Akippa Partners with Criacao for Improved Parking Solutions at JFL Games

Akippa and Criacao Join Forces

In an exciting development for football fans, Akippa Inc., led by CEO Genki Kanatani, has teamed up with Criacao Co., Ltd., which operates the JFL team Criacao Shinjuku under CEO Kazuhide Maruyama. This collaboration aims to enhance parking solutions and access for attendees at home games, beginning with the season finale on November 23, 2025, at Ajinomoto Field Nishigaoka.

Addressing Parking Challenges

Given the appealing location of Ajinomoto Field Nishigaoka, which is somewhat removed from the nearest train station and conveniently accessible from the Shinjuku area, many fans prefer to drive to the games. However, the absence of an official parking facility at the venue has made it challenging for spectators to find parking during match days, resulting in a pressing issue of limited availability addressed through this partnership.

In response, Akippa is working to raise awareness of nearby parking options registered on their platform. By leveraging a reservation system, they will allow fans to secure parking spots ahead of time, improving overall accessibility for those driving to the games. By offering this service, Akippa aims to provide an alternative and reliable transportation method for attendees.

A Convenient Experience for Fans

With the ability to reserve and pay for parking spaces online, visitors no longer need to worry about finding a spot on the day of the event. This advance booking service significantly reduces the stress for families or groups traveling together, enhancing their overall match-day experience.

This initiative is part of Akippa's commitment to collaborating with local clubs to develop and improve available parking facilities in the surrounding area. The goal is to alleviate parking shortages, not only during match days but also for various events and everyday mobility needs within the community.

About Criacao Shinjuku

Criacao Shinjuku has been a beacon of community engagement since its inception in 2005. Formed primarily by university soccer club members, the team's name, 'Criacao,' translates from Portuguese as 'creation.' Their journey has seen them compete in the Tokyo League and evolve into a recognized entity within the JFL, earning respect for their contributions to local soccer.

The team changed its name to 'Criacao Shinjuku' in 2018 to reflect its home in the Shinjuku area, becoming the representative team of the Shinjuku Soccer Association the following year. Their partnership with the local government highlights their commitment to addressing community challenges, including access to sports and facilities.
