Daruma Yokocho benefit image 01

Stores and events started to "make Hiragishi more enjoyable

Daruma Yokocho includes "Apple Lodge," a dining bar renovated from a 100-year-old brick former apple storehouse, a registered tangible cultural property, "Taxi Garage Cafe," a renovated cab hangar used as a filming location for Netflix's "First Love: First Love," and "Dharma Alley," a restaurant and event space that offers a variety of dining options. The "Taxi Garage Cafe" and "Nick Junk," which emphasizes hearty and satisfying food, stand side by side in the area. Our goal is to create a place where anyone, young or old, male or female, can freely enjoy themselves. We started this business by utilizing the space of a cab company to make people feel as happy as possible to live in Hiragishi.

Other events include the "HOKKAIDO-1" comedy event to support comedians from Hokkaido who want to make a splash, Hiragishi JAZZ (live music) to continue the JAZZ culture that has continued in Hiragishi for nearly 20 years, and "Dharma Yose," which is held with the goal of creating a permanent theater in a residential area in Sapporo. Dharma Hall" holds such events as "Dharma Yose," which is held with the aim of creating a permanent theater in a residential area of Sapporo. The "Hiragishi Marche," a community-based marché held twice a month on Sundays from May to October (once a month from November to April), utilizes cab parking lots and is now in its fifth year. Daruma Yokocho was designed to be an "entrance to the town" that is open to the community, despite the fact that it is a site and building owned by a cab company.

We also designed it to be more easily usable. Always 10% discount for food and beverages in Yokocho

In order to make it easier for everyone to use and enjoy the service, we have introduced a new benefit that allows registered users to receive a 10% discount on food and beverages at any of our directly managed restaurants in Yokocho by showing the registration screen on our LINE or Instagram. In addition, one drink will be offered free of charge when Hiragishi Marche is held or at events hosted by Hiragishi Hire. Through these benefits, which are offered free of registration fee and charge, we hope to establish a more casual spot in the community and provide an opportunity for residents to interact with each other and create new connections.

<Apple Lodge

Apple Lodge" is a dining bar renovated from a brick former apple storehouse from the Taisho Era (1912-1926), a registered tangible cultural property of Japan that is over 100 years old. As a meat and pasta restaurant, we offer a variety of meat dishes that go well with drinks, as well as pasta and pizza.

<Nick Junk>.

With the support of the delicious meat flavor pursued by a popular restaurant in Susukino, we offer the best juicy and janky hamburgers. The handmade patties and sauces are what make them so satisfying. You can take out or eat in at our sister restaurants, Apple Lodge and Taxi Garage Cafe.

＜Cab Garage Cafe

A renovated 60-year-old Showa-era cab hangar, this is where Takeru Sato and Hikari Mitsushima spent the filming of Netflix's "First Love: Hatsukoi". Aiming to create a place where people can stay for a long time, we have created a place where everyone can spend time casually as a café where you can enjoy a full meal or have a drink.

What is Daruma Yokocho?

It is still the business premises of Hiragishi Hire and had no direct contact with the local community, but we opened it to local residents as "Daruma Yokocho" and began operating it as a local spot where people can always casually drop by and "enjoy Hiragishi with their families. In the future, the company is considering distributing event information to registered users and collaborating with university students on projects. As a cab company with an "overwhelmingly community-based" philosophy, we intend to create a "place to stay and connect" that is even more open to the community.
