Iwatani Corporation has been working on the development of commercial hydrogen refueling stations towards the early realization of a hydrogen energy-based society, and has promoted the opening of hydrogen stations with a focus on Japan’s four major metropolitan areas to date.

Currently Iwatani's six hydrogen stations, which are Shiba Park/Tokyo Ikegami/Aichi Kariya/Osaka Honmachi/Osaka Morinomiya/Yamaguchi Shunan, opens 9a.m and closed 5p.m in weekday. And they closed 1p.m. in weekend. But they will extend the closed time to 10p.m. in weekday and 5p.m. in weekend.

Iwatani will look at extending business hours in the interests of customer convenience, including at other hydrogen stations, and will also consider telephone-based bookings.
