakura City ）, and Kisarazu Project （ KISS ）, which aims to create new value in the Kisarazu station area. The workshop will be held on January 18 （, ） to discuss "the future of Kisarazu station area" with local residents.

As the gateway to Kisarazu in the future, the Kisarazu Station East Exit area has great potential to update the way of living ・ working place ・ and interaction. In this project, the concept of revitalizing the existing building at the center of the area, the "Kisarazu Company Housing" owned by East Japan Railway Company, into a new complex that grows with and nurtures the community is being promoted. In this workshop, based on the ideas submitted at the Marche event held in October, we will dig deeper with the participants into the proposed layout of the building and how the base will be used. This is an opportunity to share fantasies of "what kind of lifestyle" and "what kind of jobs could be created" and to co-create a "vision of the future in front of the station" that is truly necessary for the community. We will be sharing ideas from a variety of perspectives, including those who live in the area, those who would like to get involved, and those who are interested in community development, to shape the future of the project. Please feel free to join us.
