Izumiotsu opens iro×iro BASE Kotobuki community complex
A new multi-generational community complex, ‘iro×iro BASE Kotobuki’, has opened in Izumiotsu, Japan. Located at the former site of Jonan Kindergarten, the facility is designed to serve residents ranging from infants to seniors.
The complex includes the Miraizu Children's Garden for early childhood education, an after-school program offering subjects such as programming and English, a community cafe, and a fitness gym. The facility is designed with an open, modern aesthetic and is intended to be a space where local residents can visit freely.
In addition to its social functions, the site is equipped with solar power, well water, and EV charging capabilities, allowing it to serve as a regional disaster prevention hub during emergencies.
