ONE STEP Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Miyazaki City, Miyazaki Prefecture), which plans and rents playground equipment for events, has delivered a professional trampoline that allows people of all generations to safely enjoy exercise to "ONE VILLAGE PARK," a multi-generational exchange facility scheduled to open on Saturday, May 16, 2026, in Yamato Town, Miyagi Prefecture.
This facility, which revitalizes the gymnasium of the former Sakamoto Junior High School, which was closed down, will provide an all-weather exercise environment that is not affected by the weather, and will be widely utilized for everything from gymnastics instruction and basic physical strength improvement for local children to health promotion for the elderly.
It is attracting attention even before its opening as a featured content that combines the regeneration of idle facilities with the resolution of regional issues.

■ Background of Introduction and Approach to Regional Issues
The stage, Yamato Town, Miyagi Prefecture, is undergoing new town development after the Great East Japan Earthquake reconstruction. However, it faces challenges such as "hardly any indoor playgrounds" and "the highest aging rate in the prefecture (4th worst)," leading to a decrease in opportunities for exercise and interaction for children and the elderly.
Stepping up to address this was Yohei Iwai, a member of the local government's Regional Revitalization Cooperation Team in Yamato Town, who also has a track record of activities with world-class performance groups.
With a strong desire to "give back the experience cultivated to his hometown and create a place where smiles gather," the "ONE VILLAGE PARK" concept, which utilizes the gymnasium of the former Sakamoto Junior High School, was launched.
To make the facility function as a "Kids Land where families gather during the day and a space for gymnastics and dance lessons at night," ONE STEP has delivered a trampoline park.
This initiative is attracting attention as an innovative approach that not only transforms a disused school gymnasium into a new "village for multi-generational exchange" but also simultaneously solves two serious issues in Miyagi Prefecture: "shortage of indoor play spaces" and "shortened healthy lifespans due to aging," through exercise and interaction.
