What is the “Nanigotoya Republic”?
It’s a new way of building a town.
A place where different values and styles are welcomed, where unique personalities come together and shape the space as one. That’s the vision behind calling it a “republic.”
Beneath the train tracks at Nankai Imamiya-Ebisu Station, you’ll find a gathering of restaurants, select shops, and art galleries a space where people can casually enjoy food, culture, and connection.
At the heart of it is the “Creative Lab,” where artists, craftspeople, and researchers explore free, experimental projects every day.
It’s like a real-world Minecraft each little unit is its own world. Together, they bring life and color to the Nanigotoya Republic.
Today’s society is full of invisible pressure, making it harder for people to take risks or chase ideas.
Even as words like “SDGs” spread, the will to “just try something” often disappears before it even has a chance to grow.
We see that as a real loss of human energy and one of the biggest issues we should face.
A multi-layered town, where people of all backgrounds, ages, genders, and identities can connect, share, and spark new possibilities.
The passion born here will spark even more passion human energy will resonate, spiral, and rise.
We call that energy “Nettai” — the tropical heat.
That’s what the Nanigotoya Republic is all about.
