In April 2016, `` Inagi Transmission Base Pair Terrace '' opened under the elevated JR Nambu Line Inagi Naganuma Station as a base to disseminate the charms of Inagi. In addition to revitalizing the area in collaboration with neighboring shopping streets, we also disseminate Inagi tourist information, sell specialty products, and also have a cafe space where you can enjoy light drinks using local ingredients.
Additionally, as part of the project, a 3.6m tall Gundam and Char's Zaku have been installed in front of the facility, and a monument to Yatter One has been installed in front of Minamitama Station on the JR Nambu Line. .
Additionally, we have installed 14 design plates of ``Yatter One'' and ``Scope Dog'' on the fall prevention fence of the ``Shinbori'' irrigation canal on the south side of JR Nambu Line Inagi-Naganuma Station.

Furusato Nozei is a system to support prefectures and municipalities with which you have a strong attachment to your hometown in the form of donations. The city presents special products of the city as a reward to those who donate 10,000 yen or more. Some of the rewards are related to the project, such as a pin badge set designed by Kunio Okawara. For details, please refer to “I (Ai) no Machi Inagi Support Donation (Furusato Tax)” .

As part of the project, we asked Mr. Kunio Okawara to design the main key visual with the background of the city. In 2015, JR Nambu Line Inagi Naganuma Station, 2016, JR Nambu Line Yanoguchi Station, and 2017, Yomiuri Land are drawn as backgrounds. It is displayed in the government building and at the pair terrace of the inagi transmission base.

Hosted by Mr. Kunio Okawara, a leading mechanical designer in the animation industry who lives in Inagi City. We have held events to discuss the theme of “Creation”.
