We aim to create a city where the city of Ikebukuro is as comfortable as a living room and makes you want to walk.
* What is Green Boulevard?
In 2016, the Green Boulevard Area Management Council (GAM) was established and was certified by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism as an applicable area for the National Strategic Road Occupation Project. Businesses such as "Creation of communication (open cafe)" and "Creation of liveliness (Marche)" have become possible, and various events are being held. Through a social experiment conducted to make Green Boulevard a more comfortable space, Toshima Ward has begun to improve the planting belts along the road, street lights, benches, etc., and it is gradually changing to a comfortable space. .. The market and street furniture social experiments to be held on Green Boulevard this year will be sponsored by GAM.

We had you open a store in a workshop etc. In addition, in collaboration with stores and facilities around Ikebukuro, we have provided a mechanism to enjoy walking in the city and created a mood to enjoy the entire Ikebukuro like a living room. In addition, it has been used as a place for experiments on comfortable furniture, lighting, and planting, which has led to the hardware redevelopment of the sidewalk space.
From 2021, we aim to create a comfortable space and create a lively atmosphere so that the scenery and mood created at the event "IKEBUKURO LIVING LOOP" until 2020 can be normalized.
