TOYOTA WOVEN CITY OFFICIALLY LAUNCHES IN JAPAN

Taking its first steps as a real-world test course for mobility, Toyota Woven City has welcomed its first residents at the foothills of Mt. Fuji in Susono City, Japan. Phase 1 of the Woven City, designed by Nikken Sekkei with the masterplan, public realm, and landscape by BIG, brings together ‘Inventors’ – enterprises, startups, entrepreneurs, and researchers – and ‘Weavers’ – its residents and visitors – into a living laboratory for mobility, autonomy, connectivity, hydrogen infrastructure, and industry collaboration. By combining the legacy of Japanese craftsmanship with modern technology, Japan’s construction heritage lives on, while building sustainably and efficiently into the future. Toyota Woven City Phase 1 will welcome about 300 residents, with the city slated to open to the public in April 2026.
