Towards a Future of "Running, Discovering, and Sharing" Regional Charms | Creating New Tourism Experiences with the Cycling App "SEEKCROW"

Our company endorses April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day for announcing dreams. This press release is a dream of E-Force Co., Ltd.

E-Force Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo, hereinafter "the Company") announces its dream to "spread the culture of 'running, discovering, and sharing regional charms' throughout Japan."

The "SEEKCROW" cycling app, provided by our company, is an SNS-type cycling application that allows users to discover, record, and share tourist spots and routes through cycling.

Users can post scenery and spots they find while cycling, and as these posts spread to other users, new tourism experiences are created.

The app is scheduled for official release in September 2025, and currently, user-generated content is accumulating, and its use in regional events is beginning to expand.

Furthermore, SEEKCROW is not just a recording app; it also supports experience design utilizing route creation and checkpoints, and is being used in events such as cycle rogaining.

It has already been introduced in multiple regional events and has contributed to improving participant satisfaction.

Our Dream In rural and mountainous areas where car-centric lifestyles are deeply rooted, charming landscapes and wonderful spaces are often overlooked. However, by utilizing bicycles, one can directly experience scenery and winds that would go unnoticed by car. In recent years, the widespread adoption of electric assist bicycles has significantly expanded the range of activity even in mountainous areas, contributing to people's health maintenance. Our dream is to create a world where "anyone can discover and share the charms of any region with their own feet" through this gear called the bicycle. Such as: ⚫︎ Scenery known only to locals, not found in tourist guides ⚫︎ Places that make you want to stop by ⚫︎ Roads that feel good to ride on

We aim to realize a "cycle of discovery" where these hidden values of a region are visualized through someone's post and lead to someone else's experience. Even in regions without famous tourist spots, connecting small spots by bicycle and interacting with local people can create wonderful, memorable tourism experiences. "SEEKCROW" was developed to achieve this "regional revitalization through cycling" and "chain of discovery."

A New Form of Tourism Connecting Regions and People SEEKCROW is a service that expands the appeal of regions, starting from user experiences. The posted information is accumulated not merely as reviews, but as "actual cycling experiences."

Furthermore, by collaborating with local governments and regional organizations, it is utilized for route design and event operation, creating new forms of tourism centered around cycling.

Future Outlook Going forward, we aim to collaborate with more regions and local governments to promote experience-based tourism through SEEKCROW.

"Cycling" will become a trigger for getting to know a region, connecting people with people, and regions with people.

We will continue to take on challenges to realize such a future.
