"Yorii Star Prince PA" 6/30 open!

NEXCO EAST (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo), the Kan-Etsu Expressway Yorii Parking Area (PA) In-bound Line (Fukaya City, Saitama Prefecture), which had started renovation work from January this year, was Wednesday, June 30, 2010 at 11:00 am Open Also, the nickname of this PA was set as "Yoriisei no Oujisama PA" and the logo mark was also decided.

This year marks the 110th anniversary of the birth of Saint-Exupéry, the author of "The Little Prince", and this year, Japan will be the first parking area to collaborate with "The Little Prince". In the new parking area filled with the atmosphere of Provence in South France, which is associated with Saint-Exupery, we would like many people to feel "comfort" and "comfort" during the drive.

Yorii The Little Prince PA was made possible in collaboration with Saint Exupery's book "The Little Prince", which is loved all over the world.

Yorii The Prince of Stars PA cherishes "healing" and "bonds" away from everyday life based on the concept of "healing" and "contact with people" from the world view of "prince of stars" We will create a space of hospitality throughout the PA. Not only the buildings of commercial facilities, but also the main line approach, walking paths, rose gardens, cafe terraces, and other surrounding gardens create a Provencal atmosphere in southern France.

A new logo for the Yoroshi no Oujisama PA has been created.

I hope that everyone will be familiar with you.

We will open a restaurant, a food and drink stall called a satellite (bakery shop, omelet shop, cafe) and shops.

Yorii Hoshi no Oujisama PA will provide hospitality services everywhere that value the "bond" between people. The staff will visit the PA while responding sincerely to the customer's questions and troubles, such as the facility, sightseeing, and "The Little Prince".

In terms of the facility's hardware, we will redesign toilet facilities to make them barrier-free and change parking spaces. Regarding the toilet, we will eliminate the step in front of the booth, review the proportion of Western style toilets, introduce ostomate equipment and easy-to-understand signs, and renovate the interior, and give a unified appearance as a whole. Regarding parking spaces, we will change the layout in consideration of customer's ease of use and safety, such as changing one part (10 spaces) of the current large mass to a bus priority mass.

Within PA, we will utilize existing trees to harmonize with the surrounding environment, and will install solar power generation and LED lighting. In addition, heat-shielding pavement will be used as part of the pavement.

(*Heat-shielding pavement is to reduce the surface temperature and heat accumulation by reflecting the infrared rays in sunlight efficiently by applying a material containing a special pigment or ceramic component on the coated surface. The temperature can be reduced by about 10℃ from the asphalt pavement surface.

Also, when eating and drinking at the facility, we will use ceramic tableware and return it to our customers to promote an eco-activity campaign such as reducing garbage. In addition, when purchasing drinks at the cafe, discounts will be offered to those who bring their own cups.
