Thankfully, since I started living in Chuo-ku, I have more opportunities to connect with people from different industries. There are many encounters with people involved in Chuo-ku, and it is very fresh to know new things.
One day in September, when I was invited to an event that was suddenly changed to indoor BBQ due to the typhoon, participants started introducing themselves and said, "Is it an interesting place in the neighborhood? House? There is a discovery ... ", and I made time at a later date and toured the room.
<The shape of a new way of life and life>
"Share house" has been used to in the past few years. Shared House is intended to share a house and live together. On the other hand, the social business lab (SBL), which was introduced this time, was aimed at creating a new social business, and it was a new way of life and life that I could live together for those who do everything. In addition, it seems that there is also a cheap rental space for people working on social business to get together and try it out.
<Concept of SBL>
By creating a cheap rental space in the city center, SBL aims to provide a place for activities for those who work for society, and to create a new social business through matching and interaction between those who use the space.
<The trigger for launching SBL>
It is the village of an NPO artist who operates SBL. Although I started working with the artist's village, I couldn't have an office and had a hard time securing a place to meet, so not only myself but also those who have just started the activity I started to create a place where everyone could gather. In addition, it seems that this place has begun, with the idea of sharing the house and space together.
<Overview of SBL>
Living space for those who want to do everything on the 5th and 4th floors
1st and 3rd floors Rental space where people working for society gather (500 yen / H)
※The second floor is an office of another company.
<Residents of SBL>
Those who are currently occupying are hot people with aspirations.
Michio Yunoki, the representative of the "Artist Village", is the person who created this place, and he wants to move in and do it thoroughly.
What is an artist's village?＞
In the artist's village, we aim to bring together people who are active in various fields to realize "I wish I had something like this."

<I've covered in detail>
By the way, as for the actual building, a five-story building with a roof near the entrance of the Metropolitan Expressway "Hakozaki". It is an old-fashioned building in a residential area, but the inside has been renovated. The most worrisome part of communal living (the only one I think?) The latest models were installed around the toilets, washrooms and bathrooms, and the impression was clean and very comfortable, but the inner wall still had the quaint sand wall as it was originally.
The first floor, which was originally a store, has a sense of openness, and plans to use it as an atelier or event space. He said he wanted to do something like marche and make it a place where people could easily interact with local people.
The third floor was a floor that could be used for offices and seminars, and we had everything we needed for meetings, such as desks, chairs, whiteboards, projectors, Wi-Fi. I'm grateful that the usage fee can be reduced at a low fee (500 yen / H) together.
The 4th to 5th floors are living floors (4 rooms in total).
＊＊＊
Personally, the most worrisome thing is the atelier space on the first floor, when I asked how to use it from outside, for example, I learned pottery as a hobby, but I exhibited my own work It can also be used as a general gallery for sale. Basically, it is free to use, but if you can consult with us, "Can you use it like this?", You will be able to discuss together and propose specific ideas. If you think so, there is no limit to the possibility of the user. I imagine that it would be fun if there was a gallery that was gradually opened to various generations, easy to enter and feel close to each other, from a gathering of people who knew it.
There is a homepage, and you can check the usage status of the first and third floors from there, and you can make a reservation.

By the way, it is a living space, but it is said that one room is still open. If you are interested, why not contact us via Facebook earlier or from [email protected]?
Some people have said, "Please come and play anyway!" I hope that people from diverse backgrounds will gather, and I hope that my neighbors will be able to engage with little effort so that this SBL will become a place to transmit new things not only to Chuo-ku but also to all over Japan and overseas.
Ginza, but winter illuminations are also shining in the neighborhood Hakozaki Park.
I was able to meet you
Until January 17th, vague lights illuminate the street at night.
