Company Message

“Nagoya Spirit and New Waves.”
Holding this concept dear, we have been transmitting food culture,
tradition,
and artisan culture that are “unique to Nagoya” in the age of the new normal.
Our future initiatives will take our activities beyond the Nagoya area so we can become a commercial facility that contributes to
our community and lives by proactively working on SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) set by people all over the world.

MEET IN SUMMER:
Connections between people

From Friday, July 7 to Sunday, September 10, 2023, a special event under the theme “MEET IN SUMMER” was held. An installation by a fourth-generation bamboo artist, Tanabe Chikuunsai, who showcases his work around the world was displayed in Tokai area for the first time. He uses bamboo strips to create his work, and when an exhibition closes, he dismantles each installation and reuses the strips to make his next work. Each shop also participated in “Cosmo Quiz Marathon,” which was overseen by Nagoya City Science Museum that houses one of the largest planetariums in the world. As a “Certified Project Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Planetarium,” this project added excitement to both venues.

“THE BATON PROJECT” that

KITTE Nagoya has always valued “connections” right from the beginning. We launched “THE BATON PROJECT” in 2020, a project to transmit our Nagoya spirit in this new age, to connect people to people, and to connect people to objects and events. Various illustrators are creating visual posters from season to season for our on-site display as if passing a baton in a marathon relay.

DELIGHT CHRISTMAS

From Wednesday, November 8 to Monday, December 25, 2023, Delight Tree, standing 10 meters tall, was on display in the 1st floor Atrium. Standing under the warm light, the Christmas tree was decorated with FOOD TEXTILE cloth and thread dyed with scraps of vegetables and non-standard food that would have been discarded. The name “Deli-light” includes our message of wanting to share happiness under the shining light born from food.

“Light Down Christmas”
that reduces energy consumption

From Wednesday, November 9 to Sunday, December 25, 2022, an eco-friendly Christmas tree that reuses discarded plastic was on display in the 1st floor Atrium. An increasing demand for power has resulted in a decrease in electricity supply and an increase in the need for energy conservation. As a result, instead of lighting up the Christmas tree, we built an illumination that lit down the tree. This tree offered something different and unique from the normal Christmas tree that usually lights up brightly and shines brilliantly. It is our hope that the glimmering light emitted from this Christmas tree made from recycled luminous plastic gets people to think about our life with electricity.

“FloweRing Christmas”

From Wednesday, November 10, 2021 to Saturday, December 25, 2021, we held an exhibition of a 13-m long “FloweRing Tree” in our first floor atrium. The upcycled Christmas tree was made of “waste flowers” that were supposed to be disposed for various reasons. We created this tree with our prayers for our society’s rebirth after the COVID-19 pandemic. After the event, we reused waste flowers on display to create mini flower bouquets and gave them to visitors to help reduce waste.

Setting up stations
for electric vehicles (EVs) and
plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHVs)

We installed charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHVs) in hourly pay parking lots. EVs and PHVs are likely to expand their global market share in the future. By making charging stations for these types of vehicles readily available, we help prevent natural disasters linked to climate change.

KITTE Nagoya is directly connected to Nagoya Station. Japanese nationals as well as people from different nationalities come to KITTE Nagoya. For people from diverse backgrounds to have a comfortable visit, we installed information boards available in three languages.
