*1. (New) Background to Tetsumichi’s grand opening*
* (1) Keio Line Chofu Station underground, temporary use of former railway site*
In 2012, with the completion of the Keio Line/Sagamihara Line (near Chofu Station) Continuous Overpass Project, the railway was moved underground, and in 2017, Keio Corporation (Headquarters: Tama City, Tokyo, President and CEO) was built on land directly above the station. : Miyakomura
Satoshi) (hereinafter referred to as “Keio Electric Railway”) has opened Torie Keio Chofu (hereinafter referred to as “this
facility”). Due to the underground construction, we plan to sell the land other than this facility in stages, and in conjunction with the opening of this facility, we will open (former) Tetsumichi as a temporary use, and the facility will remain in operation until September 2023. It was operated and then sold to Chofu City.
* (2) Regarding redevelopment based on the pedestrian convenience promotion road system (*1)*
In July 2023, city road S56 (formerly Minami 14) was designated as a road to promote pedestrian convenience based on the provisions of Article 48-20, Paragraph 1 of the Road Act (Act No. 180 of 1950), and in September 2023 In April, a convenience promotion guidance area pursuant to Article 33, Paragraph 2 of the same law was designated within the road, and development was carried out by Chofu City.
After that, Keio Electric Railway applied for a public call for occupiers for “pedestrian convenience promotion facilities, etc.” in this area, and was selected as the occupier (*2). Then, we selected and designed the installations with the aim of creating a comfortable road space that does not impair its function as a road, while preserving the memory of the former railway site and the (old) Tetsumichi during its temporary use. We have carried out the maintenance in stages.
*1 “Pedestrian convenience improvement road (commonly known as Hokomichi) system means that road administrators designate routes for “pedestrian convenience promotion roads” and set up “convenience promotion guidance areas” within those sections. Standards have been relaxed, allowing tables and chairs that are difficult to install on roads to be installed on roads, which is expected to lead to the creation of roadside bustle and regional revitalization.

Headquarters SC Sales Department (Head office: Tama City, Tokyo, Representative Director and President: Miyakomura)
Satoshi) was certified as a prospective occupier, and the status of occupier was succeeded to Keio SC Creation Co., Ltd., whose business was transferred through an absorption-type company split on Monday, July 1 of the same year.
