Head Office is located in Midori-cho, Koganei-shi, Tokyo. There are still many trees remaining around the office: Tokyo Metropolitan Koganei Park, one of the best cherry blossom-viewing spots in Tokyo, and Tamagawa-Josui, a canal well known for a scenic beauty of “Koganei Cherry Trees”, etc.
Koganei conducted the following activity in order to protect and preserve as many trees as possible.
In fiscal year 2002, Koganei made a green plan and constructed a north annex of Technical Center preserving as many existing cherry trees as possible.
In the spring, the cherry trees are covered in pink blossoms as beautiful as ones in Koganei Park.
Not only employees but also local residents are much attracted by the cherry blossoms in the office.
