Shochiku Co., Ltd. (Note 1) is pleased to announce the grand opening of 'kuguru', a mixed-use facility integrating residences and commerce, with all seven stores now open. This facility was completed in November 2025 on a site adjacent to Yamaso Inari Shrine in the Ofuna area of Kamakura City, where the 'Shochiku Ofuna Studio' once stood, with planning and architectural design supervision by Blue Studio Co., Ltd. (Note 2). This press release introduces the unique lineup of stores and provides details on the opening event 'Ohirome Fuku no Ichi', which will be held for the media and local residents on Sunday, May 31, 2026. We warmly invite everyone to attend. Note 1: Shochiku Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director & President: Toshihiro Takahashi) Note 2: Blue Studio Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director & President: Hiroshi Ochiyama) 〇 Concept of 'kuguru' 'kuguru' is a mixed-use facility integrating residences and commerce, embodying the concept of 'Nariwai Lifestyle' where living and business coexist. It inherits Ofuna's 'face-to-face business culture' and the 'craftsmanship culture' cultivated by Shochiku Ofuna Studio. The facility consists of dedicated commercial spaces (2 units) and commercial-residential units with earthen floors (doma) that allow for both living and 'nariwai' (livelihood/work) (5 units). Now that it is fully open, colorful 'noren' (shop curtains) line the eaves, reflecting the individuality of each shop owner. The approach to the shrine, as the facility name 'kuguru' (meaning 'to pass through') suggests, creates a vibrant scene where each time you 'pass through' a noren, new joys of living and conversations with shopkeepers emerge, making you want to stop by. 〇 Introduction of Tenants 〇 Opening Event Details [Name] Yamaso Inari Shrine and kuguru Ohirome Fuku no Ichi [Date] Sunday, May 31, 2026, 11:00-15:00 [Location] kuguru (Address: 2-21-6 Ofuna, Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture 247-0056 ). 6-minute walk from Ofuna Station on the JR Tokaido Line, Yokosuka Line, and Keihin-Tohoku Line.
