Educational Initiative by Area Link and Unko Drill

In an inspiring educational effort, Area Link Co., Ltd., a leading provider of rental trunk rooms in Japan, has teamed up with Bunkyosha to produce a special learning drill entitled "Unko Drill: Organizing". This initiative aims to support elementary school students by providing them with valuable tools to learn about organization and tidiness. Starting from mid-January 2026, the drills will be distributed free of charge to schools that express their interest through Bunkyosha.

Purpose of the Partnership

Area Link, headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, aims to enhance convenience and joy in everyday life through effective use of limited spaces. With this collaboration, they have taken a significant step towards social contribution by focusing on an essential skill that is crucial not only for adults but for children as well: the ability to evaluate what is necessary and organize their environment. As contemporary society is inundated with information and materials, cultivating such skills in children is vital for their daily lives, education, and future endeavors.

The new drill will leverage the popular universe of the Unko Drill series, encouraging children to learn vital habits for daily life and study, such as decisiveness, persistence, avoiding procrastination, and concentration. By framing these habits through the accessible and relatable theme of tidying up, children will engage in a learning experience that feels fun rather than mundane chores.

Learning Outcomes

The primary objective of this drill is to foster a better understanding among children about the principles of tidiness and creativity in organization. Through this initiative, Area Link hopes to empower children to interpret and act upon organizational concepts independently. The drill is designed to spark interest and motivate kids to embrace tidying as a proactive and thoughtful activity.
