Tohoku Regional Head Office Office Koriyama Management Office
NEXCO EAST Koriyama Management Office (Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture) collaborated with Fukushima Prefectural Iwase Agricultural High School (Kagamiishi Town) and Sunflower Welfare Association (Sukagawa City) to hold E4 on November 14th (Monday). At the Tohoku Expressway Sukagawa Interchange (IC), we will maintain the flower beds.
As in the previous year, high school students and welfare association members will work together to plant pansies and violas, which will bloom vigorously even in the cold of winter.
This initiative includes the Flower and Green Peaceful Expressway Garden Project, which uses plants and flowers to create a relaxing space where customers can easily use rest facilities and refresh themselves. It is implemented as part of the “Kofuku (Happiness) Collaboration” that aims to increase opportunities for active participation by people with disabilities and contribute to the revitalization of local communities.

The name was inspired by the idea of "agriculture and welfare collaboration," which is a collaboration between agriculture and welfare.
The logo mark puts the word "people" on the Expressway, the right side represents our company, and the left side represents our partners, supporting each other. It looks like a plus + and is a design that is reminiscent of improvement.
