■ Concept
[ Facility Concept ]
Discover, Connect, Open.
8Peaks living is a place where people who work, live, and visit this town can spend time together, transcending their positions and purposes. By spending time here, they 'discover' new encounters and values, people and the town 'connect,' and these connections 'open up' to the future. We aim to be a 'town living room' that creates this chain reaction.
[ Space Concept ]
Earth, Rope, Wind
The space concept of 8Peaks living is 'Earth, Rope, Wind.' While cherishing the culture and climate of this land, nurtured since the Jomon period, as its soil, people and the town are connected like a rope. And from this place, a new wind is born and spreads throughout the region. We will create such a cycle within this space.
■ Facility Overview
Location: Belvia 1F, 3502-1 Chino, Chino City, Nagano Prefecture
Opening Date: Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 13:00
■ Facility Composition
8Peaks living is a multi-purpose space designed so that people's movements and relationships naturally intersect, rather than separating functions.
□ Living Area (Free Space / Event Space)
A station-front living room where anyone, including citizens, visitors, and business people, can drop by. Community managers are always present to support connections and foster daily conversations and accidental encounters.
□ Co-creation Lounge (KNOT LOUNGE 1・KNOT LOUNGE 2)
A multi-functional working space equipped with two open lounge spaces, meeting rooms, a kitchen, and a cafe space. With a cafe counter, a BIG table for collaborative projects, and a kitchen available for members' events, it becomes a place where people, ideas, and aspirations intersect, giving birth to new value.
□ Office (KNOT OFFICE)
A flexible workplace with private rooms accommodating from one person to team use. It is designed to naturally foster collaboration among resident companies and with the local community, in conjunction with the co-creation lounge and event spaces. Leveraging its direct connection to Chino Station, it is also ideal as a base for workation and tourism-linked projects, opening up the future of the town.
□ Food Hall (8Peaks DINING)
A place to enjoy local food and culture. It caters to various scenes, from daily use to tourism.
□ Bookstore
A bookstore rooted in the community, offering carefully selected books and beautiful stories and picture books. It serves as a hub for learning and discovery in daily life, providing access to local culture and knowledge.
□ SHOP
An area for shops that convey the lifestyle and charm of the Yatsugatake area, offering lifestyle goods and proposing new values.
□ BUS Ticket Counter
A ticket counter that serves as a bus departure and arrival point for local transportation companies. It is a bus ticket office that connects both tourism routes to Yatsugatake, Tateshina, Lake Shirakaba, Kurumayama Kogen, Venus Line, etc., and business.
■ Background and Aim
While Chino City is a gateway to the Yatsugatake area, with many people coming and going, the station front has remained merely a 'transit point.'
This project aims to transform the station front from a 'transit point' to a 'stay destination,' creating a place where people stop by, spend time, and connect, giving birth to new value and relationships.
