Chiba Prefecture Tourism Media 'Gurutto Chiba': https://www.gurutto-chiba.co.jp/
Nandomi Marketing Group Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Toshiki Uchino) announces the integration of the Chiba regional information media 'Chiba Nijiiro Komachi' into 'Gurutto Chiba', resulting in a renewed media brand.
Furthermore, starting in April 2026, operations will commence under the newly formed 'Gurutto Chiba Inc., Headquarters: Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture', to further strengthen the regional media business. Moving forward, the company will not only enhance its influence as a web media platform but also expand into the publishing business and intensify sponsor recruitment. Additionally, through aggressive investment in AI development, the company will drive the AI initiatives of 'Gurutto Chiba', evolving the very way local information is delivered.
This integration, the launch of the new company, and AI investments are not mere operational adjustments. It is the full-scale launch of a next-generation regional media concept that connects Chiba Prefecture's charm, economy, people, stores, tourism, and lifestyle.
## Consolidating Chiba's Transmission Power with the Integration of 'Chiba Nijiiro Komachi'
Until now, 'Chiba Nijiiro Komachi' has delivered information on events, gourmet food, outings, and local charms in Chiba Prefecture from a unique perspective.
On the other hand, 'Gurutto Chiba' has operated as a regional information media covering the entire Chiba Prefecture, broadly disseminating new store info, special features, events, gourmet, lifestyle, and experience-based content. The site is structured to maintain broad touchpoints with the community, featuring pathways for businesses and sponsors.
While both media outlets had their respective strengths, management concluded that in an era of decentralized information, it is necessary to unify brand, editorial power, and transmission infrastructure to maximize the value of Chiba Prefecture.
With this integration, the community-based perspective cultivated by 'Chiba Nijiiro Komachi' and the brand power, information assets, and transmission channels of 'Gurutto Chiba' are consolidated.
We have established a system capable of delivering the charm of the entire Chiba Prefecture more powerfully than ever before.
## 'Gurutto Chiba Inc.' Launches in April. Making Regional Media the Foundation of 'Culture' and 'Industry'
The 'Gurutto Chiba Inc.' launching in April 2026 is not just a web media operating company. It represents a fresh start as the core of a regional media business that cuts across Chiba Prefecture's tourism, local economy, store support, corporate PR, and municipal collaboration.
Looking ahead, in addition to web distribution, we will advance developments that include publishing. There is value in local communities that cannot be fully conveyed through the web alone: the passion of the people, the history of the town, the depth of its culture, and the challenges undertaken by businesses. We aim to preserve and expand such charms of Chiba in the form of publications in the future.
It is no longer sufficient for local media to simply report on trending topics.
Regional media are now expected to play a role in editing, recording, and disseminating local charm, connecting it to the future of industry and culture.
'Gurutto Chiba Inc.' will earnestly shoulder this responsibility.
