The corporation supports April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day for sharing dreams. This press release is a dream of "Colorful NIPPON."

General Incorporated Association Colorful NIPPON (Location: Nishitokyo City, Tokyo; Representative Director: Masao Taira) will open "Colorful Nishitokyo Nexus," a new daily living support facility based on the concept of "disability x wellness (physical and mental health)," in Tanashi-cho, Nishitokyo City, in April 2026.

## ■ Background: The Power of "Wellness" Beyond Welfare, Connecting with the Community

Colorful NIPPON has, through facilities such as "Colorful Nishitokyo" and "Colorful Musashino," provided daily life support and opportunities for creative activities to individuals with intellectual disabilities. In fiscal year 2026, we will take on a new challenge: "operating wellness classes as productive activities." At the new facility, "Colorful Nishitokyo Nexus," we will establish a membership-based exercise gym where users will play a leading role in its operation, aiming to improve wages and contribute to the local community.

## ■ Three Features of "Colorful Nishitokyo Nexus"

### Employment Support Through the Operation of a "Membership-Based Exercise Gym"

A membership-based exercise gym will be co-located within the facility. Users will be responsible for practical tasks such as cleaning mats and washing towels and exercise clothes, directly participating in business operations. This represents a new model of "productive activity" that goes beyond the traditional framework of welfare facilities.

### Specialized Exercise Programs and Physical Adjustment

In addition to daily mat exercises and walking, activities will include physical adjustments by an osteopath (twice a month) and summer pool activities. Activities that refresh the mind and body, such as dance and karaoke, will also be enhanced.

### Comprehensive Support System Tailored to Diverse Needs

With a small capacity of 12 people, the facility actively accepts individuals with intellectual disabilities who have a disability support classification of 3 or higher. By operating in conjunction with the adjacent "Colorful Musashino" (capacity 8 people), a flexible support system with a total capacity of 20 people will be established.

We ensure sufficient personal space and a structured environment, allowing users to engage in daily activities safely and securely.

The corridor was designed to evoke an image of a forest. Small animals are hidden in the wallpaper, with the wish that "daily activities can be enjoyed even a little." Additionally, a space is provided for activities such as lying down, somersaults, and dancing.

The "Membership-Based Exercise Gym" will open classes such as yoga, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and dance to local residents, also striving to improve users' wages.
