Charichari Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City; President: Kentaro Iemoto), operator of the bike-sharing service 'Charichari,' exhibited at the 'Aozora Assembly 2026,' held at the National Diet Building on June 8, 2026, by the Parliamentary League for the Promotion of Cycling.

Held for the first time in about three years since 2023, the event facilitated interaction between legislators and business operators, including test rides, and was a great success.

'Aozora Assembly 2026' is an event organized by the Parliamentary League for the Promotion of Cycling to further promote cycling. Aimed at raising awareness of the 'environment, health, transportation, and economy' through cycling as the Third Bicycle Promotion Plan is scheduled for Cabinet approval, the event saw participation from numerous attendees, including members of the Diet, relevant ministries, organizations, companies, municipal Tokyo offices, secretaries, and the media.

Charichari, with its mission to 'create the next standard in urban mobility,' aims to make daily short-distance travel more convenient and accessible through shared cycling. The company is committed to community-based service operations that complement public transit like trains and buses, contributing to improved urban mobility and expanded travel options.

At this exhibition, Charichari showcased its initiatives, the role of shared bicycles in cities, and the value brought by cycling to urban development. The company highlighted that cycling for transportation leads to multi-faceted benefits such as environmental impact reduction, health improvement, better urban flow, and revitalization of the local economy.

Charichari also participated in the previous 'Aozora Assembly' in 2023, which served as an opportunity for many to learn about the service. Through dialogue with legislators, ministries, municipalities, and organizations, Charichari aims to further expand the possibilities for sustainable urban mobility through cycling.

Charichari remains dedicated to building community-focused services, aiming to enrich society through mobility and solve urban transportation challenges.
