e-Force Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo; hereinafter referred to as 'the Company') is announcing its dream to 'spread the culture of running, finding, and sharing regional charms throughout Japan.'
'SEEKCROW,' provided by the Company, is a social cycling app that allows users to discover, record, and share tourist spots and routes through cycling. Users post scenery and spots they find while riding, and as these posts spread to other users, new tourism experiences are born. The app was formally released in September 2025, and currently, the accumulation of user posts and its use in regional events are beginning to expand.
Furthermore, SEEKCROW is more than just a recording app; it supports experience design utilizing route creation and checkpoints, making it suitable for events such as cycle rogaining. It has already been introduced in several regional events, contributing to increased participant satisfaction.
## Our Dream
In rural and mountainous areas where car-centric lifestyles are rooted, attractive landscapes and wonderful spaces in the region tend to be overlooked. However, by utilizing bicycles, people can directly feel the scenery and the breeze that they wouldn't notice from a car.
In recent years, the spread of electric-assisted bicycles has greatly expanded the range of activities even in mountainous areas, contributing to the maintenance of people's health. Our dream is to use the bicycle as a 'gear' to create a world where 'no matter where you go, you can discover and share the region's charm with your own feet.'
- Scenery that only locals know
- Places you just have to stop by
- Roads that feel great to ride
These hidden values of the region are visualized through someone's post and lead to the next person's experience. We aim to realize such a 'cycle of discovery.' Even in regions without prominent tourist spots, wonderful and memorable tourism experiences can be created by connecting small spots by bicycle and interacting with local people. 'SEEKCROW' was developed to realize this 'regional revitalization through bicycles' and 'cycle of discovery.'
