Business sites of the Nagasaki area seen from the inland sea
Togitsu Town, location of the Nagasaki area, is blessed with a vibrant natural environment. The facility faces an inland sea, which is an important target in Nagasaki Prefecture's biodiversity conservation plan. A waterway also runs through the site, leading to the inland sea. The area, surrounded by mountains, is home to a variety of aquatic and terrestrial species found on the premises. The Nagasaki area values its connection with the surrounding environment and actively works to coexist with nature, including maintaining the waterway environment, holding outdoor classrooms, and controlling invasive species.
Maintaining the environment of the waterway flowing through the site
A rainwater drainage channel that flows into the adjacent inland sea crosses the Nagasaki area. Rare creatures have been spotted in this waterway in previous wildlife surveys, making it a symbolic location for environmental conservation activities in the area.
To preserve this important ecosystem, we have installed a signboard along the waterways that introduce the fauna that have been confirmed to live there and the efforts being made in the area. These signboards are used to educate employees and convey information to local residents.
