Press release

Sports is not just something you do, but the excitement and joy of sports that can be delivered through competitions and events is only possible because of the presence of "sports producers" who plan and create sports content.

<About Tokyu Land Corporation>
Tokyu Land Corporation is implementing "PROJECT LIFE LAND SHIBUYA," an initiative in the greater Shibuya area based on the concept of "Let's start with people." Through co-creation with diverse people and companies and the creation of mechanisms and spaces for exchange, we cycle through "creation," "dissemination," and "accumulation," and build partnerships and alliances with people and companies who sympathize with us. The company plans to open four projects in the Shibuya Sakuragaoka, Harajuku/Jingumae, Daikanyama, and Yoyogi Park areas by 2024. By linking areas in the greater Shibuya area, we will enhance the appeal of the town from a long-term perspective.
