Our company, SUPER PARKING, which operates a private parking lot business at Narita Airport, has partnered with the professional farm 'Niko Niko Batake' to open the farm's first permanent direct sales stand at our coin parking lot Branch 2 near Narita Airport on Wednesday, April 29, 2026. At the end of February 2026, the husband was suddenly diagnosed with 'acute leukemia' and given '1 month to live.' His wife, Yumiko, is bringing to life the 'direct sales stand' they dreamed of together, while protecting their 10-cho (10 hectares) farm. From the Narita area, the gateway to Japan, we will broadcast the bond of this couple and extremely fresh vegetables to the whole country.
■ Background: A sudden trial and the couple's dream
Niko Niko Batake Direct Sales Stand Instagram
'Niko Niko Batake' is a professional farm run by a couple who left their corporate jobs to pursue agriculture that delivers smiles. Just as they began running towards their long-held dream of opening a direct sales stand, the husband received the harsh diagnosis of 'acute myeloid leukemia' with '1 month to live.' His wife, Yumiko, who was left behind, took on the heavy responsibility of managing the vast 10-hectare cultivation area, directing staff, raising their child, and nursing her husband. On Instagram, she shares the beautiful farm scenery alongside the reality of her husband's battle with the disease, her struggles as a wife, and the relationship of trust with friends who support them. This figure of 'agriculture facing life' has evoked much empathy.
■ Location characteristics: From Narita to the whole country, and to the local community
The 'SUPER PARKING Branch 2' where the direct sales stand will open this time is located in a strategic location extremely close to Narita Airport. Utilizing this location, we expect to approach a wide range of demographics as follows:
Travelers from nationwide and city centers: Creating an opportunity for people from urban areas and across Japan using the airport to experience the rich earthly blessings of Narita.
Airport workers: Providing the convenience of a 'town greengrocer' where airport personnel, who support Japan's infrastructure day and night, can drop by after work.
■ Product lineup: Extremely fresh '100-yen lettuce'
The stand will be lined with morning-harvested seasonal vegetables meticulously grown by Niko Niko Batake.
Top recommendation: Sunny lettuce, green curl, etc. Characterized by a crispy texture and surprising sweetness. We offer the freshness of being harvested every morning at a supportive price.
Other seasonal vegetables: Green onions, broccoli, etc. We deliver robust vegetables grown in vast fields.
■ Future outlook: 'Sustainable support' considering the burden
SUPER PARKING is considering expanding to other stores taking this opening as an opportunity. However, prioritizing Yumiko's current situation of health, nursing, and farm management, we plan to expand at a pace that aligns with the on-site situation to reduce the burden. We hope that the ordinary space of a 'parking lot' will become an opportunity for people to feel something through the daily activities of the Niko Niko Batake couple, delicious vegetables, and the richness of the local community.
