Yamato Haneda Chronogate — a visitor course that opens drawers

Haneda Chronogate, completed in September 2013 next to Haneda Airport, is one of Japan’s largest logistics terminals, run by the Yamato group. Its visitor course and exhibition space, ordered through Dai Nippon Printing with creative work by UCHIDA YOKO, aims to turn vague trust in Yamato into firm trust.

Saying thank you

The group said what it wanted most from the course was to thank its customers.

The team studied the group’s history and services to make visible things that are usually unseen: how parcels are handled, packing techniques, and the founders’ thinking.
