Culture Convenience Club Co., Ltd. (Head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Muneaki Masuda; hereinafter referred to as CCC) will open the Kashiwa-no-ha T-SITE in Kashiwa City, Chiba Prefecture on March 2, 2017.

Kashiwa-no-ha T-SITE, which appears to be a series of five triangular-roofed houses, stands on the banks of the Aqua Terrace, a waterfront space whose construction was completed in November last year. The park aims to be a place that local residents will want to visit every day.

Kashiwa-no-ha T-SITE's main theme is "proposing lifestyles for families with children," in line with its location in Kashiwa-no-ha Smart City, a collaboration between the public, private, and academic sectors, and the surrounding area, where many families with children live.

The three separate buildings will house shops offering outdoor sports that allow visitors to interact with nature.
