A 100-year-old traditional house in Namekawa City becomes a new base
"BURNING CORE TOYAMA GAMING BASE" , a new e-sports base newly born in Namekawa City, Toyama Prefecture, is a renovated old traditional house built over 100 years ago, which will serve as a practice and competition venue for players. The room has been set up.
The interior is partitioned with glass, and the gaming space is lined with six PCs and monitors. There will also be space for spectators, and we are considering the possibility of public viewing to watch the game through glass.
eSports x Namekawa City, Toyama Prefecture
“BURNING CORE TOYAMA GAMING BASE” will be used not only as a competition venue but also as an event space, with the aim of developing it as a place that connects Namekawa City and the world.
As the first step in the initiative to connect Namerikawa City with the world, the ``Namerikan School'' was opened to discuss dreams and create ideas for the future of Namerikawa City with students in the city.
This school is a practical school that creates the future of Namekawa by having discussions with various guests and themes each time, incorporating the latest technology and perspectives from outside the prefecture and overseas.
In the future, we will hold events that include international exchange, etc., to expand the horizons of students in Toyama Prefecture and grow into a school where they can have new dreams.
I’m looking forward to the future development of “BURNING CORE TOYAMA GAMING BASE” !
