Toyota has completed the first phase of construction of Woven City, a futuristic city located on the former site of the Higashi-Fuji factory in Susono, Japan.
The project, announced during CES 2025 in Las Vegas, will welcome its first residents in the fall of this year, with 100 people, mainly employees of the automaker and their families. The goal is to gradually expand the population to about 2,000 inhabitants over time, including scientists, academics, and entrepreneurs.
Woven City will be a “living laboratory,” where residents will test new ideas and technologies in a safe environment. Sustainability will be a priority, with low or zero-emission transportation and the use of autonomous vehicles, such as the e-Palette.

The project will focus on four main areas: mobility, goods, information, and energy, with innovations such as personal mobility devices, security drones, and robots for the elderly.
Toyota also plans to encourage startups and entrepreneurs to join the project by offering grants to test innovations.
Woven City, located with Mount Fuji in the background, aims to become a research and development center for new technological solutions, especially in the field of mobility, and a platform for external companies to contribute with their ideas.
