Woven City is being built on the site of a former car plant in Susono City, Shizuoka Prefecture, in Japan. Toyota used CES 2025 to announce that the first buildings were completed in October, and it is time to start moving in residents.

Beginning in fall 2025, 100 residents known as “weavers” will move to the city, with that number expected to expand to 360 during phase one. Eventually, Toyota says, up to 2,000 people will reside in the city. They will primarily be employees of Toyota or Toyota’s Woven by Toyota mobility tech company.
