Future Link Network Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Funabashi City, Chiba Prefecture, President: Takeharu Ishii, hereinafter FLN), which operates the local information website "MyPl" covering 893 municipalities nationwide, has welcomed Nakapo World Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, President: Mizuki Sugiyama, hereinafter Nakapo World) as a partner company to launch "MyPl Yokohama City Konan Ward," a local information website focusing on events, citizen activities, and shops in Konan Ward, Yokohama City, on July 1, 2026.
Features of "MyPl Yokohama City Konan Ward"
Yokohama City's Konan Ward is a highly convenient area for living, harmonizing vibrant commercial districts like Kami-Ooka and Konan-dai with quiet residential areas. It has deep connections as a living and commercial sphere with Isogo Ward and Kanazawa Ward, which Nakapo World already operates.
This website will carefully cover and deliver unique, locally-rooted information on shops, services, community activities, and events that have not been widely available online, aiming to help residents rediscover the charm of their local area and enrich their daily lives.
Reason for Participating in the MyPl Business
Since starting operations for "MyPl Yokohama City Isogo Ward/Kanazawa Ward Edition" in December 2019, Nakapo World has been deeply involved in promoting the appeal of local shops, businesses, and organizations through the "MyPl" local information website.
By combining the reliable information delivery capabilities to the local community cultivated through their posting business with the continuous online information dissemination through "MyPl," they have been confident in their ability to provide more powerful, locally-focused sales and customer acquisition support.
Through their past activities, they have received numerous earnest requests from local businesses saying, "We want to be known more in our local area," which has been the driving force behind this expansion.
Therefore, they decided to add Konan Ward, which is an existing area and has strong connections with Isogo Ward and Kanazawa Ward as a living sphere.
This establishes a broad information dissemination base covering approximately 265,000 households across the three wards.
Future Development
Following the launch of "MyPl Yokohama City Konan Ward," a dedicated team will be established to focus on information gathering and supporting listed stores in Konan Ward. Staff will continuously visit the area to gather and disseminate reliable information.
The site will be developed not just for listing store information, but also to deepen collaboration with local events and community groups, serving as a place for residents to "rediscover local charm" and for businesses to "meet local customers."
In the future, while using MyPl's information dissemination as a core, they will expand to offer multifaceted digital marketing support combining their strengths in posting, social media, Google Maps, and LINE, aiming to co-create "reasons to choose" for local businesses and contribute to further revitalization of the local economy.
