Japan's First Phase-Free Certified Product Permanent Display Corner Opens at 'Lots INOUTDOOR' on June 26

Bellnet Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Hachioji City, Tokyo, Representative Director: Kazuhiro Suzuki) will grand open a new lifestyle hub 'Lots INOUTDOOR' on June 26, 2026 (Fri.) at Aeon Hachioji Takanodai (Hachioji City, Tokyo). The hub combines outdoor activities, camping cars, and specialty coffee, and features Japan's first permanent display corner for phase-free certified products and the only CAPTAIN STAG STAND in Tokyo.

This facility is the first concrete initiative following the 'Agreement on the Promotion and Enlightment of Phase-Free' signed with Hachioji City on April 24, 2026.

The store features Japan's first permanent display corner for phase-free certified products (※). Through outdoor products and lifestyle items, the hub promotes the concept of 'disaster prevention without preparation,' which integrates disaster prevention into daily life as a natural extension.

Against the backdrop of recent increases in the frequency and severity of natural disasters, the government is preparing to establish a disaster prevention agency. The Cabinet Office has also launched the 'Promotion and Study Group for Phase-Free,' discussing the creation of a new society that incorporates disaster prevention into daily life. Amid these developments, there is growing interest in initiatives where local governments, companies, and citizens collaborate to enhance regional disaster preparedness.

Lots INOUTDOOR is born as a new hub that responds to these social demands and disseminates practical models of phase-free from the region.
