Future Link Network Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Funabashi, Chiba; President: Takeharu Ishii; hereinafter FLN), a company promoting the creation of relational populations, has launched a project in collaboration with JP Digital Co., Ltd. This initiative combines the information-sharing power and contents of FLN with 'POSTUDIO,' a concept store by the Japan Post Group located in Takanawa Gateway City.
The project starts with a pilot model in Chiba Prefecture, with plans for a wide-scale expansion collaborating with local governments and regional businesses nationwide.
### 1. Background: Post Office Information Power x FLN Content Capabilities
POSTUDIO promotes the charms of various regions by utilizing the rich information held by post offices across Japan. On the other hand, FLN has 25 years of experience in editing regional information and digital broadcasting. In recent years, FLN has also focused on designing new connections between people and regions through its 'People x Experience x Base' strategy. This collaboration was born from the high affinity between POSTUDIO's regional charm promotion and FLN's relational population creation scheme. By using POSTUDIO as an entry point for people to discover regions through themes they like, the project accelerates deep regional experiences and opportunities that are difficult to achieve through digital means alone.
### 2. Project Overview: From Online to Real 'Relationships'
The project creates sustainable relational populations through the following cycle:
- **Deepening Information:** Co-hosting the 'Local Job Real Talk Salon' to visualize the thoughts and challenges of local companies through online events, delivering the raw reality of regions through the post office network.
- **Real Touchpoints:** Multipurpose use of 'POSTUDIO' at Takanawa Gateway City to host events and networking sessions, providing a place for those interested online to touch local culture and food.
- **Multifaceted Co-creation:** Expansion into large-scale regional revitalization programs combining 'Mobility, Accommodation, Experience, and Employment' in collaboration with infrastructure companies and educational institutions.
### 3. Pilot Case: Starting in Chiba Prefecture
As the first phase, a special edition of the 'Local Job Real Talk Salon' was held involving railway operators in Chiba (Chiba Urban Monorail, Isumi Railway, Choshi Electric Railway, etc.). The online event on February 27, 2026, attracted over 170 applicants. Moving forward, the project will create a flow of people from urban areas to various regions in Chiba through real events at the POSTUDIO store.
### 4. Future Outlook
Leveraging the knowledge gained in Chiba, the project will accelerate horizontal expansion across the national network. In partnership with POSTUDIO, the project aims to uncover the hidden charms of regions and realize a society where people can deeply engage with and contribute to any region from anywhere in the country.
