MIRAI CONVENIENCE STORE landscape by KOKUYO Co., Ltd. (SILVER WINNING PROJECT)

The outdoor café terrace attached to the MIRAI CONVENIENCE STORE is now open. This rare area rich in natural beauty has been called the "Tibet of Shikoku". However, like other rural communities, it is evolving into a marginal settlement, where a population of only about 1000 people lives in an area the same size as a Tokyo ward. The private firm KITO DESIGN HOLDINGS has launched a project intended to revive this tiny village of Kito using the power of culture and industry.
