https://showania-toyama.peatix.com/view Sharing memories is more than just nostalgia. For older people, it can help reduce loneliness and prevent dementia, and for younger generations, it can be an
opportunity to learn about the diversity of values. Usednet is a company with over 20 years of experience in the reuse industry. We developed “Showania” because we wanted to cherish not only the objects themselves, but also the memories that reside within them. In January 2025, we rented out Tokyo’s Toden Arakawa Line for the “Showania Experience Event.” Since then, we’ve expanded the event to various locations across the country, including Okayama in March and Hakodate in July, evoking the energy of the Showa era. We plan to hold more events across the country in the future, and anticipate using the event in a wide range of settings, including recreational activities at nursing homes, multigenerational interactions at companies, and community revitalization in local municipalities. “It’s not the ‘things’ themselves that people can’t let go of, but the ‘memories’ that reside within them. Showania is a card game that connects people by sharing those memories, enriching their lives. On this milestone of the 100th anniversary of the Showa era, we hope to spread the game from Saitama to the rest of the country. 【Contact Information】 Used Net Co., Ltd.
