Lime K.K. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Terry Tsai, hereinafter "Lime"), which provides electric mobility sharing services in about 30 countries worldwide, will participate in the "Multi-Mobility Port," the first* shared mobility hub developed by a parking operator, Mitsui Fudosan Realty Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President: Mitsuhiro Kodama, hereinafter "Mitsui Fudosan Realty"). As the first step, Lime will deploy "Lime Rakumo" and begin service at Mitsui no Repark "Minamisenju Ekimae No. 2". Additionally, "LimeBike" is scheduled to be deployed from mid-May onwards.
This initiative is a port-sharing model where multiple shared mobility operators jointly use a single port. Through participation in this port, Lime will contribute to improving the convenience of transportation in urban areas and building sustainable transportation infrastructure.
■ Background: Diversification of Mobility and Challenges in Port Development in Urban Areas
In urban areas, the diversification of transportation methods is progressing against the backdrop of increasing tourists, alleviating traffic congestion, securing last-mile travel from stations to destinations, and improving ease of movement around town. Under these circumstances, the spread of micro-mobility such as electric kickboards and shared bicycles is expanding, drawing attention as a new urban transportation infrastructure.
On the other hand, issues of convenience have been pointed out, mainly in urban areas, due to the lack of space for port installation and the dispersed placement of ports by different operators.
Amidst this, a model that utilizes existing parking lots and bicycle parking spaces, allowing multiple shared mobility operators to jointly use a single port, is attracting attention as a new initiative that balances effective use of urban space and improved convenience for users.
■ About the "Multi-Mobility Port"
The "Multi-Mobility Port" developed by Mitsui Fudosan Realty is an initiative to convert partial spaces of existing "Mitsui no Repark" parking lots and bicycle parking areas into hubs that can be jointly used by multiple shared mobility services.
This model, in which a parking operator takes the lead and collaborates with multiple mobility operators to develop ports, is the first* attempt of its kind in Japan. Since users can choose from multiple mobility services in one location, it is expected to improve the flexibility and convenience of transportation.
Furthermore, by effectively utilizing existing urban infrastructure, it contributes to solving the challenge of securing space associated with installing new ports, and is positioned as a new initiative to support the construction of sustainable mobility infrastructure in urban areas.
Mitsui Fudosan Realty aims to expand the "Multi-Mobility Port" to 500 locations by the end of fiscal 2026. Lime will further promote the construction of sustainable mobility infrastructure in cities through the expansion of such ports and collaboration with other operators.
*According to Lime research (April 2026)
■ Lime's Initiatives and Future Development
Through its participation in this port, Lime will promote the construction of a new urban mobility infrastructure through coexistence and collaboration with other operators.
Going forward, by strengthening collaboration with local governments and real estate operators and promoting sustainable port development utilizing existing urban infrastructure, we will contribute to expanding transportation options in urban areas and realizing a decarbonized society.
We will continue to strive to expand mobility infrastructure through collaboration with various partners to improve excursion capabilities in cities and enhance last-mile travel.
■ Port Overview
Parking Lot Name: Minamisenju Ekimae No. 2
Address: 7-28-5 Minamisenju, Arakawa-ku, Tokyo
Vehicle Type: Sit-down electric mobility "Lime Rakumo"
*Electric assist bicycle "LimeBike" is also scheduled to be deployed after May 2026

Our company is promoting the "Multi-Mobility Port" as an initiative to evolve spaces that have been used as parking lots and bicycle parking areas into forms that contribute more to improving urban value.
This initiative is a model in which a parking operator takes the lead and collaborates with multiple mobility operators, and is a new form of urban infrastructure that provides diverse transportation methods in one location. Through collaboration with each operator, we believe we can contribute not only to improving user convenience but also to improving town excursion capabilities and solving traffic issues.
We will continue to promote initiatives to realize a sustainable mobility society together with our partners.
