(Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and CEO: Daiki Okai; hereinafter "Luup") will resume providing "LUUP" micro-mobility sharing service in Sapporo, Hokkaido, from 10:00 AM on Wednesday, April 15, 2026. On the same day, in collaboration with the Hokkaido Prefectural Police and Tokio Marine Holdings, Inc.

Background
Luup's mission is to "create infrastructure that turns every street into a station front," and it is expanding its micro-mobility sharing service "LUUP" nationwide. By comprehensively handling electric, compact, single-person vehicles such as electric assist bicycles and electric kickboards, and establishing first-mile and last-mile transportation, Luup aims to realize a society where everyone can move comfortably.
In Sapporo, to contribute to solving transportation issues such as alleviating chronic traffic congestion, securing last-mile transportation, and improving tourist circulation, service began in July 2025 (*). After a winter break, this year, from Wednesday, April 15, to further improve convenience, the number of ports will be increased from 67 last year to 85. Through safe and convenient use by Sapporo citizens and visitors for tourism and business, Luup aims to further revitalize the city.
Additionally, with the application of "blue tickets" to bicycles from Wednesday, April 1, interest in traffic rules is increasing. To provide an opportunity to re-understand the correct traffic rules for bicycles and electric kickboards (specified small motorized bicycles), a safety workshop will be held on the service resumption date. Furthermore, to allow more people to experience the convenience and exhilaration of LUUP, an "All-You-Can-Ride Campaign" will also be held exclusively in the Sapporo area.
