On-Site Relaxation After Imperial Palace Run: On-Demand Relaxation Service "Hogugu" Now Available at "MARUNOUCHI Bike&Run" Directly Connected to Tokyo Station

HOGUGU Technologies Inc. (Headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture; Representative Director: Kenichi Hanaoka; hereinafter, "the Company"), which provides the on-site relaxation service "Hogugu," will begin offering its corporate partnership plan, "Hogugu Official Partners," at "MARUNOUCHI Bike&Run," a runner's station operated by Japan Parking Development Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture; Representative Director and President: Kazuhisa Tatsumi), directly connected to Tokyo Station. From May 7, 2026, special discount coupons will be distributed and on-site treatment will be available within the facility.

This initiative will provide a "seamless wellness experience without the hassle of travel," completing everything from showers to full-scale relaxation in one place. This service targets runners immediately after exercise, business people commuting by bicycle around Marunouchi, active individuals enjoying long-distance cycling, and domestic and international travelers using the facility as a base for Tokyo sightseeing.

Background of Introduction

A survey conducted by Unknown Inc. in 2025 revealed that while 96% of respondents felt tired after exercise, many were not performing sufficient recovery care due to reasons such as "it's bothersome" or "no time." Against this backdrop, especially among busy business people, there has been a growing demand for an environment where "exercise × care" can be completed in a one-stop manner without the hassle of travel. At "MARUNOUCHI Bike&Run," many users also voiced their desire to receive care within the facility. This led to the introduction of this service as a means to improve time performance and balance physical and mental conditioning.

Mr. Suzuki, Manager of MARUNOUCHI Bike&Run

The purpose is to realize an environment where runners can receive smooth recovery care after showering, at the timing when they most need care after completing a race, by collaborating with "Hogugu," and to enhance the added value as a running station in Marunouchi. In addition, when this service was implemented for a limited number of registrants after a Tokyo marathon event, it received high evaluations from runners. In response to this, this partnership was established to create an environment where users can receive care at any time, not just during competitions.

Comment from Kenichi Hanaoka, Representative Director of HOGUGU Technologies Inc.

Since the launch of our service, our mission has been "making relaxation more accessible," and we have been working to create an environment where necessary care can be received when needed.
