Turning cultural heritage into a facility that conveys the charm of Kawagoe
"Koedo Kurari" is a facility in Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture, that has renovated the former Kagamiyama Sake Brewery building into a place offering Kawagoe's specialty products and food. Tanseisha provided comprehensive support, from legal arrangements for the reuse of the sake brewery, to creating a shop identity including the facility logo and spatial design, and attracting famous local shops and planning products. We introduce this project, which overcame various challenges to create a facility brand that maximizes the appeal of both the charm of a nationally registered tangible cultural property (cultural heritage) and the charm of Kawagoe.
