In a significant move to enhance local community engagement in Shinjuku, Intersect Communications, known for its business in digital transformation, inbound tourism support, and cashless payment solutions, has established a partnership with the JFL team Clarison Shinjuku. This collaboration aims to leverage both companies' expertise to strengthen ties with international visitors and enrich the local community.

Background of the Partnership

Clarison Shinjuku, a football club based in Shinjuku, actively competes in the Japan Football League (JFL) while promoting local engagement through soccer. The club's philosophy centers on interacting meaningfully with the surrounding community via sports, striving for both competitive success and community connections.

On the other hand, Intersect Communications, headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, specializes in promoting tourism to Japan from international markets, primarily in China and Taiwan. The company has been working diligently to improve the welcoming infrastructure and convenience for international visitors through initiatives like its QR payment service, Intapay.

Shinjuku is notable for its diversity, with approximately 50,000 foreign residents making up about 14% of the district's population. Additionally, it's a popular destination for international tourists, which enhances its international city character where living, working, and consumption intersect.

Given this dynamic backdrop, the partnership is expected to tap into Clarison Shinjuku's commitment to engaging with local communities through soccer while synergizing with Intersect’s expertise in international tourism and cashless solutions.

Future Initiatives in Shinjuku

This partnership will focus on initiatives that embrace the unique characteristics of Shinjuku, utilizing soccer as a catalyst for building connections within the community. Together, they plan to reach out to young generations, including students and international visitors, enhancing tourism and engagement through soccer-related activities. The intention is to elevate the experience of both domestic and international visitors coming to Shinjuku by facilitating regional collaboration and information dissemination.

Furthermore, Intersect and Clarison intend to collaborate with educational institutions and other local organizations to ensure that their efforts provide meaningful value to those who live, work, and gather in Shinjuku.
