Our desire to make traveling around Fukuoka more convenient and enjoyable, and to work together with everyone to think about urban development, led to this result. I am very happy to be able to share the first results with you.

I am both surprised and grateful for the number of requests we have received through this project.
Our collaboration with everyone at neuet began with the common goal of “making Fukuoka a more convenient city.” By combining Charichari, which is a local transportation tool, and LINE, which has a large number of users, we were able to receive requests not only from the city center but also from a wide range of Fukuoka city.
After that, as a result of the cooperation of various people, the voices of the citizens took shape and the changes that actually brought about the town are an embodiment of the citizen-participatory town development that LINE Yahoo Communications has been promoting. is.
I am very happy that through this project, we were able to contribute to improving the convenience of the city through co-creation with citizens. We will continue to work to solve urban issues by
transcending the boundaries of local governments, businesses, and citizens.

“Charichari” is a bicycle sharing service that can be easily used by unlocking a dedicated red bicycle using a smartphone app. Basic bicycles can be used for 6 yen per minute, and electrically assisted bicycles can be used for 15 yen per minute, and we aim to provide an experience that you can use anytime and anywhere you want.
The service began in Fukuoka in February 2018, and has grown to date with approximately 4,200 bicycles and over 690 bicycle parking ports, and has been used more than 20 million times.
In addition, from 2020, we will expand the service in Nagoya City and the Tokyo area, and will begin rolling out in Kumamoto City from April 2022.
Due to minute-by-minute pricing and easy-to-use app specifications, our service is mainly used for short daily trips in various areas. ■Charichari’s web/SNS information
