"Experiential" Information Utilizing Store Space
At Kinko's Shinagawa store, a special corner has been set up in a booth style, designed to naturally attract visitors and allow them to access information. The displays and fixtures utilize Kinko's printing services and production know-how, creating a space that conveys information visually and experientially.
Going forward, projects that link with the community, such as exhibiting works from the Minato City Tourism Photo Contest, will be developed, and Minato City's attractions will be promoted in more diverse ways.
*Booth-style information is limited to the Shinagawa store.
Kinko's is recognized as a "Crew (companion)" that broadly promotes Minato City's attractions and brand both domestically and internationally, and is certified as one of Minato City's "MINATO City Promotion Crew". This initiative is part of that effort.
