Nittetsu Kohwa Real Estate's +ONE LIFE LAB to Exhibit "Living Alone, Not Alone" at TOKYOROOMS Exhibition

Nittetsu Kohwa Real Estate Co., Ltd., headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, and led by President Masahiro Miwa, operates the "+ONE LIFE LAB" initiative. This initiative will present a spatial exhibition at the "TOKYOROOMS Exhibition," an interactive event held at TOKYO NODE (Toranomon Hills) from Saturday, April 18, 2026, to Sunday, May 17, 2026. The exhibition, themed "Living Alone, Not Alone," will showcase a new perspective on single living, drawing from +ONE LIFE LAB's 2025 fiscal year research. It will feature realistic spaces reflecting daily life, a digital exchange diary, and various data presentations. The Future Style Research Institute's "+ONE LIFE LAB" project focuses on enriching single lifestyles and proposing "plus one" elements for daily living. Its mission is to conduct research on "rethinking the richness of living alone in one's own way" through internet surveys, workshops, and discussions, disseminating findings via its website, social media, and product planning. The "FACT MAP" initiative visualizes real data on single life by age group and regularly identifies themes to provide insights for future living. Additionally, a platform for single-living consultations and columns fosters interaction between users and ambassadors, supporting individuals in discovering and nurturing their unique ways of life. Research from FY2025 indicated that while many single individuals positively embrace their alone time, a significant number also experience loneliness and anxiety about the future, particularly when encountering phrases like "days off" and "nothing to do," suggesting a prevalence of solitary situations at home. Based on these findings, the exhibition was conceived to leverage the "shared connection of living alone" as a means to alleviate anxiety and encourage self-reflection. The exhibition features a 6-tatami mat space and is designed to create a "chain of insights" through five interactive elements that allow visitors to experience the realities of living alone from various angles. These include four distinct experience areas: 1. Digital Exchange Diary: An online notebook where single individuals can share real experiences and connect with others, serving as a pilot project embodying the "Living Alone, Not Alone" concept. 2. One Lab TV: A program presenting news derived from "FACT MAP" and commercial-style segments for the digital exchange diary experience, also providing guidance on navigating the exhibition. 3. FACT MAP EXHIBITION: Displays popular "FACT MAP" content within the room, offering a visual and experiential understanding of single-life realities based on survey data. It also projects raw voices from single-living surveys, prompting visitors to reflect on their own lives. 4. BOOKSHELF: Contains articles and consultation booklets published by One Lab, alongside a list of frequently searched single-living keywords with QR codes for article access. The exhibition aims to portray the authentic realities of living alone, rather than an idealized version.
