Umbrella Sharing Service "i-kasa" to Launch Across All Keisei Electric Railway Areas on April 21!

Nature Innovation Group Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Teruji Marukawa; hereinafter "i-kasa"), which operates the umbrella sharing service "i-kasa" with the mission of "comfortable and happy on rainy days and sunny days" and "zero disposable umbrellas," will sequentially install "i-kasa" rental spots (umbrella stands) at each station on the Keisei Main Line, Higashi-Narita Line, and Keisei Matsudo Line starting April 21, 2026, and has commenced service provision across the entire Keisei Line area (excluding some stations*).

This will enable customers using the Keisei Line to use "i-kasa" at stations throughout the entire line, from central Tokyo to Narita Airport, Chiba, and Matsudo areas.

*Excluding some stations under construction or managed by other companies.

Background of New Installation

In January 2026, the service area was expanded to include the Keisei Chiba Line and Keisei Chihara Line (※1). This time, to become a more seamless and reliable "rainy day mobility infrastructure" for residents and visitors along the line, the service has been expanded to a wide range of previously uninstalled areas on the Keisei Matsudo Line, Higashi-Narita Line, and Keisei Main Line, making i-kasa available on all lines. This will contribute to the reduction of "disposable umbrellas" left behind during railway use and promote an environmentally friendly lifestyle throughout the entire line, starting from the stations.

(※1) On January 28, "i-kasa" umbrella sharing service launched at a total of 10 stations, mainly on the Keisei Chiba Line and Keisei Chihara Line of Keisei Electric Railway!

■About the Umbrella Sharing Service "i-kasa"

"i-kasa" is Japan's first full-scale umbrella sharing service, launched in December 2018 with the mission of "comfortable and happy on rainy days and sunny days" and "zero disposable umbrellas." Its feature is that even with sudden rain, you can rent a sturdy and sustainable "i-kasa" at stations and in town without having to buy a disposable plastic umbrella each time, and when the rain stops, you can return the umbrella to the nearest umbrella spot, contributing to eco-friendliness while traveling conveniently hands-free. Currently, it has over 800,000 app registrants and is deployed in 12 prefectures including Tokyo Station and Shinjuku Station in the Tokyo metropolitan area, as well as Kanto, Kansai, Aichi, Okayama, Fukuoka, and Saga, with over 2,000 spots installed.

Amid increasing abnormal weather events such as rising temperatures and guerrilla downpours due to climate change, we aim to create a comfortable society on both rainy and sunny days while reducing environmental impact.
