Charichari Sponsors Local Events to Promote Community Engagement and Cycling Culture

Charichari's Community Engagement Through Local Sponsorships

Charichari, the bike-sharing service operated by Charichari Inc., has recently announced its support for two major local events in Tokyo scheduled for October 18-19, 2025: the Sumida Street Jazz Festival and the Faster! Daiwa Transport Cup Toyosu Running Festival. Both events are designed to foster community spirit and encourage active participation.

Starting as a service in Fukuoka in February 2018, Charichari has since expanded to eight cities across Japan, earning over 38 million usage experiences. The company is proud of its role in providing an environmentally-friendly means of transportation, essential for daily travel as well as special occasions like these festivals.

Sumida Street Jazz Festival

The Sumida Street Jazz Festival, celebrating its 15th anniversary in 2025, aims to energize the local community through music. Since its inception in 2010, the festival has transformed Kinshi Park into a vibrant venue with 29 stages showcasing a range of musical performances. Alongside the music, there is also a gourmet food event featuring delicious game cuisine.

As a sponsor, Charichari provided ride tickets to staff and attendees, and set up temporary bike ports within the main venue at Kinshi Park. This effort enables festival-goers to easily move between stages, enhancing their overall experience of music and food. This marks the third year of Charichari's association with the festival, highlighting its commitment to cultivating a lively and enjoyable atmosphere.
