AlphaDrive's New Era: Sotolist Revamped in Shizuoka

In December 2025, AlphaDrive, known for its outdoor rental services, successfully transitioned its rental service "Sotolist" to a new phase. With this move, the company has not only shifted its operations but also reinforced its vision of catering to the growing demand for outdoor activities, especially around the breathtaking Mt. Fuji.

The Need for Change

The outdoor market has been on an upward trajectory lately, with camping becoming increasingly popular among locals and visitors alike. Particularly, the area surrounding Mt. Fuji has garnered attention, becoming a sought-after camping destination for many both domestically and internationally. The strategic decision to relocate from the previous base in the Lake Kawaguchi area to a more functional site in Shizuoka City marks a significant milestone in enhancing customer experiences. By moving to Shizuoka, AlphaDrive aims to provide more convenient access and a robust support system for outdoor enthusiasts seeking adventures in the region.

New Store Features

The revamped store, now known as "Sotolist Shizuoka Store," is set to open its doors on March 1, 2026, with reservations available starting February 24. Located at 7-21 Umegau, Shimizu Ward, Shizuoka City, the store boasts a significant advantage: it provides easy access to nearby camping sites, including the popular Fumotoppara Campground, just a short drive away.

The Road Ahead

AlphaDrive remains dedicated to supporting regional businesses through sustainable growth and innovation. As part of its long-term strategy, the company seeks to break down barriers to outdoor experiences, generate tourism and community interactions, and establish a new growth model for local services. With the opening of the Sotolist Shizuoka Store, the company is well-positioned to bring comfortable and enriching outdoor experiences to more individuals.
